Top 5 Most Important Features of an Intraoral Scanner
An efficient, high-quality, and technologically advanced intraoral scanner is an important tool for any Dental Practitioner to have in their practice. Disappearing are the days of using time-consuming conventional impressions to create restorations, as the most advanced practices are embracing the digital era.
Carestream Dental, for instance, a leading designer of some of the most advanced intraoral scanning technology, has recently unveiled their latest model: the CS 3700.
Dental Practitioner- and patient-centric, this newly designed scanner makes workflow fast and efficient, boasts smart-shade matching, and offers touchscreen capabilities.
Below are some of the most important features that the CS 3700 model can provide a practice:
Versatility:
Carestream’s CS 3700 can be used for a variety of procedures, including restorative, orthodontic, implant-borne prosthetic, and sleep device treatments. For the practitioner’s convenience, the scanner’s software, CS ScanFlow, allows the selection of any desired workflow from the screen for the best results for any procedure.
Aesthetics:
The CS 3700 includes smart-shade matching, which detects the enamel color of the tooth being scanned and identifies the ideal match. This is achieved through Bidirectional Reflectence Distribution Function (BRDF), which captures shade values from several views while considering all angles of the scanner. This technologically unique function sets the CS 3700 scanner apart from other scanners, which typically collect RGB values from only a single angle.
Ease of Use:
All it takes is one click to make the scanner’s smart-shade technology compile a report containing multi-layer shade information, allowing practitioners to share results with the dental lab or referral. This leads to not only a quick and simple solution for practitioners, but also optimal results and patient satisfaction.
Speed:
The CS 3700 boasts a scanning speed that is 20% faster than previous Carestream Dental intraoral scanner models. Despite this impressive increase, the accuracy of the data is not at all compromised.
Design and Software:
Studio F. A. Porsche, one of the most renowned design studios in history, collaborated with Carestream to design the CS 3700. Like the aesthetically brilliant vehicles and products that Porsche has designed throughout the decades, this scanner’s style is sleek, featuring optimized curves and ideal comfort. The grip channel gives practitioners a sense of balance and control, while an optional wrist strap prevents them from dropping and damaging any tools. Furthermore, practitioners can quickly and easily switch between upper and lower jaw modes, ensuring patient accessibility.
Likewise, The CS ScanFlow software provides practitioners with optimal control over the entire workflow.
With HD 3D scans and touchscreen capabilities, practitioners can easily get what they need for their restorative, orthodontic, oral surgery, and sleep dentistry procedures.
Considering all of the reasons why Carestream’s CS 3700 is one of the most technologically advanced on the market, it’s no wonder why it is considered a top-of-the-line scanner.
