3D Dental Imaging: Intraoral Scanning<\/h1>\n

One of the most exciting advances in dental imaging technology is three-dimensional intraoral scanning. Of all of the newer technologies we offer at Mint Mini Dental Implants<\/strong><\/a>, this one seems to make our patients the most happy! In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about three-dimensional intraoral scanning.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is 3D Intraoral Scanning?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"3DThree-dimensional intraoral scanning is a method of capturing a digital replica of your teeth. Unlike intraoral photography, which is two-dimensional like any other form of digital photography, intraoral scanning is three-dimensional, and the image it produces is a three-dimensional \u201cmodel\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Intraoral scanners use a small, wand-shaped camera to capture thousands of tiny images of the teeth as your dentist, hygienist or assistant scans it over every surface of the teeth. These images immediately convert into a digital model, visible on a connected computer screen. The dental professional capturing your image monitors the building model and adjusts or corrects any areas of deficiency during scanning for a complete picture of your teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does 3D Intraoral Scanning Work?<\/span><\/h3>\n

The technology in three-dimensional intraoral scanning works by stitching together those thousands of tiny images using areas of overlap, piecing them together into a perfect puzzle-piece fit. The different angulation of the wand informs the software of varying surfaces, so that the combination creates a three-dimensional digital model.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do Dentists Use 3D Intraoral Scanning?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Three-dimensional intraoral scanning takes the place of dental impressions in many cases.\u00a0 Traditional impressions use a material that changes in consistency via a setting reaction. The material begins as a relatively moldable consistency, and after setting, holds a specific rubbery shape.\u00a0 Dentists use this to capture a \u201cnegative\u201d of the exact shape of your teeth and gums. Then we place a different material into the \u201cnegative\u201d to build a physical three-dimensional model.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most dental patients are familiar with this gooey impression process.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Three-dimensional intraoral scanning replaces gooey impressions with a digital camera. Dentists can use digital impressions for many of the same applications as traditional impressions.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
