With TRIOS Core, dentists get AI-powered scanning technology at an affordable price point
There’s no shortage of roadblocks when it comes to patient acceptance—whether it’s time, money, anxiety...or a combination of all three. But what about dentists’ own barriers to treatment? Adopting new technology, changing long-standing workflows, and making significant financial investments can feel daunting.
Dr. Naren Rajan found himself at this exact crossroads over a decade ago, wondering if his hesitation to go digital was standing in the way of providing the best possible patient care.
From Stress to Seamless Scanning
“I had a patient who felt like the appearance of his teeth was holding him back in his professional life and with his self-esteem,” Dr. Rajan shared. “He got to a point where he was ready, willing, and able to restore his teeth, but he just could not tolerate the physical impression. The process of going through treatment in an analog fashion with an anesthesiologist and IV sedation made things incredibly stressful.”
That experience ultimately pushed Dr. Rajan over the edge, finally convincing him to embrace the idea of digital scanning. While today his office has two TRIOS 5 scanners—one dedicated to hygiene and one for restorative—back then, he got his foot in the door by purchasing the most basic TRIOS model.
Now, other dentists can follow in his footsteps by way of TRIOS Core, a fast, accurate, and economically priced intraoral scanner designed for a send-to-lab workfl ow.
Featuring the same AI-powered technology found in more advanced TRIOS devices, TRIOS Core allows users to capture single teeth, full arches, and edentulous cases with a smooth scanning experience that's up to 75% faster than traditional impressions.
“TRIOS Core gives dentists an affordable entry point into a market-leading digital scanner where they can progress at their own pace," Dr. Rajan said. “Aside from eliminating PVS impression material, they're going to immediately see the effi ciency of clicking a button and sending fi les to the labs digitally—that's going to happen on week one. They're also going to quickly see the benefi ts of patient comfort and communication just by being able to share scans in real time.”
Send-to-Lab Made Easy
Through the 3Shape Unite platform, TRIOS Core users can connect with over 25,000 labs, as well as manage and access their cases in the cloud.
While Dr. Rajan has embraced the full suite of TRIOS software in his practice—from the 3Shape Dental System laboratory CAD design software, TRIOS Design Studio, and TRIOS Implant Studio to patient engagement apps like TRIOS Patient Monitoring, which compares patient scans from one visit to the next—the core reason he invested in a digital scanner still holds true.
“On a daily basis, we use TRIOS to replace impression material and better communicate with our patients,” he concluded.
