However, as an experienced dental technician, you can use digital working steps to enhance your manual skills and make your processes more reliable. Learn more about the advantages of a clever <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">collaboration between conventional processes and CAD\/CAM<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in this report.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conventional procedures and CAD\/CAM: it\u2019s not a question of either\/or<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many dental technicians are afraid of the moment they have to make the difficult decision: analogue or digital? But it doesn\u2019t have to be a choice of either\/or since both are possible together. CAD and CAM in dental technology cannot, should not and will not replace classical craftsmanship and therefore also dental technical skills and expertise. Even you, an accomplished dental technician who values solid craftsmanship, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">can digitalize certain steps and enjoy the advantages<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two essential advantages<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are essentially two very clear advantages, that a combination of analogue and digital can provide you with in your everyday routine:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">More processing safety<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reproducibility<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The following 2 examples show exactly what you can expect:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Example 1: the press technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are you a fan of classical press technology? If so, then you will know: The press technique involves many finely detailed working steps. In particular, the preparation of the wax objects requires a lot of skill and time. Consequently, this is a high-risk procedure in which errors can easily occur. Why not simplify things and work more efficiently? Allow the digital process to help:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mill your wax objects from a suitable wax disc (e.g. ProArt CAD Wax yellow).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then sprue them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Subsequently, invest them and press them with IPS e.max Press.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The advantage of this procedure: You can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">work more efficiently<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> because, firstly, you save time and, secondly, reduce risks. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IPS e.max Digital Press Design<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> software consists of the two add-ons Wax Tree and Press Multi. These software solutions make waxing and spruing procedures quicker and increase the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">safety and efficiency of the entire pressing process<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. In addition, you can increase the use of your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">milling machine<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Example 2: casting technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Well yes, the good old casting technique is losing its importance more and more. Even so, there are cases where it is still needed today \u2013 and will still be need in the future too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can save yourself the time-consuming task of waxing-up the framework pattern by hand. Allow the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">digital process to help<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: In particular with larger frameworks \u2013 such as multi-unit bridges \u2013 it takes a relatively long time to wax-up the object by hand. This is our tip to you: Design your wax framework on the computer and mill the CAD design directly in wax. Then, you can cast the framework in the metal alloy of your choice. If something goes wrong during casting, you can quickly re-mill the exact same wax object by simply pressing a button. This way you can avoid the risk of having to start the work again from the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Make your work reproducible!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2019s the reproducibility which makes CAD data particularly interesting for you. If you work digitally, you will always have the collected data available long term. Use your CAD data for the production of the temporary restoration as well as for the final restoration. Avoid having to perform the same procedure twice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion: it\u2019s worth it<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this post, we&#8217;ve shown you two examples of how a clever collaboration of conventional and digital procedures can achieve <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">great results even more safely and more efficiently<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Think about it! Use the digital possibilities \u2013 such as CAD\/CAM in dental technology \u2013 as an opportunity, as help and as support.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the long term, classical craftsmanship and dental technical expertise will always remain indispensable in dental technology.
