Shining 3D, a leader in 3D digitisation, has introduced a groundbreaking solution with the Aoralscan Elite, the world’s smallest, lightest, and only Intraoral Photogrammetry Technology (IPG) scanner. Combining texture mapping, structured light, and photogrammetry––the Aoralscan Elite sets a new standard in the dental industry.
Dental implants, particularly full arch prostheses, require meticulous planning and execution. An ill-fitting prosthesis can lead to numerous complications, including discomfort, functional issues, and the need for costly adjustments or replacements. The precision of the implant positioning is crucial to ensure proper integration and functionality. Accurate scanning and modelling of the oral cavity are essential to achieving these outcomes, reducing the likelihood of complications, and improving patient satisfaction.
Photogrammetry technology may be used in implant dentistry to obtain highly accurate information for recording three-dimensional implant positions during the fabrication of full-arch implant-supported prostheses. By using mathematical relationships to stitch together two-dimensional images, a three-dimensional representation of the implant positions is created within an XYZ axis. This technique not only captures positional data (XYZ) but also describes the rotational orientation of the implants using quaternions, ensuring precise spatial arrangement. Photogrammetry is the most precise digital method for recording the intraoral positions and orientations of multiple implants, making it a vital tool in modern implant dentistry.
Best of all, the Aoralscan Elite functions as a normal intraoral scanner making it the most dynamic scanner on the market–as simple as you want, as complex as you need.
