Dental Scanner is used in digital dentistry for making digital intra-oral impressions of the patient’s oral cavity without using the conventional impression trays. Its use in India are increasing very fast as they give more accurate impressions, the widest range of application, decrease aerosol formation, and patient comfort.

Depending upon the need clinician can opt for the digital dental scanner accordingly and start the New step toward the Digital dentistry world.

Intraoral scanner based on the 3d capturing technology which converts 2 D images into 3D images and shows it digitally. Intra Oral digital scanners are used by clinicians for impression making for prepared crowns, coping cuttings, for implant prosthesis, for orthodontic work

Advantages of the Intraoral Scanner are:

Crown lengthening involves removing excess gum tissue to reveal more of the tooth structure underneath. Traditional surgery is performed using a scalpel. In contrast, laser crown lengthening utilizes light energy to achieve the same objective and crown lengthening using diode laser. The usage of laser provides an alternative, effective method that produces good results with patient satisfaction.

When you smile, the gums should delicately frame the teeth. Patients with excess gingival tissue are said to have a gummy smile. This condition can be generalized, or it may only affect certain teeth. In many aesthetic cases, cosmetic crown lengthening is performed to reshape the gum line for a more symmetrical and uniform appearance.

• Used as diagnostic tools to tell, show and do patients about his oral health.
• Digital impression making is time-saving thus more patients can be attended to.
• Fast impression making over the conventional impression
• High accuracy/precision of impression.
• The widest range for applications.
• Saves money on impression material cost.
• Increase the patient’s comfort level and reduce the chair time.

Intra-oral scanner accuracy plays an important role as, more accurate the digital impression, the better the prosthesis. In the world of orthodontics

Orthodontics are playing a very good role as it directly scans the oral cavity and shares with the concern of aligner making company for aligner fabrication as well as making digital records for comparing scans between pre-treatment, mid-treatment, and post-treatment.

• Depending upon types, intraoral scanner categories are:
• Wired and wireless scanner
• Color scanner and black and white scanner
• Depending on model
• Handle grip and pen grip

Benefits for Clinician

• Intraoral scanner reduces chairside impression making time
• Better diagnostic tool
• Better impression accuracy
• Less patient discomfort
• Fast and easy impression making by the digital intraoral scanner.
