Digitalisation is on the advance
Everywhere: In the private sector and in the business world. Moreover, it won't stop at the dentist's offices either. There has been a considerable increase in the number of available chairside systems in only the last few years.1 Because 100% of patients prefer the digital workflow.2 They are a primary driver of the digital dentistry revolution currently taking place, because ultimately most patients choose where to receive care.3 55% of surveyed consumers said advanced technology was very important to their selection of a dental office.6
More than 15.000...
...dental practices already use intraoral scanners throughout Europe. Intraoral scanners are one of the fastest growing segment (16-20% until 2020) in the digital dental solutions industry and is an important driver for CAD/CAM solutions: Almost half of the facilities in Europe with intraoral scanners use a Chairside milling system. The market for 3D printers in Europe is growing too. Experts expect a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of over 15% from 2016 to 2020.4
One of the main reasons...
...is that intraoral scanners have become increasingly better, smaller, and faster, while the design software has become more and more user-friendly.1 The intraoral scanners provide details of soft-tissues located in the intraoral area through images of extreme quality.5 The digital impression techniques are already superior to conventional impression techniques in certain respects. Moreover, the quality of fit of digitally designed dental restorations is constantly improving because of advances in milling machine technology.1 3D printing is capable of improving the patient experience in conjunction with modern 3D scanning technologies by eliminating the physical impression completely.3
