What are the advantages of oral scanners?

Five core advantages of oral scanners

1. Excellent patient experience (no discomfort)

Say goodbye to nausea: completely eliminate the nausea and vomiting reflex caused by the solidification and removal of traditional impression materials (alginate, silicone rubber) in the mouth, especially popular among patients with pharyngeal reflex sensitivity.

Fast and comfortable: The scanning process is gentle, pressure free, and fast (usually completed within a few minutes for full mouth scanning), greatly improving the comfort of medical treatment.

Safety and hygiene: Disposable sterile scanning head cover, eliminates the risk of cross infection, and has no concerns about material allergies.

2. Extremely high precision and efficiency

Accurate Detail Restoration: High resolution cameras can capture the smallest details such as teeth, gums, and edges of the preparation, obtaining highly accurate 3D digital models.

Real time visualization and correction: Doctors can view the scan results in real-time on the screen, immediately detect any deficiencies (such as unclear edges of the preparation, saliva or bleeding), and immediately perform a supplementary scan, avoiding the trouble of rescheduling after traditional impression taking.

No deformation of the model: the digital model is transmitted instantly through the Internet, without physical deformation, expansion or contraction that may occur during the transportation and filling of the traditional impression.

3. Revolutionary clinical and technical workflows

Instant transmission, shortened lead time: Scanned data can be sent in real-time to the laboratory or internal design center, almost eliminating logistics time and significantly reducing the denture production cycle (from days to hours).

Digital archiving and management: Patients' oral data can be permanently and non destructively digitized for future retrieval, comparison of changes before and after treatment, or for remote consultations.

Promote team collaboration: Doctors, technicians, orthodontists, and others can seamlessly communicate and remotely design solutions through shared digital models.

4. Empower new diagnosis and treatment models and doctor-patient communication

Visual communication tool: The 3D model on the screen allows patients to intuitively understand their oral condition, treatment plan, and expected outcomes, greatly improving communication efficiency and informed consent quality.

Enabling "immediate diagnosis and treatment" may be achieved by combining with the CAD/CAM system beside the chair, allowing for the design, production, and installation of dental crowns, veneers, and inlays to be completed on the same day, achieving "one visit, one tooth".

Expanding digital applications: Digital models are the foundation for all advanced digital treatments such as invisible orthodontics, implant guides, digital smile design, and 3D printed temporary teeth.

5. Environmental Protection and Economy

Reduce material consumption: No need to consume consumables such as impression materials, trays, gypsum, etc.

Reducing implicit costs: Avoiding the cost and time loss of rework, retrieval, and patient re examination caused by unqualified impressions.

The advantages of oral scanners go far beyond the step of "taking a model". They are the gateway to the digital transformation of the entire dental diagnosis and treatment process. It not only optimizes existing work by improving accuracy, efficiency, and experience, but also gives rise to new treatment methods and service models, becoming an indispensable standard configuration in modern advanced dental clinics.
