Digital Measurement
The digital measure is a dental technology that allows them to create a virtual computer-generated copy of soft and hard tissues in the mouth. Specially designed cameras and software systems are used in this technology. It is a method that allows you to obtain 3D data in a matter of minutes. The collected visual data is examined on a computer for dental restorations.
This method, which is applied by 3D scanning with an optical camera, has a fairly high accuracy compared to traditional dental imaging applications. In addition, it provides an easy archiving of all cases. The digital measurement method allows to for viewing the tissues of the mouth and the inside of the mouth in three dimensions. Unlike traditional methods, it allows you to transfer intraoral data to a digital environment in a short time. Patient comfort is at the highest level thanks to precise measurement.
With the three-dimensional models obtained in this method, design and prosthesis operations are performed in a digital environment. This method dec which facilitates coordination between the dental clinic and the laboratory speeds up the time of prosthesis construction.
In-Mouth Scanner Application
● The inside of the person’s mouth is displayed by the scanner camera. Thus, three-dimensional measurements are taken.
● Thus, a three-dimensional visual model appears. This model is transferred to the computer via an optical camera.
● The margin of error is minimized thanks to the dimensions of the in-mouth three-dimensional model displayed on the computer.
Advantages of In-Mouth Camera And Digital Measurement
● The patient’s expectations can be fully met in dental treatment.
● A highly aesthetic tooth appearance can be achieved.
● Facilitates dental treatment and reduces the treatment time.
● Eliminates complaints such as vomiting and nausea that occur with traditional methods of taking dental measurements.
● Gives the patient the opportunity to evaluate the structure of the mouth and face and make changes if necessary.
Digital Measurement in Prosthetic Treatments
Digital measurement is also an extremely effective method in prosthetic treatments. In this method, which allows modeling in prosthetic treatments, digital data on tissues and materials are obtained. For example, structures such as prepared teeth, soft tissues and implant measuring posts are scanned with an optical camera. Thus, the obtained three-dimensional digital data is transferred to the digital environment. In this method, CAD/CAM images can be taken from direct or indirect images. In the direct method, images are taken from intraoral scanners. In the indirect method, digital data is obtained from the measurement material or model.
