Buen dia, los cursos en que idioma son.
Hello, all our courses are in English. Thanks for your question.
are these awards from top 3 to winner? thanks
Hey Pat,
The bolded one is our winner and the other 3 are honorable mentions in each category.
I have a Dentsply cerec system that is 10 years old. I am looking to upgrade. What do you think are my best options? I am interested in also scanning for removable prosthodontics. I work with clear correct too.What are your thoughts on a cordless scanner? Also, I want to able to use a stronger block than lithium disilicate. And lastly, I have also seen where a screen is placed on a cart with the scanner. What do you think about that. Thank you
Hey Ana,
If you enjoy the CEREC workflow and doing same-day dentistry, I would recommend getting a Primescan system.
If you do not have interest in same-day dentistry or do not do it anyway, you have many options these days depending on your budget and needs.
TRIOS3 are Medit i700 capable scanners in the ~20k bracket
Medit i600, Aoralscan 3 etc are even more economical.
Wireless scanners are great. Currently its only 3 companies – TRIOS, Carestream Dental and Medit that make them.
It’s not the sole reason I would buy a scanner, but it’s a nice option.
Stronger than lithium disilicate? My question would be why? are you having issues? Regardless, the next option would be zirconia.
I am a fan of cart scanners for tidiness and ease of use.
I hope that helps 🙂
