With over two decades of experience perfecting the hardware and software behind intraoral scanners, iTero remains one of the top brands in the marketplace - and for good reason!
Backed by Align Technology, the same company known for Invisalign®, iTero has become synonymous with intraoral scanning utilized in digital workflows such as clear aligners, orthodontics and restorative dentistry.
Today, the launch of the iTero Lumina has made a big splash in the IOS market. With exciting new features and an ergonomic design, this new iTero technology makes for a really attractive offer to many doctors.
Yet, still many doctors choose the iTero Element family for their reliability and affordability. Today, we’re exploring why doctors are still choosing the iTero Element line of dental scanners.
1. Advanced Imaging Technology
High-Resolution Digital Impressions
One of the primary reasons dentists choose iTero Element scanners is their advanced imaging technology, which provides high-resolution digital impressions with remarkable accuracy.
iTero Element scanners use advanced optical technology to capture detailed, three-dimensional images of the oral cavity. This precision allows for accurate representations of teeth, gums, and other oral structures, which is crucial for effective treatment planning and diagnostics.
Additionally, these dental scanners are remarkably fast. The iTero Element can capture 6,000 frames per second, completing a full arch scan in less than 30 seconds. This reduces patient chair time and increases a dental practice's workflow efficiency.
Enhanced Detail and Accuracy
The high-resolution capability of iTero Element scanners enhances the detail and accuracy of digital impressions, making it easier for dentists to identify subtle anatomical features and potential issues.
This level of detail is particularly beneficial for complex procedures such as restorative work, orthodontics, and implant planning. By obtaining precise digital impressions, dentists can ensure that their treatment plans are based on accurate data, leading to better clinical outcomes.
The high level of accuracy and detail provided makes the iTero Element family of intraoral scanners is useful for implant treatment planning, surgical guide planning, orthodontics, and much more.
2. Seamless Integration and Workflow Efficiency
Compatibility with Digital Ecosystems
iTero Element scanners are designed to seamlessly integrate with various digital dental ecosystems, including CAD/CAM systems and electronic health records (EHR). This compatibility allows for smooth data transfer and streamlined workflows, reducing the need for manual data entry and minimizing the risk of errors.
The ability to integrate with other digital tools enhances practice efficiency and supports a more connected and cohesive approach to patient care.
Real-Time Visualization and Immediate Feedback
Another advantage of the iTero Element scanners is their real-time visualization capability. Dentists can view digital impressions instantly as they are captured, allowing for immediate feedback and adjustments during the scanning process.
This real-time visualization helps in verifying the accuracy of the impressions and making necessary corrections on the spot, improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the scanning process.
This advantage of digital intraoral scanners in general (though it is not unique to iTero scanners) represents a massive improvement over taking traditional impressions with impressioning media, which creates longer lead times, does not provide for real-time visualization, and which requires more storage space in the office for patient records.
3. Enhanced Patient Experience
Comfort and Convenience
iTero Element scanners are designed with patient comfort in mind. iTero scanners are lightweight and ergonomically designed, making them less invasive and more comfortable for patients during the scanning process.
The fast scanning speed minimizes the time patients spend in the chair, reducing discomfort and enhancing their overall experience. This may in turn boost rates of patient acceptance of treatment too.
Digital Impressions and Predictable Outcomes
The use of digital impressions with iTero Element scanners contributes to more predictable treatment outcomes. The high accuracy of the scans ensures that restorations, aligners, and other dental appliances fit well and function effectively. This precision reduces the likelihood of adjustments or remakes, leading to a smoother and more predictable treatment process for patients.
