Glidewell, a dental solutions company, has released newly designed scan bodies to simplify the digital impression process for implant restorations. The new Hahn™ Tapered Implant Titanium Scan Body and the Inclusive® Titanium Scan Body, which is available for most major implant systems, are produced from medical-grade titanium with features designed to streamline the restorative process.
Suitable for use in both the anterior and posterior, the new scan bodies feature a microtextured surface that does not require powder or sprays. They are also durable and can be sterilised, and their proprietary geometry is designed to enhance the accuracy of occlusal registrations.

Now, Glidewell has taken the next step by transforming the digital scanning process used in restorative implant dentistry. According to Grant Bullis, vice president and general manager of manufacturing at Glidewell, these new titanium scan bodies make things simpler, more convenient and affordable through the design and manufacturing of components that streamline implant technology. He adds that it will save the time and money of practitioners while facilitating a better image acquisition from the onset.
