Dental Scanning
An intraoral scanner is a handheld device that generates digital impression data of the oral cavity. The scanner's light source is projected onto the scan items, such as whole dental arches, and a 3D model processed by the scanning software is then shown in real-time on a touch screen. Types of intraoral scanners Intraoral scanners in dentistry come in various types, each with unique features. Here are some common types: # Optical Scanners: Use light to capture images of the oral cavity. Examples include the iTero and 3Shape TRIOS. # Laser Scanners: Utilise laser technology for precise measurements and can provide high-resolution 3D images.. # Video Scanners: Capture continuous video footage, which is then processed to create a 3D model. # Hybrid Scanners: Combine multiple technologies (e.g., optical and laser) to enhance accuracy and speed. Features of an intraoral scanner: # Accuracy: ## Essential for minimising errors and reducing the need for retakes. ## Higher accuracy ...

CAD/CAM dentistry is a field of dentistry and prosthodontics using CAD/CAM ( computer-aided-design and computer-aided-manufacturing) to improve the design and creation of dental restorations, especially dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays and onlays, fixed dental prostheses (bridges), dental implant supported restorations, dentures ( removable or fixed), and orthodontic appliances. CAD/CAM technology allows the delivery of a well-fitting, aesthetic, and a durable prostheses for the patient. CAD/CAM complements earlier technologies used for these purposes by any combination of increasing the speed of design and creation; increasing the convenience or simplicity of the design, creation, and insertion processes; and making possible restorations and appliances that otherwise would have been infeasible. Other goals include reducing unit cost and making affordable restorations and appliances that otherwise would have been prohibitively expensive. However, ...

Dental Technology
A dental technician is a member of the dental team who, upon prescription from a dental clinician, constructs custom-made restorative and dental appliances. There are four major disciplines within dental technology. These are ''fixed prosthesis'' including Crown (dentistry), crowns, bridge (dentistry), bridges and Dental implant, implants; ''removable prosthesis'', including dentures and removable partial dentures; ''maxillofacial prosthesis'', including ocular prosthesis and craniofacial prosthesis; and ''orthodontics and auxiliaries'', including orthodontic technology, orthodontic appliances and mouthguards. The dentist communicates with the dental technician with prescriptions, drawings, and measurements taken from the patient. The most important aspect of this is a Impression (dental), dental impression into which the technician flows a Plaster#In medicine, gypsum dental stone to create a replica of the patient's anatomy known as a dental cast. A technician can then use this ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
