Scan posts

As the CMT Scan Posts is the original digital Scan Post solution it has 10+ years of proven performance together with the 3shape Trios® and it has proven as reliable solution for digital scanning for Post and Core.

The solution saves time by allowing lab technicians to design all layers in a single digital workflow.

The CMT Scan Posts facilitate accurate capture of the Post and Core restorations’ positions and depths. Scan Posts are applicable for both intraoral use in the clinic and for model scanning in the lab. CMT Scan Posts are autoclavable, and they come in various shapes and sizes to support drill systems from major suppliers and the portfolio is always expanding.

With the use of radio opaque material, CMT scan post can be detected and the placement controlled using x-ray and with testing for 100 reuses, the CMT scan posts is a reliable solution for reuse, optimized for scanning by precision machining of a select biocompatible polymer ensures optimum scanning results through our the product life.

Laser engraved identification ensure easy identification of the correct scan post, both before, during and after treatment.

CMTs Post and Core solution can be used with 3Shape TRIOS® digital impressions and 3D scans of gypsum models. Dentists with 3Shape TRIOS® can kick start Post and Core cases in the clinic by capturing and sending highly reliable input to the lab for direct designing. A special dual-scan workflow using CMT Scan Posts ensures accurate capture of true depths and positions of the root canal. If gypsum models are the input source, lab technicians simply insert CMT Scan Posts in the model before scanning.

In the lab, technicians align the captured Scan Posts and let the software calculate positions and depths automatically. By first designing the anatomy layer and applying dedicated Post and Core modeling tools, technicians can create optimally shaped and functional Post and Core designs that are matched to the clinical case and ready for manufacturing through wax print & cast, milling, or laser sintering.

Labs can design Post and Core cases for standard crowns, single-piece retained crowns, and anatomical single-piece retained crowns that are cut back for veneering.
