Ivoclar Vivadent, Patterson Dental and 3Shape Announce Partnership
Ivoclar Vivadent and Patterson Dental have announced the availability of the PrograMill One milling unit in the United States for chairside
restorative production. As a wireless system, the PrograMill One is a self-contained unit that allows the mill to be placed anywhere within a
practice and does not require separate filtration or suction units. Integrated with the 3Shape Trios intraoral scanner and Trios Design Studio, this
partnership offers a seamless in-office CAD/CAM milling solution optimizing the quality, surface finish and margins of IPS e.max CAD.
Dental offices looking to incorporate digital technologies with in-office production capabilities can benefit clinicians by eliminating a visit,
optimizing aesthetics, fit and function while the patient is in the office, and provide the patient with same-day service.
