1994 A Clinician s Guide to Digital Dentistry Dental restorations through CEREC Connect with Absolute
Dear Doctor, Absolute Dental has specialized in fixed and implant restorations for over two decades. During this time most all of the prosthetics manufactured have been fabricated based on physical impressions. This technique causes multiple unnecessary, arduous and unpredictable lab processes. With the latest advancements in digital technology, those days are rapidly coming to an end. Over the last decade, digital chairside impression taking has proven extremely accurate but integrating the clinical data into the lab processes has been a challenge. The purpose of this services manual is to show the value a digital impression unit now offers the clinician. No longer is this simply a nice to have but more so this has become a must have! The comprehensive integrated workflow Absolute now offers through Sirona Connect gives the clinician a faster turnaround, a more predictable result and a stronger restoration at a very economical price point. The era of digital dentistry is finally a reality. Let Absolute be your digital partner on this journey. Conrad J Rensburg ABS LUTE DIRECT CONNECT
