Intraoral Scanning (IOS) is a dental technology used to capture detailed, 3D digital images of a patient’s mouth, including the teeth, gums, and other oral structures. It involves a small, handheld device called an intraoral scanner, which is placed inside the patient’s mouth to capture precise digital impressions. These digital images are then processed into a 3D model, which can be used for various dental treatments, such as crowns, bridges, implants, and orthodontic planning.

What are the Key Features of Intraoral Scanning?

• It uses light and advanced imaging technology to create digital impressions.
• It allows both the dentist and patient to see the scan in real time on a computer screen.
• The Digital Impressions are highly accurate and used to create precise dental restorations and treatment plans.
• It is quicker and more comfortable for patients compared to the traditional method.

What are the Advantages of Intraoral Scanning?

• It has no risk of Distortion.
• It reduces the risk of errors.
• It is Environmentally Friendly.
