IMPROVING CHAIRSIDE CONSULTS THROUGH DIGITAL SCANNING TECHNOLOGY

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Since its launch, the iTero Element digital intraoral scanner has been making significant inroads in practices. Its advanced features allow it to be used in a variety of processes to enhance and streamline digital restorative workflows.
• With the recent upgrade — which includes proprietary TimeLapse Technology — the iTero Element scanner has the capability to improve patient case acceptance.
• Thanks to TimeLapse Technology, this unit scans in as little as 60 seconds,* and the resulting three-dimensional (3D) visualizations can be compared to previous scans to document progressive changes in the dentition and gingiva.
• These digital impressions show the patient potential areas of concern — with none of the mess or hassle associated with traditional impression materials.
• When patients see problems for themselves, they are able to make better and more informed decisions regarding treatment, typically right at chairside with their practitioner.
• In addition to offering vibrant, realistic color scanning, additional features include iTero’s exclusive Invisalign outcome simulator and 3D Invisalign progress assessment.
• This versatile unit also provides multibite scanning capability and a certified lab connectivity workflow.
