Dental 3D Scanners
There is no denying the growing significance of 3D technologies, particularly 3D scanners, in the dental industry. Recently, we discussed the best 3D scanners for dental labs, which are larger scanners used by dental labs to create appliances from prefabricated impressions. Despite the fact that these scanners are still probably the most widely used in the dentistry business for 3D printing because of their superior precision, we would be remiss if we did not also discuss intraoral scanners.
Small, handheld devices known as intraoral dental 3D scanners are placed within the patient’s mouth to directly scan their teeth as well as to check the interior of the mouth. They can be used to skip the impression stage because scans can be processed instantly, which makes them substantially faster than impressions. At Seablue Dental of Kent, we use the latest iTero 3D scanner to take the digital impressions.
The most cutting-edge and market-leading 3D dental scanners are produced by iTero. The iTero scanners are believed to make it simple for dentists to digitize difficult-to-reach places. The scanners use single-use sleeves to ensure clean handling. Easy operation is ensured by an integrated touchscreen. It is possible to process up to 50,000 photos per second with the help of intelligent software, and when combined with itero software, an automated workflow is created that, for example, enables the production of full-zirconium restorations in a single session. The manufacturer claims that dentists will gain from having a full chairside workflow.
