Intraoral scanner – what is it all about? In the past every dentist worldwide used sticky paste materials to make an impression of the teeth. This way the information was transferred to a dental lab.

In order  harden, the impression material has to stay in the mouth for about 3 minutes. And please,  make no mistake – 3 min is a lot of time with a mouthful of sticky mass! This technique caused a lot of inconvenience and even nausea to the patients with a sensitive palate, so called Gag reflex.

Recently in our dental clinic in Beer Sheva  we replaced the impressions by a digital imaging of the teeth and the mouth tissues. Tiny intra-oral camera moves around the mouth and scans whatever needs to be recorded. The program stiches thousands of individual snapshots to a 3D simulation. All we have to do is to push the button. The computer transfers the data  instantaneously to a lab anywhere on planet Earth.    

Currently we use labs in Tel Aviv, Beer Sheva, Dusseldorf (Germany) and Hong Kong (China) .

What do we take scans for in our clinic using our Trios 3 intraoral scanner :

• Invisible clear aligners for orthodontics
• Porcelain crowns, Zirconia crowns
• Inlays and Onlays ( porcelain cavity fillings )
