CAD/CAM Workflow Shifts

Key Questions

How much can CAD/CAM workflows reduce chair time for dentures and crowns?

CAD/CAM enables same-day crowns and digital dentures, guides, and RPDs, reducing chair time by 40-50%. This shift improves efficiency in clinics through lab integrations like Stomadent.

What is the ROI threshold for CAD/CAM crown production?

ROI is achieved at 30+ crowns per month with CAD/CAM workflows. This supports in-house production of RPDs and fixed partial dentures as shown in resources like the LuxCreo FPD Chairside Playbook.

How do tools like VidaWings improve CAD/CAM scanning?

VidaWings offer faster, more stable scanning compatible with implants and multi-unit cases. They enhance digital workflows for efficient chairside production of crowns and prosthetics.

Same-day crowns; digital dentures/guides/RPDs; LuxCreo/VidaWings integration cut chair time/re-scans; ROI 30+ crowns/month; maturing resins/scanners for prostho efficiency.
