Digital mold taking technology is like scanning files. In just a few minutes, it can present three-dimensional images of soft and hard tissues such as teeth and gums clearly and intuitively on a computer, helping patients see their own dental condition at a glance and understand the treatment plans provided by doctors.
In addition, oral scanners also play an important role in the tracking and monitoring of treatment outcomes. During the follow-up visit, the patient can not only see the current dental status, but also clearly compare it with previous scan results, making it easy to demonstrate the changes brought about by the treatment
Another characteristic of digital mold taking technology is its high accuracy. This technology directly inputs the prepared shape of teeth into the computer through scanning, avoiding errors in the process of mold taking and perfusion modeling. In the later stage, precision processes such as 3D printing and cutting are used to make dentures, ensuring the accuracy of denture restoration
Oral scanners can also be used for the diagnosis and design of digital guided dental implants and invisible orthodontic treatments for uneven dentition. Compared with previous silicone rubber molds, digitization allows doctors to accurately observe the patient's occlusion and make a comprehensive predictive plan for the orthodontic target position. It can also assist in preoperative implant guide plate design, reduce surgical flap flipping, and achieve minimally invasive and precise implant implantation.
The introduction of digital oral scanners and the application of digital modeling technology have made dental restorative medicine more precise, comfortable, efficient, and safe, opening a new chapter in digital medicine and marking a new level of oral treatment technology.
