SHINING 3D has announced the launch of the Aoralscan Elite featuring Intraoral Photogrammetry Technology (IPG) which is said to mark an advancement in dental technology.
This solution aims to set a new benchmark for accuracy and efficiency in dental implant procedures, especially for full-mouth edentulous cases and All-on-X treatments.
According to the news shared by SHINING 3D, the Aoralscan Elite is the first device in the world to integrate intraoral scanning and photogrammetry into a single unit. As an advanced intraoral scanner (IOS), it captures detailed images of dentulous cases, including teeth and oral structures.
Additionally, it functions as a photogrammetry system, precisely recording the placement of dental implants in edentulous cases. This dual functionality is designed to streamline both traditional dental work and complex implant procedures, enhancing versatility and efficiency.
IPG is a dental solution that merges structured light 3D reconstruction with photogrammetry. Developed by SHINING 3D, IPG technology is based on advanced photogrammetry techniques originally used in industrial metrology. This technology has been innovatively adapted for dental applications, particularly in scanning full-mouth edentulous implants, delivering exceptional accuracy according to SHINING 3D.
Moreover, the Aoralscan Elite’s IPG tip, larger than standard, ensures wider and faster captures of edentulous oral geometries. High-resolution data enables dentists to accurately assess soft tissue contours and identify abnormalities, leading to superior results in edentulous cases.
Other advantages of IPG include:
Exceptional accuracy: The Aoralscan Elite utilises advanced image processing algorithms and real-time tracking to ensure high accuracy. Encoded patterns on the scanbodies serve as accuracy control points, optimising recognition and pose calculation for consistent results. The large IPG scan tip minimizes the impact of soft tissue changes, further enhancing implant positioning accuracy.
Enhanced efficiency: IPG technology simplifies multi-angle intraoral scanning and captures precise data from minimum perspectives using panoramic photogrammetry. This innovation also reduces the need for multiple devices and complex workflows, enabling the Aoralscan Elite to handle full-mouth implant cases with ease.
Increased success rate: By providing accurate design and placement for large-span multi-unit implant restorations, IPG technology reduces the likelihood of rework caused by traditional trial and error, compatibility issues, and gum deformation, thereby improving treatment success rates.
Comfort and speed: Patients benefit from faster, more reliable diagnoses and treatments. The Aoralscan Elite’s precision reduces anxiety and uncertainty by providing accurate results quickly, enhancing patient comfort throughout the diagnostic and treatment process.
