Case Study: Reducing Chairtime at Baer Dental
For a dentist running a general practice, speed is of the essence as reduced chair time means reduced costs and improved patient comfort. Dr. Christopher Baer, DMD, of Baer Dental, a general dental practice in Lone Tree, Colorado, has been printing temporary restorations with Premium Teeth Resin and Form 4B.
Dr. Baer has found that 3D printing temporaries on Form 4B saves time and workflow steps, especially compared to an injectable technique. Dr. Baer says, “When we're taking time to print something like full arch temporaries directly to the prepped margins — you just print and deliver it, typically without adjustment. If you're doing an injectable technique, there is a lot of time spent on adjustments and trimming, you might go back and forth to the lab to try to fine-tune stuff. But when it's printed, you basically pop off the supports and it's done. It delivers into the mouth and you can try it in and then you're going directly to cementation.†Printing an appliance with a perfect fit ultimately decreases chairtime, for time and cost savings and an improved patient experience.
Recently, Dr. Baer had a patient with a missing onlay. It was a Friday afternoon, and the patient was scheduled to fly out of town the next morning.
“Using Premium Teeth Resin and the Formlabs Form 4B 3D printer, we were able to quickly 3D print a robust temporary restoration in just 16 minutes. The patient was out the door in about half an hour, completely satisfied with this high-tech solution. This quick turnaround wouldn't have been possible without the speed of Form 4B and the effectiveness of the Premium Teeth Resin.â€
