Digital impressions

Digital intraoral impressions represent a significant advancement in dentistry, offering a more comfortable, efficient, and precise alternative to traditional impression-taking methods. With digital intraoral scanners, dentists can capture detailed 3D images of a patient's teeth and oral structures using a handheld wand-like device. These images are then instantly transmitted to a computer, where they can be viewed, manipulated, and used to design dental restorations with CAD/CAM technology.

One of the primary advantages of digital intraoral impressions is their ability to eliminate the need for messy and uncomfortable traditional impression materials, such as alginate or polyvinyl siloxane (PVS). Instead, patients simply have their mouths scanned with the handheld wand, which captures highly accurate digital images in a matter of minutes. This not only enhances patient comfort but also reduces the risk of distortion or errors commonly associated with traditional impressions.

Furthermore, digital intraoral impressions offer improved accuracy and efficiency in the fabrication of dental restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and aligners. The digital images captured by the intraoral scanner provide precise measurements and detailed anatomical information, allowing for more accurate and customized treatment planning. Additionally, digital impressions can be easily stored electronically and shared with dental laboratories or specialists, streamlining communication and collaboration between dental teams. Overall, digital intraoral impressions represent a state-of-the-art solution for enhancing the patient experience, improving clinical outcomes, and advancing the practice of modern dentistry.
