I bought a nice gaming PC for my 2 operative rooms, downloaded the software, watched some videos, and started scanning. It's really easy to use, my crowns fit better with fewer adjustments, and they cost less because they are made model-less and without impression materials. I will start to see a return on investment in less than 2 years and it makes my work more fun, and I can deliver better results. Armen puts on a 2 day course which is very helpful to refine your technique. Start with watching the videos, scan your employees, and then use it on patients. I considered buying an iTero Element 2 and I'm so glad I didn't. The Medit is smaller, as good or better, and it costs ~$25,000 less over the course of 5 years. Ongoing fees for other scanners are a joke. Medit keeps providing updates that make the software even better and there are no additional charges.read less - 3/29/2020

There is a Medit i500 distributor 5 miles from my office who agreed to lower their price to match Cad-Ray. So why did I purchase it from Cad-Ray who is 2000 miles away from my office. Because I did my homework. Because the post purchase training and support offered by Cad-Ray was unmatched by any other dealer I spoke with. Their library of online training videos that came with the purchase is without equal.

They would have to hire an entire separate staff to deal with all the thousands of types of insurances you have. For dentists: This is a great service to your patients because if you do not own a 3d x ray machine, you don't have to invest the $200,000.00, you can refer your patients here and cad ray will send you the digital files. You can also send them files to have custom surgical guides made. The folks who work here go out of their way to explain how things work.

I purchased a medit i500 scanner from my lap, they wanted to use it for courses which aren't happening now so he didn't want to be sitting with this expensive piece of technology sitting around. Before purchasing he and I both talked to the Nobel sales rep who assured me that everything would transfer over just fine. I was concerned about the learning curve and wanted to be sure that I would have tech support. I asked the rep directly and he assured me again that everything would be great and he would come do an in-depth training with me. Long story short, the sales rep had no clue what he was doing and put very little effort in to helping me once the purchase was complete. I asked him over the phone how to do a few things and his response was to call CAD-Ray. They explained that this happens, they would love to help me but asked that I purchase the service package. That was a game changer. Now all of my questions getting answered, their response time is amazing and their understanding of the machine is by far better then the Nobel reps. The scanner is great but combine that with their tech support and I feel like I'm set up for success. If I were to do this again, I would skip the headache of trying to save a little bit of money and purchase it through CAD-Ray.

The scanner itself works great, but make sure to contact them to get the minimum specs required for a laptop -- it will make a difference in how the scanner performs.
To make the scanner mobile, I purchased this cart from Staples: https://www.staples.com/Oklahoma-Sound-Premium-Audio-Visual-Presentation-Cart-40-1-2-H-x-18-W-x-30-D-Black-Ivory-Wood/product_932437.
Lastly, I purchased "3M Dual Lock Fastener" to keep the power module attached to the wand from falling off the cart. I carry the scanner between two offices, so I wanted something sturdy, but removable. (see in photos). The hockey puck shaped holder (comes with the scanner) works great for holding the wand itself.read less - 10/10/2019

