Time Efficiency of Digitally and Conventionally Produced Single-Unit Restorations

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the time efficiency digital chairside and labside workflows with a conventional workflow for single-unit restorations. specific sense defined as time, which has be spent dental office by professional performing relevant steps. A model interchangeable teeth on position 36 created. These were differently prepared, responding several clinical situations perform Different manufacturing techniques used: For workflows, CEREC Omnicam (CER) Trios 3 (TN/TI) used. workflow, using dual-arch tray impression technique, served control group.

Labside ranged from 9 min 27 s (CER_L) 12 41 (TI_L). Entire 43 35 (CER_C) 58 (TI_C). Pure 15 21 (CER_CW) 23 17 (TI_CW). Conventional 10 39 (CO) average. require similar amount is more consuming.
