Synopsis:
For some time now, dentistry has been progressing towards a more digital experience. Things like online marketing, registration, practice management systems, interoffice/patient communication, radiography, caries detection, intraoral cameras, surgical guides, shade taking, (you get the idea) have been moving to digital. Obstructive Sleep Apnea class II medical device manufacturers like ProSomnus have been digital since inception. In fact, analog impressions and bite registrations had to be digitized prior to making your patient’s appliance. “Goop is Dead”, long live intraoral scanning! Especially for expensive PVS full arch impressions for dental sleep medicine, scanning makes great sense. It shortens the workflow, is more accurate, saves time, saves consumable expense and patients love it. Mark will describe his transition to IOS using the Medit i500 for DSM and how it streamlined his practice.
