Carestream Dental Releases Latest Update to CS ScanFlow

Carestream Dental’s most recent scanner acquisition software update, CS ScanFlow v1.0.3, continues to deliver an enhanced scanning experience, with new benefits that reduce steps in the scanning process, protect data, make working with third parties easier, and even encourage patients to share their virtual smiles on social media. CS ScanFlow is the advanced software that powers the CS 3700 intraoral scanner and is also available for the CS 3600 intraoral scanner.

CS ScanFlow v1.0.3 Features

• The  new antireflective mode optimizes scanning reflective surfaces
• Access to secure digital impression file conversion tools via cloud-based Microsoft Azure. Now, scanned datasets can only be exchanged with third parties that have logged in and provided their credentials, adding an additional layer of safety concerning patient privacy. 
• Users can obtain up to five—instead of the previous three—bites in addition to the normal one to get an extensive view of the patient’s overall occlusion. All five bites can be exported to a lab or used in third-party software. 
• Users can also display the scan onscreen in the same orientation as the patient’s mouth with Smart Position mode for a more intuitive scanning experience. 
• Practices can create an animated MP4 file of the digital impression after completing the acquisition. Doctors can also share the video with referring doctors to provide a 3D view of the case. 

Additional user-inspired new updates include scan preservation for refinement, an enhanced cutting tool, intuitive scanner identification and connection, and many others.
