Yes. Modern dental bridges can be designed using digital intraoral scanning instead of traditional impression materials in suitable cases.
An intraoral scanner captures detailed digital information about the prepared teeth, neighbouring teeth, bite, and surrounding structures. The digital data can then be transferred to the dental laboratory for computer-aided design and fabrication of the bridge.
Digital workflows can offer several advantages, including:
- Comfortable scanning without conventional impression material.
- Detailed digital records of the prepared teeth.
- Efficient communication with the dental laboratory.
- Computer-aided bridge design.
- Improved workflow and documentation.
- Easy digital storage of the patient's dental records.
Digital scanning does not replace the need for proper clinical examination and tooth preparation. The accuracy of the final bridge also depends on clinical technique, scan quality, preparation design, CAD-CAM workflow, and laboratory standards.
At Dr. Bharat Katarmal Dental & Implant Clinic, Jamnagar, digital dental workflows may be used for suitable crown and bridge cases to support precise restoration planning and fabrication.
