What to Know About SHINING 3D DENTAL’s Photogrammetry Dental Scanner

Digital dentistry continues to advance, offering more precise tools for capturing patient data and improving treatment workflows. At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we have developed the photogrammetry dental scanner to support clinical efficiency while enhancing scanning accuracy across a wide range of dental procedures. In this article, we introduce the practical features of this scanner and how it integrates into modern dental practice.

Dual Functionality for Expanded Clinical Use

The Aoralscan Elite scanner offers a distinct advantage with its combination of traditional intraoral scanning (IOS) and intraoral photogrammetry (IPG) in a single device. This dual-purpose functionality allows dental professionals to perform conventional scans for general and cosmetic cases while also addressing the precise requirements of full arch implant procedures.

Photogrammetry technology aligns markers or photogrammetric bodies to the surrounding tissue with high precision. This process reduces the margin of error that can occur with conventional scanning methods, particularly for complex implant cases. The result is a more predictable workflow that supports clinical accuracy and reduces reliance on repeat procedures.

Ergonomic Design That Supports Ease of Use

The Aoralscan Elite scanner is built with comfort and efficiency in mind. Its sleek and ergonomic design makes it easy to handle during longer scanning sessions. We understand the importance of practical tools in busy clinical settings, which is why the scanner’s form factor helps reduce fatigue and allows clinicians to maintain consistent scanning technique throughout each procedure.

By improving both control and visibility, the scanner enhances the user experience while contributing to a smoother clinical process.

Improving Efficiency Across Dental Workflows

One of the key benefits of photogrammetry in dental scanning is its ability to streamline multiple stages of treatment. The Aoralscan Elite scanner can significantly reduce chair time, laboratory steps, and scanning durations by capturing highly detailed data more quickly. This is particularly valuable for full arch treatments where precision and speed are essential.

When integrated with SHINING 3D’s digital ecosystem, the Elite enables same-day full arch restorations to become a viable option. From the initial scan to prosthetic design and fabrication, dental professionals can rely on a single, connected solution that promotes better results in less time.

Accuracy That Supports Implant Success

Full arch implant cases require high levels of detail to ensure long-term prosthetic fit and function. The Aoralscan Elite scanner’s photogrammetric feature helps meet this need by producing highly accurate digital impressions. This approach minimizes errors in implant positioning and ensures that restorations are based on reliable data.

With fewer adjustments and improved lab communication, dental teams can enhance the patient experience and support better treatment outcomes. The consistency and clarity of the digital files also reduce remakes and help maintain high standards of care.

Conclusion

At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we developed the photogrammetry dental scanner to meet the practical needs of today’s dental professionals. With its integrated intraoral and photogrammetry scanning capabilities, ergonomic design, and compatibility with full arch workflows, the Aoralscan Elite offers a valuable solution for modern practices.

Whether used for general scanning or detailed implant planning, the Aoralscan Elite supports accuracy and efficiency throughout the process. For clinics seeking to improve digital workflows and deliver high-quality care with greater speed, the Aoralscan Elite scanner is a reliable tool to consider.
