Intra-oral dental 3D scanners

Intra-oral dental 3D scanners

The 3D dental scanner has become the essential entry point for the digital workflow. By replacing traditional physical impressions with precise optical acquisitions, it enhances communication between practitioners and laboratories, reduces errors, and accelerates the production of restorations, models, or surgical guides.

Thanks to the micrometric precision of the sensors and modern reconstruction algorithms, each tooth, each occlusal surface or gingival area can be faithfully reproduced. The result is a realistic modeling, immediately usable for computer-aided design (CAD) and additive manufacturing.

Key Benefits

Reproducible Precision: deviations less than 10 µm depending on the model, ensuring perfect adjustments.

Time-saving: the complete acquisition of an arch can be done in a few minutes.

Smooth Workflow: direct integration with CAD/CAM software and 3D printers.

Improved Patient Experience: increased comfort, without paste or mold.

Optimized Communication: instant visualization and digital sending to the laboratory.

These scanners naturally integrate into a complete digital ecosystem: prosthesis design, aligner modeling, surgical guide manufacturing, or customized implant restoration.

Criteria for choosing a 3D dental scanner

• Capture speed and fluidity of the video stream
• Precision on marginal areas and shiny surfaces
• Compatibility with design software
• Ergonomics, size of the handpiece and ease of sterilization
• Open output format (STL, PLY, OBJ)
• Local technical service and support

The choice will depend on the workload, the type of restoration targeted (prosthesis, orthodontics, implantology), and the desired level of integration into the digital chain.

Increased productivity in the service of precision

By combining a 3D dental scanner with design software and a 3D printer, laboratories reach a new level of efficiency: design becomes instantaneous, adjustments are predictive, and the reproducibility of parts is guaranteed over the long term. The costs of touch-ups and reprinting are reduced, while patient satisfaction is increased.
