Two clinicians share how 3Shape’s TRIOS increased their accuracy and workflow efficiency, while also promoting more confident diagnoses and increased treatment acceptance
No matter how big or small, every journey begins with the first step. In the case of a digital workflow, that first step for many dentists is the purchase of an intraoral scanner. And even though Alan Pressman, DMD, and Derek Draft, DDS, DABFO, practice in 2 different countries, their digital journey began with 1 product: the 3Shape TRIOS intraoral scanner. Both dentists purchased their TRIOS scanner several years ago, and today, neither can imagine a workflow without it.
“I’ve had my TRIOS for almost a decade now, and back then, my lab was already using some of the TRIOS technology and recommended that I look into the TRIOS scanner, and so we decided to invest in that,” shared Dr. Draft, who practices in Grandville, MI, and Quebec, Canada. “From the start, the learning curve was relatively easy, the software was intuitive, and my staff and I found it easy to use. Everyone just jumped on board!”
Dr. Pressman, who practices in Spring Valley, NY, shares a similar experience about how his digital journey began with TRIOS. “I had worked in a practice that had a scanner, but it required a powder spray to be applied to the teeth before scanning, and I found it difficult to use,” he shared. “A few years later, I was taking a course at a conference where there was a demo of the TRIOS. I bought it right there at the conference!”
Two-Word Takeaway
For both clinicians, the value of the TRIOS intraoral scanner can best be described with 2 words: speed and accuracy. And both agree that especially in today’s hectic dental workflows, those 2 characteristics can be the deciding factors between a practice that provides confident diagnostics along with fast, predictable, and durable restorations, and one that can claim none of the above.
