3Shape TRIOS Digital Impression System / Intraoral Scanner Blog from Kastle Mills Corp.: 3Shape TRIOS & Communicate Benefits for Labs and Clinics

Benefits for labs
Interaction enabled by the digital workflow enhances the dentist’s influence in relation to final results benefiting the lab, the dentist, and the patient.

TRIOS Inbox™ allows labs to connect to the many TRIOS® systems out there – offering new opportunities to expand their customer base. Digital delivery of impressions from clinics makes lab work easier and more efficient. There is no need to provide pick-up services of impressions, and designing can start right away. The digital impression can be used both for designing the restoration and, if needed, to produce a model in parallel. Efficient communication helps labs cement business relationships with their dentist clients.

Benefits for clinics
In clinics, both impression taking with TRIOS® and dispatching scans digitally saves loads of time and allows dentists to serve more patientsfaster. 3Shape’s direct-upload concept allows clinics to bypass cumbersome, time consuming, solutions that require sending digital impressions to special cleaning centers before they getto the lab. Efficient, exacting communication makes it easier to ensure optimal results for the patient and reduce the number of remakes.

TRIOS Inbox upgrade is part of LABcare upgrades
3Shape Dental System™ users in labs get the TRIOS Inbox™ update for their Dental System as an integral part of their subscription and they can immediately start receiving TRIOS® scans from the clinics after connecting.

Start today
TRIOS Inbox is available upon request today and will be included per default on all Dental System installations from February 2013. Communicate comes with 2GB free Cloud storage space, allowing the lab to work with approximately 100 cases simultaneously - which adequately covers the needs of most labs. Large labs, that may at some point need more capacity, can extend their cloud storage space at a very limited cost. Together, 3Shape Communicate™ and TRIOS Inbox provide unlimited connection and communication – there are no hidden pay- per-case and no pay-per-connection programs behind 3Shape’s solution – it’s an open digital freeway.

The typical Communicate workflow:

1.The dentist sends the digital impression plus order information to the lab – directly from the TRIOS interface after completing scanning.
2.The lab receives the order in their TRIOS Inbox, accepts the details and suggested delivery date or else returns its suggestions for changes.
3.The dentist receives a notice on his TRIOS cart stating that the order is either accepted or rejected and views the lab’s possible questions, suggestions, or comments.
4.The lab designs the case directly from the digital impression as specified in the agreed order information.
5.The lab sends the dentist 2D previews, smile-previews, a digital 3D model, questions and comments.
6.Both labs and dentists can add annotations to the 3D view that both access through the Cloud.
7.The dentist approves the design when satisfied and the lab can immediately start manufacturing the restoration
