Intraoral scanning technology today is ahead of all other areas of development in dentistry, as high-quality intraoral scanners greatly simplify the process of taking an impression, reduce treatment time, and relieve the patient of discomfort in the mouth during the procedure (when comparing scanning with traditional impressions using impression mass ) - and this is just the beginning of the list of advantages of new generation 3D scanners.
Modern intraoral scanners
Today, intraoral (intraoral) 3D scanners (IOS) are unique devices for creating digital impressions in dentistry. They project light onto the object being scanned, receive the reflected light signal and transmit it to a computer to create a three-dimensional image.
Images of dental tissues (as well as implants) taken by image sensors are processed by special software that creates point clouds. These point clouds are processed by the scanner software to produce a 3D surface model. As a result, the dentist receives a digital model that is more comfortable to work with than traditional plaster models. Based on this model, a physical copy can be printed on a 3D printer.
The intraoral scanner is the most convenient solution for the dentist and the patient, which is why 3D imaging is the leading trend in dental practice. The range of intraoral scanning devices on the market of modern high-tech dental equipment is quite large.
