At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we are committed to creating advanced digital solutions that elevate modern dentistry. One of the key innovations driving progress in implantology and restorative care is the photogrammetry 3D scanner. By integrating photogrammetry with intraoral scanning, this technology helps clinicians achieve highly accurate results, particularly in challenging cases such as edentulous jaw implants and complex restorative procedures.

The Role of Photogrammetry in Dentistry
Photogrammetry 3D scanner technology is designed to capture precise three-dimensional representations of the oral environment. In practice, this involves taking multiple images from different angles, then analyzing these data points to reconstruct implant positions with remarkable accuracy. When used with encoded scanbodies, this approach ensures that the angle and spatial location of implants are captured in detail, providing a trustworthy basis for restorative planning.
In implant-supported bridges, the need for a passive fit is essential. Photogrammetry offers clinicians the ability to visualize and evaluate implant placement with confidence, reducing the margin of error and improving patient comfort. The result is a workflow that supports accuracy at every stage, from impression to final restoration.
How SHINING 3D DENTAL Integrates IPG Technology
Our Elite and Elite Wireless scanners incorporate Intraoral Photogrammetry, also known as IPG. This integration is designed not only to improve precision but also to streamline daily practice. With a sleek ergonomic design, these scanners make intraoral data collection efficient while maintaining patient comfort.
By combining photogrammetry with intraoral scanning, we help clinicians acquire both soft tissue and implant data in one seamless process. This reduces chair time while maintaining reliability, which benefits both practitioners and patients alike. The ability to integrate accurate implant data into digital workflows ensures consistency across orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and implantology.
Clinical Benefits for Complex Cases
For patients with partial edentulism or full-arch restorations, capturing accurate implant positions is one of the most critical steps. The photogrammetry 3D scanner enhances this process by providing detailed data that can be used directly for treatment planning and design. This contributes to predictable results and more efficient collaboration between clinics and dental laboratories.
Moreover, the precision of IPG technology reduces the need for repeated scans or adjustments. By creating dependable digital models at the outset, clinicians can work with greater efficiency, saving valuable time while improving treatment outcomes.
Conclusion
The integration of photogrammetry 3D scanner technology within SHINING 3D DENTAL’s Elite series provides clinicians with a reliable foundation for advanced dental procedures. By combining accuracy, efficiency, and patient comfort, this approach helps practitioners achieve consistent results in both straightforward and complex treatments. As dentistry continues to evolve, photogrammetry stands out as an essential tool for those seeking precision and confidence in every stage of their workflow.
