An intraoral scanner is used: a device that uses a special camera and a light source to create three-dimensional models of the patient's teeth. The scanner is inserted into the patient's mouth and allows for detailed images of the teeth to be captured from all angles. The data collected by the scanner is then processed and transformed into 3D digital models of the oral cavity. Thanks to precise measurements and images, this technology is able to provide extremely accurate impressions of the patient's mouth.
The resulting 3D images can be used both for the diagnosis of dental problems and for treatment planning in a more accurate way compared to traditional methods. Intraoral scanning allows dentists to make real-time changes, eliminating the need for multiple appointments or uncomfortable impressions with impression materials that can cause discomfort to the patient. This technology also offers greater precision for all those procedures that require precise measurements to achieve optimal results.
