Two newly launched digital dentistry tools offer AI technology for easy crown design and a convenient, chairside milling option for faster, more precise in-house restorations, ,For many dentists, taking the first step into a digital workflow can feel like climbing Mt. Everest. Throw in artificial intelligence,(AI), and it might seem as daunting as climbing that mountain during a swirling blizzard. After all, between running a busy practice and caring for patients, many dentists have little time to explore the possibilities of digital dentistry, nor learn to be CAD/CAM experts. But the advent of AI effectively eliminates all those worries and makes the transition to a digital workflow smooth and complication-free.,
,From Axsys, Dentbird Crown is an AI- and cloud- based dental CAD designer for automatic crown design that eliminates time-consuming and costly software downloads., ,Just Scan & Go!,All that’s needed is a patient’s 3D scan data and the system automatically finds the tooth that needs the crown design, determines a margin line for the prosthesis, considers surrounding teeth, and then creates the crown design—in 3 clicks and about as many seconds.,“With Dentbird Crown, dentists don’t need to waste time learning CAD/CAM,” said Steve Braykovich, President and CEO of Axsys Dental.,“After using an intraoral scanner, they add the data into Dentbird Crown, and in a few seconds, it will design the crown.”,
After the Design, It’s Time to Mill ,
,Aware of the noise and space concerns found in many dental offices, Axsys recently launched the Versamill Chairmaxx, a quiet and compact chairside milling machine that features an open system design. Chairmaxx offers a user-friendly touch screen, complete accuracy—up to less than 20 micrometers—and thin connector lines to reduce the post processing time.,Noise-shielding with a conveniently smaller foot- print than most milling machines, Versamill Chairmaxx is perfect for space-challenged practices and well- suited for milling glass and hybrid ceramics, zirconia, and polymethyl methacrylate. It features a flexible voltage of 100–220 VAC, built-in air compressor, wa- ter tank, dual 100,000-rpm spindles, and uses blocks to produce single crowns and bridges, inlays/onlays, and veneers in just 8 to 15 minutes., ,Two Cost-Effective Solutions
“Dentbird Crown is cloud-based and transactional based—there’s no investment in software or high- power computer workstations typical of traditional dental CAD software products,” Braykovich ex- plained. “Versamill Chairmaxx features precision design, thin margins, and a dual-spindled operation for speed, so patients won’t wait long for crowns.”
