Jensen Dental releases a guide for implementing CAD/CAM systems in your lab

Jensen Dental has released an article reprint that outlines the key decision criteria dental laboratories should consider when selecting and implementing a CAD/CAM system for producing restorations.

The article reprint can be downloaded for free.

The article, titled "Critical Considerations for Implementing a CAD/CAM Strategy," is authored by Don Cornell and Greg Harris and originally appeared in The Journal of Dental Technology. The article lists a wide range of business and technical criteria that dental lab owners and technicians should take into account before making the transition to digital dentistry, including:

• The pros and cons of outsourcing digital dental restorations vs. producing them in-house

• Why price should not be the sole consideration when choosing a CAD/CAM system

• The facts surrounding "open" vs. "closed" systems and what that means to your business

• Why a validated and integrated CAD/CAM system can save you time, money and frustration

• How vendor support and product education play an important role in determining success with CAD/CAM

• The wide range of innovative materials now available for dental CAD/CAM that deliver highly esthetic restorations consistently and profitably
