These dis- advantages have already been discussed in several publications and, therefore, I won’t discuss them here. The conoscopic holography technology of NobelProcera is based on a particular type of polarised light interference process that has been proven in several long-term trials and in other fields of industry. The main advantage over conventional CAD/CAM systems is that the cono- scopic system is based on collinear measurement, which means that the light source and the de- tector are not arranged at the same angle. The collinearity offers not only higher accuracy of measurement and sensitivity robustness against optical defects, but also the ability to scan a wide range of geometric figures and shapes, including cavities. Besides high accuracy, productivity in dental laboratories can be further increased by batch scanning. However,itistheprecisionofNobelProcerathat gives the ability to scan several implants or whole implants systems in a patient in order to realise supra-constructionsliketheNobelProceraImplant Bridge or the new NobelProcera Overdenture so- lutions. I think the sheer amount of applications cannot be achieved by any other system on the market right now, with the exception of high- precision industrial scanners. _Althoughawiderangeofmaterialsisavailable for almost all indications, the focus is often only onzirconiumoxide.Whatothermaterialsareavail- able, and what are the main differences between them?

Zirconium oxide is an excellent material for many clinical indications but not for all. Long- term stability is not the only decisive factor; the ¢ Subscribe now!
