I was at a course tonight promoting Nobel Biocare's new scanner (NobelProcera). I just wanted to share a little bit about this scanner.
The scanner has an open design which means it is not affected by light or heat like other scanners that need to be closed off. The scanning technology used is called "conoscopic holography". It can scan steep angles and deep cavaties found in impressions up to 85 degree angles. Most scanners are capable of only 40 to 60 degree angles. Accuracy should be very high and scanning times are short (don't know how short).
The cost is $45,500 (Canadian)
$36,500 - scanner
$9,000 - software
I will be attending a more intimate and hands-on course in October. I should learn much more at that time. I had to leave a little early so I didn't get to see if they actually scanned an impression.
