Press Release Ragle Dental Lab / Cadent
Ragle Dental Laboratory to expand digital manufacturing platform with
the Cadent iTero™ Digital
Impression System
Champaign, IL – Feb 02, 2009 – Ragle Dental
Laboratory, one of the leading laboratory manufacturers of conventional and cosmetic
dental restorations, announced today they will expand their digital manufacturing
platform with the Cadent iTero digital impression system.
iTero, which uses proprietary
scanning technology to generate a virtually perfect impression in less time and
with less discomfort to the patient, enables a complete digital image of the
patient’s teeth to be captured without the need to
create a physical mold. iTero allows for superior accuracy with no distortion,
on-screen 3-D visualization in real time, greater patient comfort during the
impression experience and the elimination of costly remakes and adjustments.
“Since
1979, Ragle Dental Laboratory has specialized in providing their dentists with
quality products, fine craftsmanship, and outstanding customer service” said
Jerry Ragle, owner Ragle Dental Laboratory. “As
Ragle Dental Laboratory continues to expand we are investing in digital technology
platforms to improve the quality of our products. Our partnership with Cadent,
the leader in digital impressions, assures that our customers will be provided
with the most accurate restorations and eliminate costly remakes due to the inconsistency
of conventional impressions. Now with the added local model manufacturing facility
, Ragle will ensure the quick and reliable turnaround time our customers expect.”
“Ragle Dental Laboratory has been a partner with Cadent iTero since our
launch in early 2007. Ragles’ reputation as a leader in technology driven
dentistry and superior quality is key to our strategic laboratory partnership
growth,” said Kerri Sebring, director of marketing at Cadent. “This
partnership expands our manufacturing and validates the growing market for the
iTero system.”
