Why the Analog is the Cornerstone for Accuracy in Your Construction

When working in a digital workflow, specific analogs are needed for printed or milled models. Historically, creation of these models has always been outsourced. However, as technologies have matured, production has increasingly moved toward in-house printing, which further challenges the requirement for reliable analogs.

Are you looking to expand your offering with an analog specifically designed for 3D-printed models? 

An ever-growing flow of intra-oral scans is increasing the share of digital processes, while the volume of conventional impressions sent to labs is declining. 

With a digital workflow it is possible to free up time and space in laboratories, a positive trend that attracts dental technicians who also discover better business opportunities through this way of working.

A well-functioning digital analog is the key to a precise 3D-printed working model.

We offer two different business opportunities for sales of Elos Accurate, depending on volume and partnership:

Features

The Elos Accurate Analog for Printed Models has been developed to ensure a 3D-printed working model as the use of plaster models grows obsolete. It offers an easy and reliable workflow that works across multiple scanner technologies. 

You get a precision-installed analog that will cut into the model, making it less dependent on the accuracy of the printed model.

Why the Analog is the Cornerstone for Accuracy in Your Construction

When working in a digital workflow, specific analogs are needed for printed or milled models. Historically, creation of these models has always been outsourced. However, as technologies have matured, production has increasingly moved toward in-house printing, which further challenges the requirement for reliable analogs.

By listening to the needs of the market, we have designed and further developed products that solve most of the problems experienced on a daily basis. We offer two types of analogs: model analogs (MA) and analogs specifically made for printed models (PMA). MAs have been used for decades and they are still the first choice when working with milled models. PMAs have additional features, like self-centering installation and, if you wish, the ability to torque the prosthetic screw to 35 Ncm on the model.

In-house Printed Models Require High-quality Analogs

Working with in-house printed models often involves major issues with the small typography of the print socket where the analog is to be installed. The smallest inaccuracy and the analog will not fit in the socket and the model will need to be redone. A challenge at every level - patience, cost and time.

With our newest analog, specifically developed for in-house printed models, we have large and strong locking areas and a design that actually cuts through the model material for a safe press-fit installation in the model. Key to this feature is installation from the bottom of the model.

Are you working with various implant systems?

Working with different implant systems means being an expert on many different working methods with a variety of instruments and tools needed for the different approaches. This is expensive, time-consuming and increases the risk of errors.

Our model analog, which is installed with the same tools regardless of implant system, has been used and appreciated in the market for many years. It is characterized by a click sound confirming that it is installed in the correct position. 

Why choose Elos Accurate Model Analog (MA)

  • For plaster, milled and printed models
  • Audible click confirms correct installation in model
  • Single-use for predictable outcome
