Day 2 at CAD 2012 Conference

Day 2 has was GREAT!
Once again I was able to capture a lot of attention with the 3Shape TRIOS. The number one question today was 'what is the difference is between the 3Shape TRIOS and other IOS's on the market':


The Difference:

• TRIOS scan wand weighs a mere 0.7 kg
• TRIOS unit weighs 39 kg and easily transported in between rooms
• TRIOS uses confocal imaging and captures up to 3000 images per second (yes 3000 per second) with no spray!
• TRIOS also has a pre heat function for your scan wand to control fogging and moisture while capturing data
• TRIOS scan cart supports wifi and the only connection you will need to make is to a power outlet
• TRIOS supports bluetooth connection for a wireless mouse and keyboard if touch screen isn't your thing
• Import pre-op photos right into your Rx
• You can 'lock in' your scan data over the prepped area
• You can capture your scan with the overhead light ON! (you can see what you're doing)
• TRIOS scan data is sent direct to the lab of your choice! Open Architecture.
• TRIOS has no click/case fees

There is a difference... FASTER. EASIER. BETTER- its technology designed the way you work!

Photos of our booth!

Carlton Dental Lab has 'dressed to impress' this year at the National Conference. Check out their sleek new look:

Live from 2012 Canadian National Dental Conference in Saskatoon!

Our first night was a huge success! The 3Shape TRIOS was the 'hotspot' of the evening. Lots of excitement was generated throughout the conference about the much anticipated release of the 2nd generation digital impression solution TRIOS... I'm still on the floor and it's 11:30pm! Can't wait to get back to the hotel and post photos of our sleek booth!

Guess where I'll be tomorrow!?!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out and say how excited I am about tomorrow as I will be flying out to Saskatoon, Sk for the Canadian Dental Association National Conference!

It will be my first time is Saskatchewan as we debut the TRIOS to my fellow Canadian Dental Professionals. I will be joining the team from Carlton Dental Lab at their booth demonstrating the 3Shape TRIOS live!

FUN FUN FUN ... check back for updates and photos!

TRIOS® Training & the thing's that I have learned

TRIOS® Training with Lucas Walter from 3Shape A/S

Last week we had the privilege to have Lucas Walter here from 3Shape A/S for formal training on the 3Shape TRIOS®. As a team of dental professionals (CDA'S, RDT's, CDT's, and a DDS) Kastle Mills once again upped the ante! We didn't want to scan prepped models or our own mouths; we wanted real data, a real case done so we can time workflow and see if speed and accuracy is actually obtained as easily as the brochure states. So prepped the 36 for a full coverage e.Max Press crown; Check it out:

 

 

What I've learned....

The 3Shape TRIOS® is like no other IOS on the market. Its sleek design, ease of use, and touch screen will make the TRIOS® a statement piece in any office. It is light weight and easily maneuvrable in between operatories; The 'cart' is not bulky in any way and only weighs 39Kg. The scan wand is ergonomically designed and the first that I have used that has the weight of the wand evenly distributed for comfort and control. The scan wand only weighs .7kg! Every detail of the 3Shape TRIOS® has been carefully thoughtout and planned with easy of use and a streamlined workflow in mind. No fuss and no hassle is what the TRIOS® is about, it is literally a plug and go system.

2nd Annual Kastle Mills CAD/CAM Meeting

The 2nd Annual Kastle Mills CAD/CAM Meeting

Was a HUGE Success!

 

This year our meeting was held at the beautiful Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna, British Columbia. We had Dental Labs join us from across Canada to partake in this fun and educational meeting... with an exceptional view

(View from the meeting room)

 

 

The Topic of this year’s CAD/CAM Meeting was The Automation of Digital Dental Prosthetics

A presentation was given by Michael Weeks on leading digital techniques deployed to automate work flows in dental prosthetics.
A LIVE hands on demonstration of digital work flow from IOS Scan with the 3Shape TRIOS (from dental office), into 3Shape D700 (to lab for design), exported to Mill with the Roland DWX 50 5 Axis(to mill for fabrication) with a finished digital temporary all done within minutes on today's leading dental equipment.

The Key Objectives of our Meeting

1. To educate dental labs owners on the emerging value streams and how to navigate change in our industry
2. To educate dental lab owners on the economics of digital automation for dental prosthetics - the right work flows for maximum ROI
3. Empowering dental labs owners with hands on experience to demonstrate `ease of use' for this plug and go technology.
4. To have some fun with technology!

Be sure not to miss our 3rd Annual CAD/CAM Meeting in 2013!

Back in Action!

Hello everyone,

LOTS of exciting news to catch my followers up on:

1. 2nd Annual CAD/CAM Meeting!
2. I got Married on Saturday September 1st! (whooohooo)
3. Our formal training on 3Shape TRIOS by my favorite Mr. Lucas Walter!!

Now to get you all up to speed:

Our 2nd Annual CAD/CAM Meeting

took place on August 23rd and 24th in Kelowna. It couldn't have been a more perfect setting! It was held at the Harvest Golf Club and it was AWESOME!

This year we brought focus to solutions: solutions for your dentist, solutions for your lab, and solutions for your team. It all comes down to technology integration, workflow optimization, and communication. We were very fortunate to have Chris Cicero join us from Roland, he have a awesome presentation on inhouse milling, return of investment, and the benefits associated with bringing work back to the lab. Mr. Michael Weeks also presented on workflow, integration, and the 'digital revolution' that we are now experiencing in our industry.
Kastle Mills featured the 3Shape Trios, 3Shape D700, with Roland DWX 50 5 Axis Mill, for complete optimized workflow from intraoral scan, sending the complete case to the 'lab' (the 3Shape D700 TRIOS Inbox), designing the restoration, export to milling with the Roland DWX 50, to insertion. It was streamlined, accurate, and EASY!
