Description:
Efficient workflow is paramount to the success of a practice. It is important for each staff member, both clinical and administrative, to understand their role in treatment and to execute their tasks efficiently for this to occur. Continuous technological advancements in the field of dentistry are causing a shift away from traditional dental workflow, none more than the advent of the intraoral scanner and digital impressions. Traditionally, dental workflows involved taking conventional impressions, that were often times found to be uncomfortable by patients, with costly materials. In addition to the discomfort and cost associated with using these materials, time wasted in the process of sending the impressions to and from the laboratories created a significant set back. Digital impression systems have helped to eliminate these issues, while also improving clinical efficiency.
