New technology takes pain out of major dentistry
A camera scans a casting or mold and sends an extremely high-resolution, three-dimensional image to the modeling computer Jan. 26 at Moody Air Force Base, Ga. The item needed is then created in a virtual environment and either transmitted to the Area Dental Lab, or created in-house on a precision milling machine. The $64,000 computerized milling system shortens the processing time to create crowns and bridges from six weeks to a couple of hours. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. Parker Gyokeres)
