Digital Measurement and Scanning
Intraoral scanners are used to measure the mouth structure in dental treatments. It is applied in prosthetic treatments and orthodontic treatments with transparent aligners.
When prosthetics are produced in a laboratory environment for patients who will be fitted with dental prostheses (crowns, bridges, laminates or implant-supported prostheses) or when transparent plaques are used in orthodontic treatments, the relationships between the teeth and jaws must be transferred to production.
With a digital intraoral scanner, teeth and jaws are transferred directly to the computer environment in three dimensions through an advanced camera placed in the mouth. As soon as the measurements are taken, design can be started online in the laboratory without physical materials.
CAD CAM technology means the combination of CAD (Computer Aided Design) computer aided design and CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) computer aided manufacturing definitions. This means that the prosthetics are designed and produced in the computer environment after the 3D digital scan.
