The new digital dimension.

With its Lava™ Chairside Oral Scanner C.O.S., 3M ESPE rounds out its portfolio with a digital
impressioning solution. Digital imaging replaces physical impressioning with trays and
impressioning material. The dataset from the scan is forwarded directly to an authorized
laboratory for further processing and production of the restoration. It just can’t get more
accurate and reliable!

Making an impression …

… a challenge for dentist and lab alike.

Throughout the world more than 140 million impressions are taken
each year. Even the most experienced practitioner, using the
best impression 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. With the Lava™ Chairside Oral
Scanner C.O.S., these problems become past
history

With its combination of high-performance hardware and software as well as integrated “3D-in-Motion” technology, the Lava™
Chairside Oral Scanner C.O.S. is the digital solution for one of the most demanding processes in your practice.

The Lava™ C.O.S. offers outstanding impression precision and thus has a positive impact on your productivity: time-wasting work

And only 0.5 % of overall restorations based on a digital impression with the Lava™ C.O.S. need to be redone because of their
marginal fit.*

At the same time, your patients will value the uniquely comfortable treatment – a definite plus for your practice’s image.
The laboratory benefits as well, since the usual sources of errors can be considerably reduced.
