673d Dental Squadron utltize 3-D Dental scanners

The 673d Dental Squadron can create crowns with a same-day replacement by utilizing many tools including a 3-D dental scanner and printer for a perfect fit on the old tooth and adjustable top to match the rest at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson Hospital, Alaska, Aug. 14, 2017. A cavity or incomplete tooth needs a crown to prevent further damage. The dentist removes any decay and the outer layer of the tooth so the crown fits like a cap.
