When it comes to restorative dentistry, many people know that they need to get dental moulds.

But when it comes to making dental moulds, many people's brows wrinkled.

A large mass of impression material into the mouth, a plug is 15 minutes, open mouth for a long time, a strong sense of foreign body, and even a lot of patients will be nausea and vomiting, so people no longer want to experience a second time.

Therefore, based on the needs of the general public, our hospital newly introduced digital oral scanner, so that patients can get more accurate oral diagnosis and treatment results at the same time, experience a more comfortable diagnosis and treatment services.

This also marks a new stage of digital diagnosis and treatment in our dental department.

What is Digital Oral Scanning Technology?

Digital Dental Scanning is a technique that uses optical 3D scanning technology to make precise measurements of the oral cavity. It produces an accurate 3D model without the use of any moulds and without any pain or discomfort. This is achieved by using a presentation system consisting of a laser light source, a CCD camera, a scanner and a computer. The data obtained after scanning can be immediately transferred to computer software for processing for applications such as fabrication of oral templates, restorations, prosthetic aids, anterior palatal plates and other oral appliances.

What are the advantages of digital oral scanning technology?

1、No mould, no pain

Traditional measurement methods require mould making, and the patient needs to bite the mould in the mouth for ten minutes, which will cause discomfort and pain on the patient's tongue, oral surface or buccal mucosa. The oral scanning technology can be scanned directly without any preparation, without the need for cutting, stuffing, matching and making moulds and other steps, which will not cause pain and other discomfort to the patient.

2、Measurement data accurately and quickly

When scanning, the scanner can combine millions of data transmitted by the laser, camera and scanner to produce a highly accurate 3D model. The process is completed quickly and the resulting data is highly accurate, enabling precise measurement of the shape and size of oral tissues such as teeth, gingival tissues and jawbone beds.

3、Rapid access to treatment options

The dentist can determine the treatment plan in the first time according to the computer imaging.

4、Significant benefits

Traditional technology requires a long time to make and repair oral moulds, and this work requires a lot of time and energy. However, with the development of oral scanning technology, the calculation speed of the measurement data has been further improved, the production time and manpower costs are reduced, which can greatly improve work efficiency.

What are the application scenarios of digital oral scanning?

Oral scanning technology in dentistry has a wide range of application scenarios, including oral 3D printing models, restorations, invisible orthodontics, implant upper repair and so on. One of the most widely used is in the field of dental restoration. The restorations made using oral scanning technology can be fitted to the intrinsic teeth, with highly aesthetic and comfortable features, which greatly improves the patient's treatment experience and treatment effect.

Check-up health reports can be output, allowing patients or their families to better understand their oral health and actively protect their oral health.

Dentists can obtain reliable and detailed scanning data to help implant planning and guide plate design and production, chairside immediate implant temporary restoration.

It supports intraoral data collection for all types of restorations, including inlays, crowns and bridges, veneers, etc., to achieve efficient restorations with "one less trip".

After the doctor collects the patient's intraoral data, the orthodontic simulation function allows the patient to visually foresee the effect of tooth arrangement.
