Laboratory Design Service: Efficient cooperation between the laboratory and the dental practice
With the new "Laboratory Design Service" feature of the AG.Live cloud platform, the laboratory can offer dental practices an extended range of services and take over the design of restorations.
The practice provides the laboratory with the case data together with the required intraoral scans via the AG.Live platform. The laboratory imports all the data, including the case files, into the Ceramill Mind CAD software and creates the design. Then, the file is transferred back to the practice. There, nesting and the subsequent milling process can be started directly.
Options for Same-Day and Single-Visit-Dentistry
With good timing, this creates perfect opportunities for high-quality same-day or even single-visit-dentistry with lab-based design. This has benefits for both parties. The practice can draw on the expertise of the laboratory and focus entirely on treating the patients. This also allows capacity bottlenecks to be avoided.Laboratories can, in turn, add an innovative capability to their service portfolio while, at the same time, being a part of the practices' in-house process - something that, in the past, was restricted only to the large design service companies.
3rd Party IOS-compatible
The requirements for the Laboratory Design Service are quite simple. To use this feature, all that is required on the part of the laboratory is a Ceramill Update to Version 4.4. For intraoral scans, it is possible to use scans performed with the Ceramill Map DRS as well as those created with intraoral scanners from other manufacturers.
