Severance believes that utilizing the complete dental team-assistants, technicians, and clinicians-in the restorative cycle, helps maximize production for the practice. It also allows the clinician to collaborate directly with lab technicians and other services through the E4D ® Sky network. The E4D Dentist is a complete chairside CAD/CAM system for digital impressioning, designing, and fabricating metal-free inlays, onlays, crowns, and veneers in the dental office. The E4D ® Dentist System, as well as its associated products-E4D ® DentaLogic™ restorative design software, E4D ® Compass™ cone beam pairing software, and E4D ® Compare™ dental school evaluation software-were created with the goal of maximizing CAD/CAM ease of use and system capabilities. It gives the capability of reducing the number of dental visits and the time between appointments, providing more options for comprehensive care.”ĭ4D Technologies, a high-tech medical device company focused on 3-dimensional (3-D) digitizing applications, offers a suite of innovative CAD/CAM products and software. “CAD/CAM technology enhances convenience. The technology also offers the clinician flexibility in patient scheduling-whether that is during the same appointment, same day, or another day, says Severance. “CAD/CAM has reduced the number of variables associated with indirect restorations, providing more consistency in capturing, designing, and fabricating them case after case” says Severance. One of the biggest advantages of the use of CAD/CAM in the dental office and laboratory, according to Gary Severance, DDS, Chief Marketing Officer of D4D Technologies, is that the technology has put more control back in the dental professional’s hands.
