Delcam has extended its range of dental scanners with the launch of its DentSCAN scanner. The unit is slim, light, and accurate to 20 µm, making it ideal for use in dental laboratories that need to design restorations either for in-house production or for supply to milling centres for manufacture.
The DentSCAN scanner uses the latest generation of white-light 3D scanning technology to provide fast and accurate data capture. This is combined with precision calibration and articulation equipment to provide high-precision scans for the design of all types of restoration, from simple copings to anatomical crowns and bridges.

The Health Insurance Portability &
Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
originated in the early 1990s under
the Bush Administration, as a group
of healthcare industry leaders were
called together to discuss how
healthcare administration costs could
be reduced. The conclusion was to
increase the use of electronic data
interchange (EDI) within the industry.
Though signed into law on August
21, 1996, repeated delays in
development of the draft rules
prevented final adoption until
late 2000.
