摘要
Some dentists face the dilemma of wanting to keep up with the technological advances in the profession while feeling unsure about embracing the digital impression technique and the related in-office milling of restorations. This column provides, on the basis of scientific evidence and clinical observation, a candid appraisal of the several impression options available to dentists: conventional impressions, digital impressions and digital impressions accompanied by the ability to mill restorations in-office. After considering all options, dentists must make the decision themselves concerning whether or not these concepts fit well into their practices at this time. All of the devices and techniques I have described here, including conventional impressions, are producing clinically acceptable restorations, but the digital option also can provide significant advantages for both dentists and patients.
