Chaise Longue Side is the most advanced digital model of ChairSide that allows all dental practices to create in-house teeth and healing abutments in 75 minutes

The translation of ChairSide It's "chairside," but in dentistry, this term has for years referred to a prosthesis, crown, bridge, or inlay created directly in the dentist's chair. Before the advent of digital technology, a new tooth could only be created after three appointments spaced a week apart, to allow the dental lab time to create and deliver the finished product to the office. With the model ChairSide, Introduced in 1985, it has become possible to guarantee the patient the creation of the prosthetic device in a short time frame and within a single dental session.

Although it has obvious advantages in terms of time, the model ChairSide It also brings with it some challenges for the dental practice, such as the cost of technology, the need for constant investments to ensure the correct functioning of the machinery, and ongoing training for the Clinical Team and ASO Team.

Today IDI Evolution , through its Unit IDI Makers – the most advanced dental-prosthetic research, design, prototyping and production department on the Italian market – chooses to overcome these problems and evolve the concept ChairSide . This is possible through Chaise Longue Side , the protocol that revolutionizes the traditional model of this technology, allowing its use in all dental practices. This new, entirely digital, hybrid protocol significantly reduces costs and processing times, as the dentist only needs to perform an intraoral scan and finalize the printed tooth.

Specifically, with Chaise Longue Side With IDI Evolution, the dentist performs an intraoral scan of the patient within the first 5 minutes of the session, sending it with a click to the IDI Makers team. Once the scan is received, the IDI Makers department designs a prosthesis remotely in just 15 minutes, featuring all the features needed to adapt to the context detected during the scan, and sends the design file directly to the dental office's 3D printer.

Once the file is received, the studio's 3D printer will take about 40 minutes to reproduce, using an innovative, printable and durable material, even for permanent use, the artifact designed by the IDI Makers department, made up of a team of designers trained by Dr. Battistelli's AGC school.

At this point, to complete the work, it will only be necessary to proceed with polymerization, polishing and cleaning of the tooth, and then place it in the patient's mouth.
