This includes all log files, error traps, screen capture images and database query results used to aid staff with product troubleshooting or product support activities. Introduction VA Boston Healthcare System is looking to procure two (2) Dental 3D PRINTERS AND SCANNERS for Jamaica Plain and Brockton. Intra oral scanners are of digital devices that takes impressions of oral structures. The digital file is then combined with the Dicom image files from the Conebeam CT for the dentists and dental lab technicians to digitally plan dental implant surgeries, make surgical guides (3D printing) or to design dental prothesis. The 3D printers are then feed the designed surgical guides or dental prosthesis and manufacture them using 3D printing technology. Background This procurement will help the dental service, replacing analog impressions reduces or eliminates the need to buy impression material and pay shipping costs. The digital workflow helps to reduce costs since the impressions don't need to be shipped to the lab and stored in the practice. A 3D scan eliminates the need to take alginate or PVS impressions, which are often less accurate and more uncomfortable than digital impressions. The 3D scanner digitally captures the structure of your teeth and gums through a small, hand-held, and radiation-free wand. Most people are worried about x-rays because of radiation, and they have a right to be. However, you should not be worried about the radiation emitted by a 3D x-ray machine because it is extremely small. These machines have even been cleared by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry to be used on children. Mar 1, 2020 Scope The scope of this procurement is a technology upgrade.
