• Innovation comes in increments. Smart STL will require input from the doctor regarding the anatomy of the patient's teeth and cooperation from the patient who takes a DentalMonitoringⓇ scan with their smartphone.
• Smart STL will improve the doctor's workflow, saving time and convenience for the patient, who will not have to make an unnecessary trip to the dental office.
