title: Cadent iTero's digital system for dental impressions: the end of trays and putty?
abstract: Because conventional dental impression methods often are imprecise and subject to guesswork, and because these methods often are uncomfortable for the patient and expensive for the practitioner, the Cadent iTero system was created to help reduce or eliminate those negative aspects of dental impressions. The system's enhanced visualization and real-time analytical tools enable clinicians to adjust measurements before completing the intraoral digital scanning of dental patients. And because the iTero technology lends itself for use with all restorative procedures and materials via a network of dental laboratory partners, implantologists as well as other dentists interested in quality production of restorations can lower costs while assuring precise and patient-pleasing results.
