SensAble Dental Lab System: A New Dimension to Digital Restorations?

senseable.jpgHas anyone had any experience with labs that are using the SensAble Dental Lab System, an integrated solution to scan, design and fabricate common dental restorations?

Supposedly, it is the first integrated digital solution to support the production process for partial frameworks, as well as crown and bridge substructures. The solution uniquely incorporates “3D virtual touch” technology so that lab technicians can “feel” the on-screen image — and work as naturally and directly with a computer-based system as they do when using traditional hand-waxing techniques.

Editor’s Note:
The SensAble Dental Lab System is a product from SensAble Technologies and more information is available at www.sensable.com and sensabledental.com.

According to the company, the SensAble Dental Lab Systems:

“Consists of three components that have been tightly integrated to produce accurate, consistent results through scan, design and fabricate. Its software and user interface enable fast, flexible 3D design and modeling; provide case management tracking; and ensure a simple, reliable workflow for producing precise results. In-depth system integration, along with field-proven techniques for investing and casting, ensure a streamlined workflow and consistent results throughout the entire process. Components include:

• 3D Scanner. This creates an extremely accurate digital file from a plaster positive (or “stone”), which is made from a patient impression.
• 3D Modeling and Design System. The design station includes SensAble Dental Lab System software for designing digital wax-ups, as well as SensAble’s patented PHANTOM® Desktop™ touch-enabled device, a high-end computer workstation and monitor. The design software provides a digital approach to traditional steps in the design process, speeding the design process and delivering consistent, digital results.
• 3D Resin Printer. Once the digital wax-ups are complete, the system automatically creates files for the production of resin patterns. These printed partsare then sprued, invested, and cast in metal using traditional methods and materials.”
