Pittman Dental Laboratory: Pioneering Innovation in Dental Technology

Posted by Bill Williams on Jul 1, 2024 6:00:00 AM

At Pittman Dental Laboratory, we're driven by a relentless pursuit of progress. For over 50 years, we've been at the forefront of research and development in the dental industry, crafting solutions that elevate the quality of patient care. Our commitment to innovation extends beyond materials and techniques; it's about creating entirely new possibilities for dentists and their patients.

One such example is ScanCode®, a revolutionary product that is transforming the world of implant dentistry. Traditionally, implant dentists have relied on conventional round healing abutments. While these serve their purpose, they leave behind a round opening in the gum tissue. This can lead to a number of challenges, including aesthetic concerns and difficulty achieving optimal implant positioning during the restorative phase.

ScanCode® takes a groundbreaking approach. This innovative healing abutment features an anatomically contoured design that actively reshapes the gum tissue during the healing process. The result? A natural-looking emergence profile that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding soft tissue.

But the benefits of ScanCode® go far beyond aesthetics. The design incorporates interproximal concavities that provide crucial support for bone or bone grafting material. This translates to improved long-term stability and a more predictable foundation for the final restoration.

The advantages of ScanCode® extend to every member of the dental care team:

  • Implant Surgeons: Experience greater control over implant positioning and achieve optimal emergence profiles.
  • Restorative Dentists: Benefit from a pre-shaped emergence profile that simplifies the restoration process and enhances long-term outcomes.
  • Pittman Dental Laboratory: Work with a foundation that facilitates a more natural and aesthetically pleasing final restoration.
  • Patients: Enjoy a superior aesthetic outcome and potentially experience a more comfortable healing process.

ScanCode® is just one example of how Pittman Dental Laboratory is pushing the boundaries of dental technology. We believe in the power of innovation to transform patient care, and we're dedicated to developing solutions that empower dental professionals to achieve exceptional results.

If you're looking for a partner who shares your commitment to excellence, we invite you to explore the full range of innovative products and services offered by Pittman Dental Laboratory. Together, let's shape the future of a healthier smile. For more information about ScanCode®

Dental implants are a popular and effective choice for replacing missing teeth. However, the success of dental implants depends on a number of factors, including the healing process of the tissues around the implant. Traditional healing abutments are often round or cylindrical in shape, which can lead to challenges in achieving optimal gum tissue contouring.

Unveiling the Marvels of Anatomical Healing Abutments: A Scan Above the Rest in Implant Surgery

Posted by Bill Williams on Dec 4, 2023 6:00:00 AM

As the field of dentistry continues to evolve, technological advancements play a pivotal role in enhancing patient outcomes and streamlining procedures. Among the breakthrough innovations, ScanCode, the anatomical healing abutment emerges as a game-changer in implant surgery, offering a unique blend of benefits that transcend traditional approaches. What sets it apart is not just its anatomical design but also its scannable nature, paving the way for a more efficient and precise implantation process.

At the core of ScanCode's advantage is the anatomical healing abutment's ability to mimic the natural contours of the patient's oral anatomy. Unlike conventional healing abutments, which often feature a generic design, these anatomically shaped counterparts provide a customized fit, promoting optimal soft tissue healing and esthetic integration. This tailored approach contributes to reduced patient discomfort and faster recovery times, ultimately enhancing the overall patient experience.

Furthermore, the scannable nature of ScanCode elevates the precision of implant surgery to unprecedented levels. Integrating seamlessly with advanced scanning technologies, such as intraoral scanners and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), ScanCode enable detailed and accurate digital impressions of the implant site. This not only simplifies the treatment planning process but also ensures a perfect match between the implant and the final restoration, minimizing the margin for error.

The benefits extend beyond the chairside experience. The scannable feature of ScanCode facilitates efficient communication between dental professionals and Pittman. Digital impressions captured through the anatomical healing abutment can be easily shared, enhancing collaboration and expediting the production of prosthetic components. This not only saves time but also reduces the need for physical impressions, contributing to a more eco-friendly and patient-friendly practice.

In conclusion, ScanCode, with its dual advantages of anatomical precision and scannability, marks a significant leap forward in the realm of implant surgery. By prioritizing patient comfort, accelerating recovery times, and streamlining the digital workflow for dental professionals, ScanCode is poised to redefine the standards of care in implant dentistry. ScanCode stands as a testament to the relentless pursuit of excellence in dental innovation that Pittman Dental Laboratory strives for on a daily basis.
