iTero Elements 5D Plus Intraoral Scanner
The iTero Intraoral Scanner is a sophisticated device that maps a patient’s mouth, thereby helping Dr. Sadineni to recreate an accurate 5D digital layout of the oral cavity and all its structures. The procedure involved is quick, completely pain and discomfort-free for patients and is far more accurate than traditional dental cement molds and impressions.
Dublin Metro dental is now proud to offer iTero as an advanced alternative to traditional impressions, which can be messy and unpleasant.
What is the iTero Element 5D Plus Scanner?
The iTero Scanner is a sophisticated piece of machinery that is able to produce highly detailed and accurate digital maps of the inside of a patient’s mouth. These are, in turn, translated into 5D images, which a lab technician can use to make highly accurate dental restorations and orthodontic equipment, such as:
- Ceramic crowns: for the restoration of damaged/decayed teeth.
- Porcelain veneers: for the treatment of damaged/discolored teeth.
- Invisalign aligners: for the straightening of crooked, overlapping teeth.
Benefits of iTero:
- iTero is highly detailed and more precise than traditional impressions.
- The process of using digital scans is faster than taking an impression, capturing 20 scans per second, and can be electronically sent off to the lab chairside.
- iTero is mess-free and requires no impression material, leaving you much more comfortable.
- Appliances created with an iTero scanner return from the lab faster, getting you to your customized treatment goals quicker.
- Fit issues occur seven times less with iTero, meaning it’s much more likely to get it done the first try, without experiencing any discomfort.
- iTero also features time-lapse technology that allows the dentist to show you how things are going with scans taken throughout your treatment. This additional data can help the patient visualize abnormalities such as gingival recession over time or note progress from orthodontic appliances like Invisalign. This visual comparison enhances your understanding and participation in your treatment.
Why we chose to integrate iTero into our practice
The power of seeing is believing is unleashed through iTero visualization tools. Keep our patients engaged throughout their entire treatment journey: from beginning to end. We Show our patients their potential Invisalign treatment outcomes with the Invisalign Outcome Simulator. This chairside application is powered exclusively by iTero scanners to help patients visualize how their teeth may look at the end of Invisalign treatment. Once in treatment, iTero Time-lapse technology shows patients how their teeth are moving over time. It can be difficult for patients to notice the small changes that are occurring between appointments – Time-lapse is a great way to keep patients engaged in their treatment by highlighting those changes that they cannot see in the mirror. During treatment, the Invisalign Progress Assessment tool demonstrates to the patient how they are progressing to their specific ClinCheck treatment plan. Use this tool in real-time to discuss compliance issues and educate on what the patient can expect at the next appointment. This bolsters their confidence in the treatment and gives them something tangible to look forward to at each visit.
