Throughout the world more than 140 million impressions are taken each year. Even the most experienced practitioner, using the best materials, can encounter difficulties when making an impression. Common problems include delamination, facial-lingual pulls, tearing at the margin, tray-tooth contact and stone model discrepancies.

The Lava C.O.S. helps solve the challenges dentists experience with traditional impressions and bring a wide range of benefits to doctors.

The Lava™ Chairside Oral Scanner C.O.S. from 3M ESPE can increase your productivity by reducing seating times and remakes. Doctors can strengthen their relationship with their existing lab by utilizing powerful tools unique to digital dentistry.

Traditional point-and-click digital technology has been around for more than 20 years. However, the Lava C.O.S. is the only system on the market that has elevated the process from merely taking pictures to capturing video. With Lava C.O.S. 3D-in-Motion technology, doctors can capture and simultaneously view continuous 3D video images to create a digital impression on a touch screen monitor. The dental industry is the first to benefit from this amazing breakthrough in digital imaging … the art of taking impressions in the dental office will never be the same.

Patients will benefit from a comfortable and interactive experience that ultimately results in a beautiful restoration. Doctors will appreciate an enhanced state-of-the-art image for their dental practice, a high level of patient satisfaction and improved productivity.
