Recently, Dental Review magazine published an article by Marie-Laure Pochen, President and CEO of 3DISC, an international scanning technology provider, in which she shared the latest details about the firm's cutting-edge creations.
Scanning software and hardware are very important parts of modern cutting-edge dental imaging and therapeutic technologies since they provide a high-resolution, precise image of the human oral cavity, including different types of tissues such as nerves, jawbones, and flesh. These depictions provide a list of new opportunities for dentists:
- Plan the operations in the smallest details
- Scrutinize the patient's oral cavity condition to find the diseases at the earliest stage
- Generate high-quality anatomical 3D models of dentures and implants
Such technologies have a wide range of different applications, and 3DISC company is constantly working to improve their effectiveness.
Let's take a short look at the most interesting 3DISC digital tools.
Scan & Tell
This technology is a symbiosis of imaging and diagnostic software that can provide a preliminary scan of a patient's oral cavity in just 45 seconds and define dental problems in the earliest stage when they are difficult to see, even for professional dentists.
According to company information, they used about 500,000 successful dental outcomes to 'teach' Scan & Tell software to analyze scans properly.
Fly AI for HERON
The latter is a completely new digital product line from the company, released in 2023. The HERON IOS scanner—one of the smallest of such devices (only 152 grams)—is equipped with special smart-scanning technology that allows it to check only necessary treatment surfaces.
The software enables ignoring other tissues such as lips, tongue, buccal mucosa, and cheeks, leaving only a particular area on the scan, depending on the specific settings.
Convinient integration
All described software developments are easy to integrate with smartphone and computer applications, allowing doctors to share and research scans much more effectively and additionally share them with clients to explain treatment details.
