We are now using an intraoral scanner in our practice. The scanner is a handheld device used to directly create digital impression data of the oral cavity. Light source from the scanner is projected onto the scan objects, such as full dental arches, and then a 3D model processed by the scanning software will be displayed real-time on a touch screen. The device provides accurate details of the hard and soft tissues located in the oral cavity area through high-quality images, eliminating the need for gooey impression materials. This new technology can be used in many dental procedures.
