Beginning April 15, the CS 3600 intraoral scanner from Carestream Dental will be compatible with ResMed’s Narval mandibular repositioning device (MRD) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring treatment.
The CS 3600’s ability to take accurate digital impressions helps improve the fit of these oral appliances, according to a press release. The scanner’s acquisition software has features specific to sleep medicine, such as the Multiple Bite Capture option. Users can capture and view as many as three different bite registrations, such as normal, open and protruded. Clinicians can then export the bite matrix files with the dataset to ResMed and complete the online order form on the “Narval Easy” platform for fabrication of the Narval appliance.
The fully digital manufacturing process is said to improve the appliance’s fit and reduce the level of adjustments needed chairside.
