The field of digital dentistry is evolving, and at SHINING 3D DENTAL, we are proud to introduce the Aoralscan Elite intraoral photogrammetry scanner. This device brings together two powerful technologies—intraoral scanning and photogrammetry—into one unit. It provides dental professionals with a comprehensive tool for capturing detailed images of teeth and implant positions with impressive precision. In this article, we explore the features of the Aoralscan Elite and its role in supporting dental workflows today.
Integration of Intraoral Scanning and Photogrammetry
The Aoralscan Elite is unique because it combines the capabilities of a standard intraoral scanner with the advantages of photogrammetry. As an intraoral scanner, it captures high-resolution images of dentition and soft tissues, providing detailed data for general dental cases. The photogrammetry function enables it to accurately record the positions and angles of implants, especially useful in edentulous cases or partial edentulism. This integration eliminates the need for separate devices, streamlining the scanning process and saving valuable clinical time.
Photogrammetry works by taking multiple images from different angles and analyzing the spatial relationships between scanbodies attached to implants. This method allows for precise 3D modeling of implant positions, which is critical for planning and fabricating implant-supported restorations. By incorporating photogrammetry into the Aoralscan Elite, SHINING 3D DENTAL delivers a scanner that meets the needs of both routine dentistry and complex implant cases.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Scanning
We designed the Aoralscan Elite with a focus on ease of use and reliability. The scanner features an ergonomic design that fits comfortably in hand and supports smooth intraoral maneuvering. It offers a wireless option, giving clinicians freedom of movement without sacrificing connectivity or speed.
The device includes a high-performance image sensor and lighting system that ensures consistent capture quality even in challenging intraoral conditions. The data acquisition is fast and detailed, which helps reduce the likelihood of rescans. The scanner also integrates with dental CAD software, enabling seamless transition from scan to design and manufacturing.
These features make the Aoralscan Elite suitable for various applications, including orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and implantology. The scanner’s versatility supports a broad range of dental workflows, making it a practical choice for many clinics and laboratories.
Improving Clinical Workflows and Outcomes
By combining intraoral scanning and photogrammetry, the Aoralscan Elite simplifies clinical workflows. Accurate implant data capture reduces the risk of errors in restoration fit and alignment. This supports more predictable treatment outcomes and helps save time during the restoration fabrication process.
Additionally, the scanner helps improve communication between dentists, labs, and patients by providing clear and comprehensive digital models. This transparency enhances case planning and patient understanding, which can contribute to better acceptance of treatment plans.
Conclusion
The Aoralscan Elite intraoral photogrammetry scanner from SHINING 3D DENTAL offers an integrated solution that addresses both everyday scanning needs and complex implant procedures. Its innovative combination of scanning technologies delivers precise, efficient, and reliable results. For dental professionals seeking a device that supports diverse applications and streamlines their workflow, the Aoralscan Elite provides a practical and advanced option. As digital dentistry continues to grow, tools like the Aoralscan Elite help clinicians work with confidence and clarity.
