title: [Digitized impressions: myth and daily reality].
abstract: The digitizing of impressions, or models made from them, opens, in the                               same way that digitized 3D X-rays did, new horizons for practitioners                               in the management for their offices, in their interactions with                               patients, and in their shared work with dental laboratories. Mastery                               of digitized models improves the efficiency and reinforces the quality                               of dental treatment through the new perspectives digital analyses                               provide. Finally the maintenance of records is greatly simplified in                               far less space while still respecting all pertinent legal                               requirements, thus assuring total suitability for all current                               regulations.
