CASE STUDY USING MODEL FREE WORKFLOW

Onlay and crown placement for the lower right quadrant

Benefits of a digital workflow according to Dr. Watt

The case demonstrated a seamless digital workflow between surgery and laboratory with increased patient comfort and accuracy.

Little occlusal adjustment was needed in the case despite it being a model-less workflow.

For Dr. Watt, using a scanner means that if an area is lacking definition, he can simply delete and rescan the area – a conventional impression would require replacing some cord and retaking an impression.

Dr. Watt believes the digital workflow facilitates much better patient communication and allows the patient to visualize their treatment in full color.
