Computed Tomography

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Scanning Electron Microscopy

Scanning Electron Microscopy

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Background:

Scanning technology is revolutionizing dentistry, shifting from traditional impressions to digital methods.
Intraoral scanners (IOS) offer advanced optical impressions for various dental applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the development, current status, and future impact of scanning technology in dentistry.
To assess the diagnostic effectiveness of intraoral scanning for various oral diseases.

Main Methods:

Literature review of the past ten years from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.
Search terms: "intraoral scanner" AND "diagnosis*" OR "Dental Scanners."
Inclusion of original studies and human trials; meta-regression and subgroup analyses for heterogeneity.

Main Results:

Twenty-eight papers were analyzed, covering imaging principles of various dental scanners (e.g., iTero Element, TRIOS 3, CEREC Omnicam).
The review details primary conclusions, oral diseases identified using IOS, and the role of IOS as an oral diagnostic tool.
Intraoral scanning demonstrates significant diagnostic effectiveness across a range of oral disorders.

Conclusions:

Intraoral scanning technology is a valuable resource for dental professionals and academics during the digital transformation of dentistry.
IOS enhances the understanding and diagnosis of oral diseases, offering revolutionary effects and future applications.
The review provides insights into the diagnostic capabilities and evolving landscape of dental scanning technologies.
