Intra Oral Scanner

 An intraoral scanner is a device that is used in dentistry to create impressions digitally. The scanner projects a light source onto the area to be scanned. Thousands of images are then captured by imaging sensors and are processed by scanning software, which then produces an accurate 3D surface model showing the teeth and gingiva’s geometry.

Digital intraoral scanners, as well as stand-alone equipment for computer-assisted design (CAD) and computer aided manufacturing (CAM), have become very powerful and efficient tools in today’s dental practices. They eliminate the need for traditional analog impressions and wax-ups, as well as the conventional hands-on fabrication processes associated with all-ceramic restorations.