The clash of the titans are in full effect. We are not smart enough to understand all the dynamics of patented software and hardware. While we let the manufacturers sort it out, we wanted to demonstrate how the new mandibular jaw movements are captured in Meditlink
Many scanners limit the number of scans you can take on a patient. This becomes cumbersome when you want to image pre-existing conditions, tissue scans for implantology, and other advanced needs
With version 3.0 in Meditlink software, launched in October of 2022, you can import or scan multiple models in the same patient chart
In this presentation we detail the implant suprastructure identification system where an existing abutment is removed and scanned extra-orally to capture the margins readily after the abutment is anodized
In April of 2022, Medit launched its wireless version of the i700 intra-oral scanner. We’ve been testing it ever since and are impressed with the range that it has. You want to be within 10 meters but more importantly you want to have clear line of site from the scanner to the hub. Much like anything else that is wireless, the further you are from the receiver the more difficult it is to maintain connection. In this video we demonstrate the distance at which you can maintain good connectivity.
After connectivity we tested its ergonomics. Some users get frustrated with tangled cords that are teathered to the laptop computer. This is a great solution and there is not much weight added to the device making it very easy to handle
In this video we show the layout of the battery pack, the scanner, and the dimensions of the battery pack. It is very easy to remove them and swap them with fully charged nodes.
In this video we had the chance to scan a full set of upper and lower temporaries. You can see all the great features of the scanner in action where we capture the maxilla and mandible in little time.
the patient was sedated and intubated for the case so we could not keep track of the bite. Instead, we imaged all 30 prepared teeth and used medit compare / design to digitally mount them to the wax ups. In the link provided you can download the models and relate them to each other […]
To access this page and view the premium content and support, you must either be a customer of CAD-Ray or purchase CAD-Ray Membership.
Medit Compare, now called Medit Design, now has a boolean cut feature that lets you extract a temporary shell model from wax up or mock up model and prep model for easy and quick designs without painful margin marking on multiple units
Medit’s software allows you to remove and pre-existing abutment and scan it outside the mouth. This allows you to find your margins without ever having to displace the tissue or reach hemostasis. Important matters to keep in mind with workflow
You must fill out the Rx form correctly and identify the abutment location
You must take the abutment scan at first in the right catalog box (upper jaw or lower jaw)
You must take the tibase / abutment outside the mouth and scan it under Abutment Registration Feature
In this video, we show how you to capture the healing abutment, the tissue profile after the abutment is removed, and then we image the scanbody while utilizing the AI feature of the Medit i700 to pick up all the data from the scanbody by matching the STL to the physical one during the scan
With second molars, you should always be on the look out for not just the jaw settling, if you remove the first point of contact, but also with the temporary step forcing the tooth to tip towards the distal, if there is no third molar to stop its tilting.
In this case, a doctor was trying to seat a second molar crown he had just prepped a few weeks prior. There was an open contact and he could not ascertain the reason for this. He did take a second impression digitally so we had the chance to merge the two models and look for discreptancies between the preps. This video shows how the comparison of those two steps in Medit Compare
Medit Orthodontic Simulation application allows you to segment out individual teeth from patient scans into an stl format that you can use as a template for smile design wax-ups. You have to watch the vide for it to make sense
We’ve digitized the Vita 3D shade guide to help with color identification. The same Medit scanner was used to scan the tabs and then this digital file was created. the assumption is that the same camera and light will hit natural dentition and the net effect will be the same. Use at your own risk.
Still not a single article published that says Medit ios is a good scanner ! its just been user driven for 3 years now.
it’s a good thing, because the world just changed. it is irresponsible to extrapolate research done outside the mouth on stone models or impressions into clinical significance with intra-oral scanning. There are parameters that are impossible to quantify like focal distance throughout the scan (unlike desktop scanners with known focal distances), the codes use to do the algorithms, the scan patterns, and also how light is treated by enamel, dentin, and restored materials.
i can’t believe people still use terms like trueness and accuracy when they really don’t even exist when you scan intra-orally. Like analog impressions, it is impossible to judge digital impression accuracy LIVE while it is happening.
Enter Medit! There are a few distinct ways to demonstrate an accurate scan live while it is happening. One way is to import a geometric shape that doesn’t alter its form while models are being rendered. That’s what’s demonstrated here. To my knowledge no one has ever studied this approach because no other camera lets you do this. i did see some publications where the authors attached objects like radiographic markers and after it was processed, they could measure that object and see if it distorted or not, but nothing at this level.
The following information is from the The American Board of Orthodontics. We preview how the Medit Ortho Simulation and Model Builder can satisfy their criteria
Medit has many free applications, including Smile Analysis, Orthodontic Simulation, and now, Medit Model Builder
Adding bases has been a feature for a while but as usual, Medit was quick to respond to its users’ request by expanding the base to including holes for drainage in printing and by allowing us to add support pins to the models. Many people who have printers, whether labs or clinicians, easily lose the proper vertical relationship when they print the models. By adding these pins, it allows you to index the models properly for any finishing work someone may need to do.
Advanced users are unlikely to use this feature for a single unit, but it comes in handy for oral appliances, particularly when they have advanced the jaw to open the airway. Oh, and this app is free and you can use it with models created by any scanner
Here is why the Medit i700 is the best intra-oral scanner on the market if you do any kind of implant restorations. There are so many options and tools that are leap years ahead of other scanners and their software. Medit can automatically identify the scanbody for you so you don’t have to do cartwheels and gymnastics to pick up all of the scanbody. This is in part 1 of the video.
For advanced users, we are sick of dealing with scanbodies and checking to make sure they are seated all the way and not binding on the tissue or bone, so we developed this technique of just scanning the fixture itself. It is not ideal just yet, but it will be the future, as the inside of the fixture is too shiny. i just used some old cerec spray to mask the topography for this demonstration.
oh, and really, no one else can show you how to milk that medit like cad-ray.com can. we use it well beyond what it was intended for and frankly you are wasting your time and money with most others. contact Frank DeLuca, Frank Weinstein, Laura Geney, Nick Statly, Damien Bonner, Jonathan Acker in the US or Milos Gedosev, Mariangela Di Nato, Roddy MacLeod in Europe for more information
This case shows how to relate models to each and maintain their relationships. It features the power of the Medit Compare app that lets you duplicate models, trim them, modify them to your liking. There are some very useful features in this app that can come in very handy
an important matter to remember is the “direction of travel” which is taking models from the Target folder and moving it to relate it to the Reference folder.
All models placed in each folder will maintain their relationships to each other when traveling to connect with the other models. Inverting models will also come in handy for advanced users. You can see the full video and download the case and design along here
This implant was initially placed at the crest of the ridge in 2012. its placement did not allow proper emergence profile and subsequently lost bone around the head of the implant by 2015. The lack of blood flow to the crest of the bone at the cortical plate certainly could have contributed to its demise. By 2015, the bacteria trap forced a new restoration to be placed which also ultimately lead to chronic inflammation due to improper contours. The implant itself was well integrated and the decision was made to remove the top 3-5 mm of the implant and treat it as a cast post and core.
You can see how the Medit i700 was used to mix intra-oral scans with a PVS impression to capture the fixture. Advanced users can utilize the stl of the implant itself to fabricate a post and core digitally.
The post and core and the emax restoration were returned for delivery. The emax was not crystalized until after the abutment was cemented and then it was tried in by itself to assure proper contours and contacts. The great feature of lithium dissilicate is that you can add contact and glaze at the same time, which was required here as the mesial contact was weaker than desired after some minor adjustments
