Area of Science:

Dentistry
Digital Health Technologies

Background:

Most dental offices utilize digital radiography and patient records.
Current adoption of intraoral scanning systems is low, with stand-alone systems at 6% and integrated CAD/CAM systems at 12%.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the advantages of intraoral scanning systems for patient care and dental laboratory communication.
To explore various scanner architectures and potential workflow models.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature and industry data on intraoral scanning systems.
Analysis of different scanner types and their integration into dental workflows.

Main Results:

Low current adoption rates for both stand-alone and integrated intraoral scanning systems.
Significant potential benefits for patient care and interprofessional communication, especially with dental labs.

Conclusions:

Increased dentist awareness of the benefits of intraoral scanning is crucial for wider adoption.
Scanning systems represent a key advancement in modern dental practice management and patient treatment.
