A groundbreaking technical report published in the Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry (2025) introduces a fully digital workflow for creating Functional Removable Esthetic Devices (FREDs), showcasing the integration of advanced technologies in modern dentistry.
The study, authored by Mauro Merli, Luca Aquilanti, and colleagues, emphasizes the use of digital tools like intraoral scanners, facial scanning, and jaw motion tracking to achieve precise, patient-centered outcomes.
Notably, the research highlights the use of ITAKA Way Med’s Cyclops system, a cutting-edge jaw motion tracking technology, as a key component of the workflow.
The Cyclops system enables accurate recording of mandibular movements, which is critical for designing functional and esthetic dental devices. This integration of ITAKA Way Med’s technology underscores the company’s commitment to innovation in digital dentistry.
By leveraging tools like the Cyclops system, clinicians can create personalized, reversible solutions for complex cases, such as tooth wear, occlusal trauma, and periodontal conditions.
