Intraoral Scanner
A device that digitizes the inside of the mouth in 3D with a camera, without taking a conventional impression.
Instead of biting down on rubber impression material, the teeth are scanned with a camera to create a precise 3D model. It is used in prosthetic, orthodontic, and implant design, and improves fabrication accuracy as well as patient comfort.
