Our Cubit360 space saving dental object scanner is set to revolutionise the way dentists scan impressions and dentures, and greatly improve workflow lab technicians.
Using pioneering AI technology developed by our clinicians and research team, Cubit360 solves the issues associated with intraoral scanning for the dentist, and help speed up the job of scanning in the dental laboratory.
Unlike previous generations of digital scanner, the Cubit360 is portable and can be used chairside in the dental practice if needed. The Cubit360 does not require the scan object to be clamped. Instead, the dentist can take an impression, and rather than posting it to the dental lab, the impression (or denture if a copy denture is required) can be scanned immediately in the practice and the scan sent directly to the laboratory.
In the dental laboratory, the Cubit360 offers an extremely quick and efficient method of scanning both impressions and models. Offering a full six axes of freedom to scan and the ability to scan without clamping the scan object means set-up time is hugely reduced and all scans, including articulated models can be carried out in a fraction of the time taken using conventional lab scanners.
Traditionally, dentists use a mechanical facebow and articulator to record and replicate facial landmark relationships to ensure complex restorative treatment will fit the facial profile (smile design) and not come under irregular forces in function, leading to failure.
Strapped to a patient’s head to locate the chewing plane, this type of equipment is cumbersome for the dentist and patient, and is very technique sensitive and time-consuming to use.
We have created a ‘virtual’ digital facebow using a simple camera with our neural network-trained software to record both how people chew and key facial landmarks.
This innovative approach replaces a complex and time-consuming step in the treatment pathway, saving dentists significant clinical time (and so money) and leading to the production of better fitting, better looking and more durable dental restorations
A bite registration records how the teeth meet so dentists can identify potential problems that can develop as teeth wear or move throughout life. These issues need to be corrected to ensure that function and appearance of the dentition is maintained.
To date this has only been possible by physically recording a patient’s bite with dental wax or putty and then articulating physical models of their teeth on a mechanical dental articulator.
We have developed patent-pending hardware and software that takes a short video recording and dental scans to calculate, then replicate a patient’s entire chewing cycle entirely digitally.
This will ultimately lead to dentists having access to more comprehensive information about how a patient bites, resulting in better performing, longer lasting restorative dental work.
