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.

First Cases In Israel with SimPlant and the Navigator System

That's it! We started to work. The first stock of the Navigator System Kits (Lab and Surgical Kits) is already here, and we started to perform cases with the leading doctors in Israel to create a knowledge database related to SimPlant and the Navigator System.

Click HERE for my Navigator webpage with info and cases.

This is a good time to THANK with all my heart all the persons who made this possible:

Preparations Stage (one of the most exciting years of my life):
- Dr. Philippe Tardieu (The main spirit behind all I do and (think) I know)
- Prof. Martin Gross (Knowledge and how to think)
- Dr. Dov Kischinovsky (Mentor and advisor)
- Dr. Alexander Gross (First SimPlant cases and infinite patience with me)
- Amnon Leitner (Panorama CT - i-CAT Israel)

Production Stage (Just started):
- Dr. Barry Marshak
- Dr. Moshe Goldstein
- Dr. Yuval Wind
- Dr. Hadar Better

And of course, Mrs. Fanny Gross, CEO - HA Systems Ltd., who gave me this great opportunity to work with the exceptional professionals above and with all our clients and potential future clients here in Israel.

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.)

A Real Revolution?

I often hear these questions:
- Is this a real Revolution all the issues around CT Guidance?
- Aren't you exagerating a little bit in order to promote just a new model of dental kits?

Let's see. This will happen to you the moment you will start using 3D Guidance Technologies (as SimPlant, The Navigator System, other 3D technologies):

- Use of your PC not just for emails and browsing the Internet (but a "real" use for your computer power).
- Detailed planning of all dental procedures before the treatment (press here for the advantages).
- Communication between surgeon, perio, prosthetic, lab, etc. experts via electronic media.
- The main medical-legal question will now be: Did you do everything possible to foresee and avoid possible problems? (as CT; planning using a dental simulation software, etc.).
- Sending plaster models via the Internet as 3D files.
- Dental planning software communicating directly with CAD/CAM equipment in the dental lab.
- 3D scanning claster models, bite impressions or directly 3D scanning the patient mouth (press here for samples).
- 3D "printing" or direct fabrication of models, stents, restorations, prosthesis, bars, etc. (press here for samples).
- Professional lectures explaining the procedures using 3D visuals (no more boring presentations).
- Explaining the possibilities to the patients in front of a PC display.

OK, now you see. We are talking about a Real Revolution in Dental Therapy, a whole new platform putting together until now individual technical advances; very similar to what happened to engineers and architects with CAD/CAM (Computer Aided Development / Computer Aided Manufacturing) a few years ago.
