Step 2
Impression scanned using Cubit360 at the practice

The dentist or dental nurse holds the impression in front of the Cubit360, creating the 3D digital model in a matter of seconds. Working this way significantly shortens the time between an impression being taken and a creation of a digital model.
This approach also automatically creates a digital record if it needs to be reused for copy dentures.

Step 3
Digital file is sent to dental technician

The dentist or nurse adds the patient’s details and prescription and instantly sends this information in the preferred file format with the Cubit360 scan to the dental laboratory. If in-house milling or 3D printing is available in the dental practice then this can be done instantly at the chairside.

Step 3
Impression scanned using Cubit360 in the laboratory

The dental technician holds the impression in front of the Cubit360, creating the 3D digital model in a matter of seconds.

Step 4
Technician designs the prosthesis

No need to scan the impression at the dental laboratory for edentulous patients. This removes the cost and ESG impact of collection or posting an impression from the dental practice to the laboratory. Physical transfer can distort or damage the impression. The time taken to transfer an impression to the lab can also lead to dimensional changes.

Step 4
Models poured

The technician creates the dental models and waits for them to set.

Step 5
Prosthesis sent to the
dental practice

After receiving the digital file, the dental technician creates the prosthesis using using preferred CAD software. Direct to digital approach means the impression has never left the dental practice.

Step 5
Upper, lower, and bite scans recorded using Cubit360 in under 3 minutes [1]

With no need for clamping, the dental technician holds and rotates upper, then lower models separately in front of the Cubit360 scanning them with a full six degrees of freedom to create the digital image. A bite scan can then be carried out without the need for articulators or additional clamping. The total time for the three scans is less than 3 minutes. [1]

[1] Clinical evidence shows current
average total time for upper + lower + bite scans is >16.5 minutes.

Step 6
The dentist fits the prosthesis

Because there is a strong possibility the conventional workflow results in inaccuracies, the dentist is always likely to have to make adjustments to the prosthesis to ensure it fits the patient perfectly.

Step 6
Hybrid scans created combining model & imp scans [2]

Due to the greater accuracy of the Mimetrik workflow, a dentist will spend far less time adjusting prostheses so they fit their patients perfectly.
