The latest edition of Chairside Magazine (digital version) has just been posted, and in it is my new article on Digital Impressions For Implants Using Scannable Abutments.
Digital impressions using intraoral scanners are going to be the way impressions will be done in the future. They are here today, but due to the high cost of equipment and training, it is difficult for most dentists to afford them.
We have had digital impression systems since 1987 when the first Cerec machine became available, but we have not had the ability to scan implants the same way until recently.
The article explains the simplicity of the process using the Cerec red cam system of digital impressions.

And the link to the article is here:

If you are using a digital scanner or are planning to incorporate this technology in your practice, you may find this interesting.
