The Dentsply Sirona inEos X5 is a highly specialised extraoral scanner that has established itself in thousands of laboratories around the world. Since its launch, it has constantly been in high demand. This year, Dentsply Sirona is celebrating the fifth anniversary of this precision scanner – a good time to have a look at the factors for the inEos X5’s success.
High precision, extremely user-friendly and open – the inEos X5 is a reliable lab scanner for dental technicians for many different indications.
An important prerequisite for the successful production of a prosthesis is that the initial situation in the patient’s mouth must be scanned as precisely as possible to achieve the desired fit and minimise the need for reworking. In a digital workflow, the qualities of a model scanner such as the Dentsply Sirona inEos X5 play an important part.
Proven precision for a wide range of indications
Five-axis robot kinematics and structured-light scanning make the inEos X5 an all-round scanner. Both models and impressions can be scanned digitally, so the scanner can be used for many different indications. Its high precision has been checked in lab tests according to DIN EN ISO. The accuracy of the standard “bridge” test specimen was demonstrated to be 2.1 μm ± 2.8 μm; 1.3 μm ± 0.4 μm was verified for the standard “inlay” test specimen. For this reason, the inEos X5 is exceptionally suitable, especially for implant treatments. Precisely determining the implant position yields excellent conditions for exact restoration results, even for long-span screw-retained bridges and bars at the implant level.
“Since the launch of the inEos X5 five years ago, the demand for precise digital processes has remained very high,” says Mr. Jörg Haselbauer, Global Product Manager at Dentsply Sirona. “The positive feedback from our customers in labs confirms this over and over again. I am certain that in the future, even more dental technicians will benefit from the advantages of the inEos X5!”
Open for flexible use
The user-friendliness of the inEos X5 is due in part to its large, open working range for direct, barrier-free access to scan the object and the possibility of placing all commonly used articulators. Depending on the case, automatic or manual scanning can be selected. The scan data recorded with the inEos X5 can be flexibly integrated into the further workflow – either via STL export or via wireless data transfer to the inLab CAD software. The inEos X5 is always delivered with a high-performance PC coordinated to the scanner and the software license, with no additional recurring license fees.
Five years of reliability: The inEos X5 stands for high precision when scanning models and impressions.
