Area of Science:

Digital dentistry
Dental technology
Prosthodontics and Orthodontics

Background:

Intraoral scanners (IOS) are increasingly adopted in dentistry, offering immediate error detection and correction compared to conventional methods.
Despite benefits like efficiency and patient comfort, IOS present drawbacks including high costs, a learning curve, and challenges in specific clinical situations.
Factors such as patient movement, surface reflectivity, and software issues can impact scanning accuracy and workflow efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide an overview of intraoral scanners (IOS).
To detail the application, benefits, and drawbacks of IOS in dentistry.
To compare IOS with conventional impression methods and discuss impression materials.

Main Methods:

A literature review was conducted using recent publications on intraoral scanners.

Databases searched include PubMed, MEDLINE, EBSCO, and Google Scholar.

Keywords used were "Intraoral scanners, conventional impression, impressions, digital dentistry".

Main Results:

Intraoral scanners enhance efficiency and accuracy in dental procedures.
IOS offer improved patient comfort and immediate feedback for corrections.
Challenges include initial investment, technical proficiency, and potential workflow disruptions.

Conclusions:

Intraoral scanners provide significant comfort and benefits for both patients and clinicians in prosthodontics.
The integration of advanced technologies like IOS is crucial for modern dental practices.
Careful evaluation of limitations is essential for successful implementation of intraoral scanners.
