Scanner-Assisted Treatments

New technologies in dentistry have introduced the concept of “digital dentistry”. One of these technologies is scanner-assisted dental production. This technology, which enables prosthetic teeth to be modeled in a computer environment, increases patient comfort while eliminating the margin of error in dentistry prosthetic tooth models.

In scanner-assisted dental production, prosthetic products are designed in a digital environment. It is the production of prosthetic teeth without touching. In this technique, intraoral scanning or table-top scanning devices are used. With these devices, digital three-dimensional (3D) images are obtained. In the light of these images, prosthesis modeling is performed. Then, after the model design, prosthetic teeth production is produced with the preferred materials.

● 3D intraoral scanning: In this method, an intraoral scanning device is used. Three-dimensional images obtained through the mouth can be transferred directly from the digital medium to the laboratory.

● CAD/CAM prosthesis: This is the stage of prosthetic tooth production from 3D images obtained from scanning devices.

Three-dimensional dentistry

Three-dimensional scanner devices have become a breakthrough in dentistry. Thanks to 3D imaging technologies, special solutions for the anatomy of teeth and jaw can be designed. Three-dimensional scanner systems, which are an important part of digital dentistry, provide speed and efficiency to dental laboratories and dental clinics. Thanks to digital technologies, it facilitates complex dental treatments. Thanks to the virtual placement feature, tooth production has become faster and easier. In addition, the risks of surgical complications are reduced. Three-dimensional imaging systems also maximize patient comfort.
