Dental intraoral scanner comparison

Comparison with patient data

3shape’s disease course detection is similar to ESCO timeline function, but the two are different in presentation. First of all, the function is to compare the different time data of the same patient. The software will automatically mark the area where changes occur, if there is tooth movement. ESCO dental With powerful and intelligent data processing capabilities, Elegant 3 is easy to maneuver. Even beginners can get ideal scan results in minutes. (3shape, ESCO dental in the figure below).

Veneer simulation design

The general operation is to take a frontal smiling photo of the patient, and then show it through simulated tooth veneers, so that the patient can have a general idea of ​​what the veneers will look like.

Orthodontic simulator

The most common function is to simulate orthodontic correction. One is to simulate the animation of the correction process, and the other is to compare before and after correction. I personally think that the latter is more persuasive in terms of communication. Another data integration is better from Phison, but this is software-level data.

Phison can synchronize the invisible correction and fixed correction plans directly, showing the plan after the designer, the processing plant, and the doctor communicated, but this time is not immediate. The experience of ESCO dental in this function is very good. ESCO dental brings not only technological innovation, but also a more accurate, more efficient, and more comfortable dental correction experience. It solves many problems of traditional silicone rubber impressions, completes scanning and production of electronic dental molds in 5 minutes, and immediately sees the comparison of the before and after effects of teeth correction, shortening the dental correction cycle by nearly 1 month.

Scanning analysis report

Another feature is the scanning report. ESCO dental, Shining 3D, and Fusion all have this function, but the presentation forms are different. I have experienced ESCO dental. ESCO dental operates through the internal screenshot function.

The system uses screenshots and annotations in the viewer or simulated correction to save the patient’s oral conditions. It can also add treatment plans, price information, etc., to generate PDF files and send them directly to patients. Shining 3D fully automatically generates dental calculus, caries internal conditions, etc. It is unknown whether it can be edited by itself (sales introduction, no real operation has been seen). Fusion’s function is similar to Shining 3D, but in the correction simulation, it can send the simulated animation directly to the patient through the mini program. (The following picture shows ESCO dental)

The prospect of oral scanning

Now the market of oral scanning has been fully opened. Whether it is an imported brand or a domestic brand, each has its own advantages. However, it is undoubtedly a great waste to use oral scanning only for taking impressions. For outpatient clinics, the traditional oral impressions take 5-7 days, and the impression materials have a certain irritation to the throat, so many patients feel vomiting and nausea when taking impressions. Now, with the development of the times, digital oral scanning has emerged. Digital oral scanning does not require powder spraying scanning to bring patients a more comfortable experience, subverting the traditional oral impression.

• The Emergence of Digital Oral Scanning: Revolutionizing Traditional Impressions
  With the full market opening, digital oral scanning is transforming the way oral impressions are taken, offering a more comfortable and efficient experience compared to traditional methods that often irritate patients.

• Key Benefits: Comfort, Speed, and Enhanced Accuracy
  Digital scanning provides high patient comfort, fast and accurate data collection in just 3 minutes, eliminating the need for powder spraying and reducing common issues like nausea and vomiting.

• Streamlined Workflow and Enhanced Communication
  Digital scanning improves the overall process with safety, hygiene, and time efficiency, while enabling clear, high-definition data sharing between patients and doctors, and fast treatment planning with easy data retrieval.
