SimPlant Study Club - Carlton Tel Aviv

Yesterday (31 Aug 2010) we had probably the best SimPlant event (Study Club) in the past years. Press HERE for the pictures.

Thanks to Dr. Barry Marshak who headed the meeting and to all the participants.

This is the way to go: To offer an open platform to share knowledge and experience (good and bad), by the SimPlant users themselves.

Question: Can this be done via the Web? Forums? Webmeetings? Video-conferences? I'm not sure. Maybe the answer is: You Can't. There is no replacement to people sharing the same interest getting together...

Press here for an example of the case presented by Dr. Ronen Dekalo, and here for the case from Dr. Ehud Teperovich.

iTero over SimPlant first case

Thanks to Dr. Ronen Dekalo (SimPlant owner) and Dr. Michael Abba (iTero owner) the first case combining SimPlant and an intra-oral 3D scan with iTero was made possible.

The Dental Industry Moving to Digital by Leaps and Bounds

With the introduction of new products offering Oral Scanners (Digital Impressions), the race for a "plaster-free" Digital Dental Platform has moved from the future to... now.

Components moving to be totally digital in the Dental Industry:

- Appointments, Accounting, etc. (already a few years totally computerized)

- CT / X-ray (already distributed mainly via CD from the CT Lab - or - local X-ray digital equipment instead of film)

- Volumetric (3D) Visualizations (already distributed from the CT Labs)

- 3D Implant Planning and Surgery Stents (SimPlant, NobelGuide, iDent, ILS, OsseoView, etc. - With SimPlant as number one in all reviews complimented with the Navigator System from BIOMET3i)

- Digital Impressions and Scanning (3M COS, iTero, D4DTech, etc. - No more trays and putty impressions - Samples)

- Digital Restorations Design (CAD - Nobel, Degudent, D4D, BIOMET3i, etc.)

- Computerized Aided Manufacturing (CAM - Models, crowns, bridges, stents, etc. - By stereolithography, sintering, milling, etc. - Nobel, Degudent, BIOMET3i, etc.)
