Enhanced Diagnosis and Treatment

 

Revolutionising dentistry through the power of oral scanners

An oral scanner, also known as an intraoral scanner, is a cutting-edge dental technology that revolutionizes the way dental professionals capture digital impressions of the mouth. It replaces traditional impression-taking methods, such as using putty-like materials, with a highly accurate and efficient digital scanning process. Oral scanners play a significant role in digital dentistry, enabling improved diagnosis, treatment planning, and the fabrication of customized dental restorations.

How Does an Oral Scanner Work?

Oral scanners utilize advanced optical technology to capture detailed 3D images of the teeth, gums, and oral structures.

The scanner consists of a handheld wand-like device equipped with a camera or laser, which captures multiple images of the mouth from various angles.

These images are then processed by specialized software, which reconstructs them into a precise and comprehensive digital model of the patient’s oral cavity.

Benefits and Applications of Oral Scanners

Accurate and Detailed Impressions

Oral scanners provide highly accurate digital impressions of the teeth and soft tissues, capturing even the finest details. This eliminates the potential inaccuracies and discomfort associated with traditional putty impressions, leading to more precise diagnosis and treatment planning.

Improved Patient Experience

Oral scanners offer a more comfortable and pleasant experience for patients. The non-invasive scanning process eliminates the need for messy impression materials, reducing gag reflexes and discomfort. Patients can breathe and swallow naturally during the scanning process, making it ideal for individuals with dental anxiety or sensitivity.

Efficient Workflow

With oral scanners, dental professionals can significantly reduce chairside time and streamline the workflow. The digital impressions can be instantly viewed on a computer screen, eliminating the need for physical impression trays, shipping, and time-consuming laboratory work. This allows for faster communication and collaboration between the dentist, dental lab, and other specialists involved in the treatment process.

Enhanced Treatment Planning

The digital models created by oral scanners provide dentists with a comprehensive view of the patient’s oral structures. This facilitates more accurate treatment planning and allows for better communication with the patient. Dentists can simulate various treatment options, evaluate the potential outcomes, and discuss the proposed treatment plan with patients using interactive 3D models.

Customized Restorations

Oral scanners play a crucial role in the fabrication of customized dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, inlays, onlays, and aligners. The digital impressions are used to design and create restorations that precisely fit the patient’s teeth and bite. This improves the aesthetics, functionality, and longevity of the restorations, ensuring optimal patient satisfaction.

Integration with CAD/CAM Technology

Oral scanners seamlessly integrate with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. The digital impressions can be directly imported into CAD software, where dental professionals can design and customize restorations digitally. The final designs can then be sent to milling machines or 3D printers, allowing for the efficient fabrication of precise and high-quality dental restorations.

Monitoring Oral Health

Oral scanners can be used to track changes in oral health over time. By periodically scanning the mouth, dentists can detect early signs of dental issues, monitor the progress of ongoing treatments, and compare the current state of oral health with previous scans. This aids in early intervention and preventive care.

Incorporating oral scanners into dental practices promotes the advancement of digital dentistry, allowing for more accurate diagnoses, improved treatment outcomes, and enhanced patient experiences. By embracing this innovative technology, dental professionals can provide patients with efficient, precise, and customized dental care.
