Dec 9, 2024 | us.dental-tribune.com | Iveta Ramonaite

Dr Choi, can you tell us about your experience with Primescan 2? How has it improved your practice’s workflow and patient care? Primescan 2 is a fantastic piece of technology that we’ve recently integrated into the clinical workflow at our practice. I was initially sceptical about the ability of a new scanner to improve our clinical workflow, especially since we already use four other scanners daily.

Dr MacDonald, what motivated you to transition to Primescan 2, and how has it transformed your workflow and practice efficiency? When I started my practice four years ago, I wanted to embrace technology fully. I began with an intra-oral scanner and quickly moved to Primescan AC and a full CEREC system. We soon realised how powerful it was to show patients their scans—this greatly improved patient education and treatment acceptance.

These challenges include the gender pay gap, work–life balance and equitable access to resources such as loans and opportunities. Females also typically live longer, so resources for additional income should be considered.
