Today, you'll find dentists and specialists ditching traditional impressioning and making the investment in intraoral scanners. And, it’s easy to see why... when scanners are more powerful and more accessible than ever before. Your staff and patients benefit with an easy-to-use tool for minimally invasive impressioning, creating exportable digital patient records - easily shared with 3D printers, labs and/or mills.

 

The iTero Element® family of intraoral scanners is a cutting-edge digital scanning system that has transformed the field of dentistry. With its advanced features and exceptional accuracy, the iTero Element is revolutionizing the way dental impressions are taken and treatment plans are created. In this article, we will explore the benefits and applications of iTero Element scanners in digital dentistry and how it enhances accuracy in impressions and treatment planning.

Intraoral scanners have become a staple in dentistry in recent years, replacing traditional impression materials with digital impressions. These handheld devices use light and optical technology to capture a 3D image of the oral cavity, which is then transferred to a computer. One of the most exciting applications of intraoral scanners is their integration with 3D printing technology, which has revolutionized the field of dentistry.

For over a decade, iTero Element^® intraoral scanners have been known for their image quality, ease of use, compatibility with Invisalign^® case submission and overall advanced design.

The rising demand for Medit scanners among dental and specialty practices stems from the company’s mission to provide an "easy entry to digital dentistry.” Touting no monthly subscription fees, on top of being one of the most affordable intraoral scanners on the market, Medit scanners have lived up to the hype by also being able to deliver in terms of performance.

New dental technologies come and go, but over the past decade, it appears intraoral scanners have become a mainstay. Doctors are investing in intraoral scanners to bring value to their practices, helping them maintain digital clinical records while performing treatments faster and more comfortably for patients. And, the digital format acquired through an intraoral scanner makes  working with mills, dental labs, and 3D printers easier than ever before.

As a dental professional, you’re likely hearing about new technologies all the time. With the promise of improving workflows, enhancing patient care, and giving you the ability to market and offer your patients treatment via state-of-the-art, advanced equipment, many new technologies make sound investments for your practice. To help you decipher which are worth your investment, you may reach out to your colleagues, attend a conference, or research online.

It is becoming more common for dental practices to operate across several office locations, regardless of specialty. And, just like your main location, you’ll want to make sure you have access to the technology you need to provide the best patient care, including a digital x-ray and/or CBCT system.

Over 15 years ago, iTero^Ⓡ launched its first intraoral scanner. As a disruption to traditional impressioning, intraoral scanning has revolutionized many dental and orthodontic procedures. Intraoral scanners make it possible to create, store and share digital patient records, a more pleasant experience for your patients, and a more effective storage method than conventional molds.
