The Lava chairside oral scanner (COS) from 3M ESPE eliminates many manual steps involved in creating a restoration. The technology produces a more accurate restoration because the


three-dimensional image is produced instantly, allowing the dentist to make any adjustments necessary to the prep site in real time. The Lava COS is able to take an accurate digital


impression of the teeth, instantly uploading the image and allowing the dentist to make any corrections or changes to the patient's prepped dentition. This process eliminates the risk


associated with a traditional physical impression changing size or shape during transportation, which can lead to an inaccurate final restoration. READER RESPONSE NUMBER 55 RIGHTS AND
