The Lava Chairside Oral Scanner (C.O.S.) from 3M ESPE has exceeded 100,000 clinical cases worldwide.
Richard Cordano, DDS, of Cordano and Spears Dental in Yuba City, CA, scanned the 100,000th digital impression, according to the company. He purchased the Lava C.O.S. in October 2011 and has already completed more than 97 cases using the system in combination with Trevi Dental Studio, which uses CAD/CAM dentistry, according to 3M ESPE.
Launched in 2008, the Lava C.O.S. features 3D-in-Motion technology, which allows the Lava C.O.S. to capture continuous real-time 3D video images that create a digital impression, sent directly to any laboratory, which is then used to produce the restorations.
