Digital Impressions (Itero Scanner)
Digital impressions or intraoral scanners are advanced dental technology that enables dental practitioners- this is to create highly accurate 3D digital models of a patient’s teeth, gums, and oral tissues. One such tool is the iTero scanner- it uses laser and optical scanning to capture the dental anatomy of the patient’s mouth. The 3D models are used for various dental procedures, including orthodontics, implants, and restorative dentistry.
