No one has been able to combine streaming capture, full color and powder free. The Omnicam from Sirona is a major step forward and there is no doubt that anyone using the Omnicam or considering getting into CAD CAM has partnered with the right company in Sirona because they have obviously shown that they are not afraid to innovate and more importantly, they dont follow the trends, they set the trends. The first series of emotions we have already addressed. Not as vocal but still present are the emotions of 'OMG- I just bought my Bluecam and now I need to upgrade- WTF?'

The first is mass euphoria- A color scanner, powder free, streaming capture, color models, - the Omnicam is just awesome. This feature makes it easy to distinguish between gingiva and the preparation margin, and between gold, amalgam, and composite restorations.With all the hoopla and hyple about the Omnicam, there are two types of emotions that I see floating around from CEREC users. Generating a digital model in color, with natural shades, is another feature the Omnicam possesses that the Bluecam does not. This is called the Patient Counseling Mode, and is designed to improve case acceptance.

This process can be interrupted and resumed at any time.īetween the Bluecam and Omnicam, only the Omnicam allows the operator to record video clips of the scan so they can be shown to patients. Thanks to its continuous image capturing, the Omnicam's camera can be moved closely over the teeth in a natural, flowing movement. The Bluecam's single-image capture method requires the camera to be placed directly on the tooth. The Omnicam, on the other hand, uses continuous image capturing to generate a 3D model.Īs a result, the Bluecam is better suited for single-tooth restorations, while the Omnicam excels at full-arch and half-arch scans. The Bluecam combines several single images to create a 3D model. The Bluecam does require powder, but only a thin layer.

This adds considerably to its convenience factor. The Omnicam is the first CAD system from Sirona that doesn't require powder. This month we've broken down the main differences (and similarities) between Sirona's two latest CAD systems. Curious about how the CEREC Omnicam and CEREC Bluecam compare? You're in luck.
