The measurement taken digitally with an intraoral camera is instantly transferred to the computer environment and sent to the laboratory over the internet. In the laboratory, new teeth are designed in 3D, completely digitally, on the computer. The computer-controlled device processes pre-prepared ceramic blocks in 5 to 10 minutes, allowing them to take the shape designed on the computer.
Implants are first placed in a virtual environment
Digital technologies are used not only in tooth production but also in surgical procedures such as dental implants. is also used. The implants to be placed to replace the missing teeth are placed virtually on the digital model of the patient in the computer environment. In this way, the most ideal positions of the implants are determined in the virtual environment. Up to this stage, there is no intervention for the patient yet, everything proceeds as virtual rehearsals of the physicians while the patient is at home. The detected ideal implant positions are recorded and a guide plate that allows the implants to be placed in these positions is prepared by three-dimensional systems.
Digital smile design
For patients who want to have a better smile. The digital smile design concept can be applied. Physicians applying this concept first take photographs and digital measurements from their patients. Using computer software, the teeth that best suit the person's face are designed based on these photographs. Performing these analyzes and designs on the computer allows the physician to more comprehensively address many details that he or she may not be able to notice when face to face with the patient. This design is then converted into a model via a 3D printer and rehearsed by placing it on the patient's front teeth, as if placing a model. In this rehearsal, the patient can see the final version before it starts and can make changes if he wishes. Thus, the aesthetic expectations of the patients can be achieved.
In order to perform all these procedures, first of all, anesthesia needs to be applied, which is very familiar to everyone, that is, the teeth must be anesthetized.
