What is an Intraoral Scanner?

Intraoral Scanner
The intraoral scanner is a modern, digital device that allows for precise and fast dental impressions without the need for traditional methods like impression materials. This device is used in dentistry for the creation of prosthetic works, orthodontic devices, and other dental solutions.
How It Works?
The intraoral scanner uses digital technology to map the interior of the oral cavity. The device scans the teeth and gums using special cameras and light sensors, creating a three-dimensional (3D) model. This model allows the dentist and technician to precisely plan and create customized dental works. The process is quick, comfortable for the patient, and eliminates the discomfort associated with traditional impression methods.
Advantages of the Intraoral Scanner
The intraoral scanner offers numerous benefits for both patients and dentists, thanks to innovative technology and a modern approach in dentistry.
-
Comfort for the Patient
Discomfort associated with traditional impression-taking methods, such as gagging, reflexes, or difficulty breathing, is completely eliminated. The process is painless, fast, and significantly less stressful for the patient.
-
Exceptional Precision
The intraoral scanner provides a high level of detail, allowing the dentist to obtain clear and accurate information about the structure of the teeth and surrounding tissues. More precise impressions reduce the possibility of errors, leading to better final results and perfect-fitting prosthetics.
-
Speed and Efficiency
The time required to take a digital impression is significantly shorter compared to conventional methods using special spoons and impression materials. The resulting 3D model can be immediately sent to the dental laboratory, shortening the time for the production of prosthetic restorations.
-
Digital Integration
Data is stored in a digital format, enabling easy archiving and reuse when needed. Digital models allow direct communication between the dentist and technician, speeding up the planning and manufacturing process.
-
Eco-friendly Approach
Eliminating impression materials and physical models contributes to reducing waste and promoting sustainability in dental practice.
Scanning Instructions and Process
-
1
Preparing the Patient
Before starting the scan, the dentist ensures that the patient's teeth and gums are clean and dry. This helps in obtaining a clear and precise digital record.
-
2
Placing the Scanner
The intraoral scanner is carefully positioned inside the patient's mouth. The dentist moves it along the dental arches, recording all the details, including the surface of the teeth, gums, and surrounding structures.
-
3
Digital Scanning
As the scanner moves over the teeth, it captures images at incredible speed, which are instantly converted into a three-dimensional (3D) model using advanced software.
-
4
Data Analysis and Processing
After the scanning is complete, the resulting 3D model is analyzed on the computer. This model is used for planning and creating customized prosthetic works, orthodontic devices, or other dental solutions.
