Innovative 3Shape scanner

Modern dentistry never ceases to amaze. And the most interesting thing is that while you are reading this article, new methods and technologies in the field of dentistry are emerging for a comfortable, efficient, and effective treatment outcome.

Diagnosis is now a fundamental factor affecting the future treatment result! To accurately determine a diagnosis, thoroughly study the patient’s clinical picture and individual characteristics, and prevent possible complications, high-quality diagnostic evaluation is necessary. And this is not always about X-rays; it can also involve special dental impressions. However, today, new computer technologies are gradually replacing traditional standard impressions, such as the innovative 3Shape scanner.

The 3D 3Shape scanner from Denmark is a high-precision intraoral optical device that provides the ability to capture a 3D image of all nuances and features of the anatomical structure of the patient’s oral cavity.

Advantages of the 3Shape scanner:

• • Time saving. The image of the scanned oral cavity is sent to the laboratory in a matter of seconds, significantly reducing the time required for procedures.

  • Patient comfort. Completely safe, provides comfort for the patient, as scanning is completed in just a few minutes and there is no need to take uncomfortable impressions.

  • High accuracy. More precise diagnostic information about the patient, ensuring a higher quality and more aesthetic result. Detailed visualization in 3D format. Ability to create accurate and well-founded treatment forecasts and plans.

  • Versatility. Ability to perform a repeat scan at the same time, and applicable for both adult and pediatric patients.

  • Enamel scanning. The scanner accurately conveys the natural color of the patient’s tooth enamel, allowing for the most aesthetic result when creating individual prosthetic constructions in the laboratory.

How is scanning performed using the 3Shape scanner?

Scanning stage. The specialist scans the upper and lower jaws, not lingering on each tooth for long. The scanner’s sensor, equipped with a microcamera, reads the information, and at the same time, the result is instantly displayed on the monitor in real time with accurate color reproduction.

Clinical situation analysis. Using a special application designed for this device, the dentist can thoroughly examine the “picture” based on the obtained information and select an effective treatment method.

Fabrication of the prosthetic construction in the laboratory. The dental technician can immediately begin work on creating the prosthetic constructions, as the three-dimensional scanned image is sent directly to the laboratory within minutes.

In which cases is the 3Shape scanner useful?

• • During orthopedic treatment (before installing a crown or veneer)

  • During orthodontic treatment (before installing braces or aligners and for predicting the outcome by the specialist)

  • Obtaining accurate data before implant placement (allows for precise determination of the area for installing the artificial root — abutment)

  • During diagnosis in therapeutic treatment (monitoring progress after procedures)

  • Thanks to the three-dimensional image from scanning, it is possible to create a high-quality prosthetic construction taking into account all nuances and achieving the most natural and aesthetic visual result

Taking impressions has never been so convenient, fast, and comfortable! Scanning teeth with digital equipment, modeling the patient’s future smile, and planning and predicting treatment using ultra-fast computer technologies have the feature of eliminating the “human factor.” They can help avoid certain errors and complications and allow work to be done not “by feel,” but flawlessly, accurately, and according to a proven template. However, a specialized professional is not just physical hands, and this should not be forgotten. It is also an important artistic and creative vision of the result, which is why the dentist’s role will always be paramount.
