At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we continue to explore ways to enhance the digital dentistry experience with practical innovation. Our latest advancement—the Aoralscan Elite scanner—brings together two critical imaging technologies in one device, offering a more flexible and efficient solution for modern dental professionals. This integration supports a wide range of clinical needs, from routine restorative work to complex implant procedures.
The Two in One Approach to Imaging
The Aoralscan Elite combines intraoral scanning (IOS) with photogrammetry to streamline the diagnostic and treatment planning process. In its intraoral scanning mode, it captures detailed digital impressions of the patient’s dentition, delivering precise visuals of teeth and soft tissues. This functionality supports common restorative workflows, orthodontics, and chairside communication with patients.
In photogrammetry mode, the Aoralscan Elite offers high-precision imaging for full-arch implant restorations. This is especially useful for All-on-X cases, where accurate implant positioning is critical. By consolidating these capabilities into a single device, clinicians no longer need to switch equipment or workflows when treating different case types.
Supporting Implant Accuracy with Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry plays a central role in capturing spatial relationships between multiple dental implants. For edentulous cases, where conventional IOS may fall short in positional accuracy, photogrammetry ensures minimal deviation between scan data and actual implant locations.
The Aoralscan Elite intraoral photogrammetry scanner uses optical markers and proprietary software to map implant positions with high fidelity. This helps avoid potential misfits during prosthesis fabrication and reduces the need for multiple adjustments after placement. In practice, this means fewer patient visits and more confidence in the final fit.
Efficiency That Supports Daily Practice
By merging two types of dental imaging into one platform, the Aoralscan Elite simplifies the clinical workflow. Dentists and technicians can perform comprehensive scans without changing devices or exporting files between systems. This reduces chairside time, minimizes data transfer errors, and enhances communication with dental labs.
The scanner’s lightweight design and intuitive interface also make it easy to integrate into existing setups. Whether used for a single crown or a full-arch implant restoration, it supports efficient scanning and data processing from start to finish.
Digital Innovation Backed by Industrial Expertise
At SHINING 3D DENTAL, our roots in industrial 3D imaging have informed how we develop technology for the dental field. The Aoralscan Elite intraoral photogrammetry scanner is a result of this cross-industry experience—bringing together accuracy, speed, and user-centered design.
We understand the challenges clinicians face when balancing precision and productivity. That’s why we’ve created a tool that adapts to multiple clinical scenarios without compromising performance. Whether you’re performing routine IOS scans or complex photogrammetry workflows, the Aoralscan Elite is built to support your needs.
Conclusion
The Aoralscan Elite represents a practical shift in how dental professionals approach imaging. With both intraoral scanning and photogrammetry built into one device, it offers flexibility for general and implant dentistry without added complexity. At SHINING 3D DENTAL, we’re proud to support modern practices with solutions that merge clinical demands with innovative design.
