Cerec InLab Design and Milling System
Ragle
Lab announces its acquisition of the Cerec InLab design and milling system.
What
is Cerec and what does this mean for you? Cerec was developed by Sirona Dental
Systems formerly known as Seimans Dental some 20 years ago. Cerec restorations
are designed by computer software and milled by computer driver milling burs.
Earlier units were very limited in their applications but today with Cerec InLab
the current materials available allow many of today’s all-ceramic restorations
to be designed and milled with InLab.
So what does all this mean to you? At last
a system versatile enough to meet every clients needs restoratively and economically
and precise enough to be offered
to you by Ragle Dental Lab. Versatile— high-end all-ceramic with choices
from Vident’s vast array
of CAD restorative materials to the new e.max line from Ivoclar.
Affordable— Ragle
Dental Lab can now provide our clients with a “menu” of
products ranging from a lower cost restoration to a high-end custom restoration
all with the same exact fit but detailed to you and your patient’s esthetic
needs.
The esthetic and financial expectation of today’s dental patient
varies greatly. You now will be able to meet those expectations by offering your
patient
a choice when needed from a minimal anatomical shaded restoration to a custom
color layered hand finished restoration, again with all the same exact fit.
How
is this possible? In the past (and we do mean past since CAD is the future)
we could not ask our technicians to build and finish ceramics at different levels,
think how confusing that would be and how inconsistent the end product would
be. But CAD milling is done by a machine, therefore different designs can become
a consistent or standard output.
Of course traditional PFM’s and full cast
crowns are always available and will continue to be as long as there are requests
and needs. Will metal be replaced
over time? Your guess is as good as ours, but you can be assured that CAD is
here to stay and will continue to grow as new materials are developed. Welcome
to the future, we are truly excited to be a part of it and equally excited in
offering it up to you! |
