In today’s dental practice, efficiency and accuracy are paramount. The Aoralscan Elite by SHINING 3D brings a new level of convenience by integrating two key technologies: intraoral scanning and photogrammetry. This combination offers dental professionals a powerful tool for comprehensive digital impressions and implant capture in a single device.
What is a Photogrammetry Intraoral Scanner?
A photogrammetry intraoral scanner is a digital device that captures detailed 3D images of the inside of the mouth, including teeth, gums, and soft tissue. By combining the principles of photogrammetry with intraoral scanning, this tool enables dental professionals to gather data from both dentulous and edentulous cases. Photogrammetry enhances the system’s ability to accurately record the position of implants, making it an indispensable tool for implant procedures.
The Value of Combining Intraoral Scanning and Photogrammetry
Having a dual-function device, like the Aoralscan Elite, streamlines workflows by eliminating the need for multiple devices. The intraoral scanning function captures detailed images of the oral cavity, while the photogrammetry function focuses on implant positioning and complex cases, such as full-arch restorations. This integration ensures all necessary data is captured with one device, reducing the risk of errors from using multiple tools and making the process more efficient.
Time-Saving for Clinics and Labs
For dental clinics, the Aoralscan Elite reduces chairside time by offering both scanning and implant capture in one step. This means fewer appointments and reduced chairside wait times. For dental labs, receiving digital impressions with integrated implant data reduces the need for reworks, improving turnaround time and communication between the clinic and laboratory.
Conclusion
The Aoralscan Elite by SHINING 3D is more than just a scanner—it’s a dual-purpose solution that combines intraoral scanning and photogrammetry in one device. It simplifies workflows, enhances implant capture, and saves valuable time for both dental professionals and laboratories. In the fast-paced world of digital dentistry, this all-in-one tool is a reliable choice for improving the quality and efficiency of treatment.
