Packing a physical case
- Disinfect impressions and bite records.
- Put them in a sealed bag, separate from the order form.
- Label the bag with your clinic name and case reference.
- Pack firmly in a box so the impression cannot move or bend.
Sending intraoral scans
Include the prepared arch, the opposing arch and a bite scan, and send the order form details with the files.

Product pages list what the lab needs for each type of restoration.
Products and turnaroundGlossary
- Zirconia
- Zirconium oxide, a tooth-coloured ceramic used for metal-free crowns and bridges. Restorations are milled from a zirconia blank and then sintered.
- Monolithic zirconia
- A restoration made entirely from zirconia, without a layered porcelain veneer on top.
- Metal ceramic (PFM)
- Porcelain fused to metal: a metal framework with porcelain fired over it.
- Full metal (FM)
- A crown or bridge made entirely of metal, with no porcelain layer.
- CAD/CAM
- Computer-aided design and manufacturing. The restoration is designed in software and then milled or printed by machine.
- Laser sintered metal
- A framework built up from metal powder that is fused layer by layer with a laser, instead of being cast.
- Wax pattern
- A wax model of a framework. It is invested and burned out to make the mould for casting; at Denco these patterns can be 3D printed.
- Induction casting
- Casting in which the metal is melted by electromagnetic induction before being forced into the mould.
- Sintering
- Firing a milled zirconia restoration in a furnace, which shrinks and hardens it to its final size and strength.
- Intraoral scan
- A 3D digital impression taken in the mouth with a scanner, sent to the lab as files instead of a physical impression.
- Bite registration
- A record of how the upper and lower teeth meet, so the restoration is made to the correct bite.
- FDI notation
- The two-digit tooth numbering system. The first digit is the quadrant (1 upper right, 2 upper left, 3 lower left, 4 lower right), the second is the tooth from the midline (1 central incisor to 8 third molar).
- Working days
- The days the lab counts towards turnaround. Turnaround starts from the day the case reaches the lab.
