3Shape has launched its CAD software for post and core restorations, which includes dedicated post and core intraoral scanning with 3Shape Trios and CAD design workflows in Dental System 2013.
3Shape's post and core software features new scanning capabilities, 3Shape Scan Posts, and tools for capture and shaped and functional post and core designs, the company explained in a press release. Using this software, lab technicians can design all layers in a single digital workflow.
3Shape's post and core software can be used with 3Shape Trios digital impressions and 3D scans of gypsum models. Dentists with 3Shape Trios can start post and core cases in the clinic by capturing and sending input to the lab for direct designing.
Labs can design post and core cases for standard crowns, single-piece retained crowns, and anatomical single-piece retained crowns that are cut back for veneering.
