Get A More Accurate Diagnosis In Comfort With The Medit i700 Intraoral Scanner

The Medit i700 Intraoral Scanner is a crucial tool at Dr. Sherman Ki & Associates In Oshawa, ON. It has changed how we capture detailed and accurate impressions of our patients' teeth. The device has become an indispensable asset at our practice, helping us to streamline our processes and improve the quality of patient care.

What is the Medit i700 Intraoral scanner?

The Medit i700 Intraoral Scanner is a digital solution that replaces traditional, often uncomfortable, impression-taking methods. Using a combination of high-resolution imaging and 3D scanning technology, the device captures precise digital impressions of your oral cavity. This eliminates the need for physical molds, significantly reducing patient discomfort and contributing to a more efficient and streamlined workflow.

How does it work?

The scanner projects a structured light pattern into the oral cavity while two high-definition cameras capture the reflected pattern. Advanced software processes these images, constructing a highly accurate 3D model of your teeth, soft tissues, and surrounding structures. The result is a detailed virtual replica that can be manipulated, analyzed, and shared digitally.

How is it used?

The scanner is used extensively in restorative treatments, aiding in creating crowns, bridges, and veneers by providing more accurate measurements for optimal fit and aesthetics. Additionally, we employ the device for treatment planning, tracking progress, and fabricating clear aligners. The scanner's speed and accuracy enable more precise implant placement and facilitate the design of custom abutments.

What are the benefits of an intraoral scanner?

Patients experience a more comfortable, non-invasive procedure compared to traditional impression methods. The device's real-time visualization allows us to immediately assess the quality of the scan, potentially reducing the need for retakes. Enhanced accuracy minimizes errors, leading to better-fitting restorations and reducing the likelihood of adjustments. The scanner's seamless integration with CAD/CAM systems expedites the design and manufacturing process, resulting in quicker turnaround times.
