By The Numbers: Chairside Milling Trends
The number of same-day restorations produced chairside has increased dramatically in recent years, thanks to an efficient combination of intraoral scanning, simplified design software and a growing selection of restorative materials. Let’s look at these trends using industry reports and data from glidewell.io™ In-Office Solution analytics.
