Larry C. Young, D.D.S., of Jacksonville, FL, recently submitted the 250,000th case utilizing Cadent's iTero digital impression technology, the company announced. The milestone case included preparations on teeth #19 and #20 and was sent to PDR Laboratory in Jacksonville for fabrication of the restorations.
More than 1,700 dentists in 21 countries use iTero to capture 3D images for all types of dental restorations, including crowns, bridges, and cosmetic veneers, according to Cadent.
Dr. Young takes between 20 and 25 iTero impressions per month, for a wide range of clinical indications. "It's a real 'wow' factor when our patients receive an iTero impression for the first time," he said. "They're impressed at how easy the procedure is, compared to having to sit with impression material in their mouths for some time. Overall, it conveys an image of our practice as being very cutting-edge."
