Abstrakt: Historically, traditional elastomeric impression techniques for indirect fixed procedures have presented challenges for the operator, laboratory, and patient. Recent digital impression unit technology offers a compelling alternative to elastomeric impressions. The iTero system applies parallel confocal imaging to create a virtual impression that can be easily captured, edited, and uploaded electronically to the dental laboratory. Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technology is applied to the virtual impression to create an unlimited number of identical polyurethane models. This case report is presented from the perspectives of the clinicians and the laboratory technician using an iTero system to treat a left mandibular second premolar with a resin composite inlay.
