Intraoral Scanner 1 article

An Intraoral Scanner is a handheld optical device that captures three-dimensional surface data from teeth, gingiva, preparations, implants or appliances directly in the mouth. Successive images or frames are combined into a digital model that can be reviewed and transferred to restorative, orthodontic or implant-planning workflows. Scan strategy, soft-tissue control and access influence data quality, while the scanner itself does not perform CAD design or manufacture the restoration. The device is the capture hardware at the front end of a digital impression workflow.
