In the heart of this new technological solution is the HoloDent system – a three-dimensional scanner, which creates an absolutely accurate three-dimensional image of the oral cavity. On the basis of the image the computer automatically builds a model of a dental prosthesis for any jaw.
Dentists no longer need to use plastic material to create a cast. All is needed to get a quality image is to place a miniature camera into the patient’s mouth. No other material is required.
Researchers note that if 3D-printer is involved in the process, the production of prostheses will be reduced even more. After scan the mouth a doctor will be able to start the installation of artificial tooth just in a few minutes.
