Scanning and Photogrammetry With One Device
Daniel Domingue, DDS, on the Aoralscan Elite intraoral scanner by Shining 3D
The Aoralscan Elite by Shining 3D sets a new standard in dental technology by utilizing cutting-edge intraoral photogrammetry (IPG) to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of digital impressions in implantology. This groundbreaking innovation integrates advanced image processing algorithms and real-time dynamic tracking technology, using coded patterns on the scan body as control points to ensure global accuracy and consistency, guaranteeing perfect placement of passive implants during the final restoration process. This approach replaces traditional, labor-intensive intraoral multi-angle scan body scanning, simplifying and accelerating the acquisition of complete scan body profiles. The result is greater efficiency and precision, empowering dentists with reliable data, accurate diagnoses, and comprehensive treatment planning. When compared with traditional intraoral scanning, this method excels at recording the intricate details of the teeth and soft tissues, including textures and contours, as well as the spatial relationships of implant positions.
A standout feature of the Aoralscan Elite is its high level of precision, which achieves the micron-level accuracy that is essential for digital dentistry. This accuracy ensures better-fitting crowns, bridges, aligners, and other prostheses, ultimately enhancing patient comfort. In addition, the Aoralscan Elite's speed sets it apart from other intraoral scanners. It can complete a full-arch scan in seconds, significantly reducing chair time for both practitioners and patients, and real-time data processing allows scans to be immediately viewed on a connected screen, enabling quick adjustments when necessary.
The Aoralscan Elite also prioritizes ease of use. Its lightweight, ergonomic design minimizes strain during lengthy scanning sessions, and its intuitive user interface enables dental professionals to adopt the technology without extensive training. Furthermore, the scanner seamlessly integrates with CAD/CAM systems, facilitating the easy exportation of digital files to dental design software applications or laboratories. This capability improves the efficiency of workflows from scanning to production, reducing turnaround times for dental appliances while decreasing the potential for human error that is associated with traditional methods.
Shining 3D's Aoralscan Elite is revolutionizing dental practice. With its advanced technology, it offers an efficient alternative to conventional impression techniques as well as other intraoral scanners, making it a valuable investment for dental practices.
