Abstract:
In recent years digital technology has transformed the practice of modern dentistry, with intraoral scanners (IOSs) being among the most significant materializations of this digital boom. IOSs eliminate the need for traditional impression materials and allow for the immediate digital capture of a 3-dimentional (3D) object being scanned.4 When assessing the "most ideal" IOS for a dental practice, key considerations include the types of procedures being performed, practice demands, and patient demographics. Only after an initial practice assessment has been made can advantages and disadvantages of various IOSs be compared against practice needs.
