DENTAL LABS IN VIETNAM

In the past, dental clinics in Vietnam usually have a small place for manufacturing dental prostheses. However, the increasing demand for dental prostheses let everything start changing. Small places turn into big dental labs and invest in modern technology like milling machines, CAD/CAM systems to increase volume, decrease price, and improve quality.
This trend is also quickly approached by dental labs in Vietnam. Small workshops making teeth by hand turn into dental labs equipped with leading technology to meet domestic and foreign markets.

1. What is a dental lab?

Dental laboratories manufacture or customize a variety of products that periodontists and dentists use for their patients – including crowns, bridges, dentures and many other dental products.

Dental labs (working with direction from dentists and periodontists) create:

  • Full dentures for patients who are missing all of their teeth
  • Removable partial dentures or fixed bridges for patients who are missing only one or a few teeth
  • Crowns, which are caps for teeth that are designed to restore their original size and shape
  • Veneers that enhance the esthetics and function of the patient
  • Orthodontic appliances and splints to help straighten and protect teeth
  • Dental technicians work with a variety of materials including waxes, plastics, precious and non-precious alloys, stainless steel, a variety of porcelains and composites or polymer glass combinations. Many technicians acquire skill in the use of sophisticated instruments and equipment while performing laboratory procedures. It is important for the technician to help create tooth replacements that are both attractive and functional.

2.  Why is the dental lab important in dentistry?

Dental clinics always have a strong relationship with dental labs in creating quality and aesthetic prostheses provided to the customer. The dentist will provide images of the patient’s jaw, replacing position, chosen material, shade, and treatment method to the dental lab for further process.

Almost modern dental labs apply innovative CAD/CAM technology, printer, milling machine for tooth manufacturing.

The dental technician uses CAD technology to imitate and design teeth based on the patient’s jaw on the computer. Any adjustments on the computer so that the prostheses match the stumps and harmonize with overall teeth structure.

Scan finished files include two parts:

+ The design of the jaw and stump: The data will be transferred to the printer. The printers produce working jaw by the resin material.

+ The design of the crown: The data will be transferred to the milling machine. From here, the tiny crowns come out.

The prepared resin jaw, stump, and crown then comes to the dental technician. From here, they start complete shaping steps such as grinding, polishing, and staining

The important role of dental labs in the dentistry field is as follows:

- Modern technology helps the dental labs get a high aesthetic crown compared to traditional hand-made

- Can produce high volume in a short time, patients no need to wait a long time like before

- The development of dental labs promotes price competition and gives a chance for the patient can approach quality and aesthetic crowns at a reasonable price.

-  Dental labs always seek new materials and technology to improve the quality of the products. Thus, make a step forward for the dental industry

- Being the right hand of dentists, helping them deliver quality and aesthetic dental products to patients in the fastest time, thereby bringing more profit to the clinic.
