CADCAM/SCANS
CADCAM
We currently have two CADCAM systems in the lab:

Sirona inlab - used to scan models and receive intra-oral scans from Sirona Connect. Our Sirona MCXL milling machine is used to produce small zirconia frameworks, ti base restorations and emax crowns. These restorations are all milled in-house.

3-Shape - used to scan models and receive intra-oral scans from a variety of sources, as well as emailed stl files. 
Using the 3-Shape software, we can design monolithic zirconia crowns (full contour), larger zirconia bridges, custom abutments and implant chrome frameworks. We use external milling centres to produce restorations designed on the 3-Shape.

The scans provided by the 3-Shape scanner are amazingly accurate (Accuracy (ISO 12836/ implant): 7 μm/10 μm) and the software enables us to recieve intra-oral scans from a number of surgery scanners:
  • Trios
  • iTero
  • Emailed .stl files

We Can Supply You with Scan Bodies
 We are happy to supply you with intra-oral scan bodies for your chosen implant system. This can help lower the cost of the case as lab analogue cost are reduced.

Scan Procedure:

Trios - please contact us so we can add you as a contact through the 3Shape communicate portal. Once we have set this up you can send scans over to us through the Trios system.

iTero - simply select SBO as your manufacturing lab. 

Email - For users of other sysytems, select stl as your file output and send the files to scan@sbodentallaboratory.co.uk. If your files are too large, use Wetransfer to send us your scans.
