ST. PAUL, MN, USA: After debuting with a regional rollout, the 3M ESPE Lava Chairside Oral Scanner C.O.S. is now available to dentists nationwide. Additionally, the scanner’s upgraded software, Lava Software 2.0 for Chairside Oral Scanner, introduces several upgrades to the system, including easier anterior and full arch scanning, a faster scanning speed, and reduced processing times. The scanner’s full list of approved indications includes traditional PFM or CAD/CAM crowns, multiple adjacent units, inlays/onlays, 3-4 unit bridges, seated implant abutments and veneers.

“These advancements signify our commitment to the progression of digital impressions as the standard of choice for the impression-taking procedure,” said Wayne Roen, business director, digital restorative dentistry, 3M ESPE. “With our nationwide availability for dentists and our flexible outsourcing model for labs, we seek to provide easy access to the digital workflow and the efficiency that comes with it.”

Data shows that the precise restorations created with the Lava C.O.S. increase productivity and attract new patients to dental offices. Working closely with a core group of Lava C.O.S. users over the past year, 3M ESPE has enhanced the system based on user feedback to further increase its benefits.
