Description

An intraoral scanner is a handheld optical device that uses light-based scanning technology to capture a digital 3D image of a patient’s dental anatomy by scanning inside the mouth.

Instead of using conventional impression materials (like alginate or PVS), IOS systems offer faster, cleaner, and more accurate digital impressions.

⚙ HOW IT WORKS
The scanner emits light (structured light or laser) onto the teeth and oral tissues.

It captures thousands of images per second.

A software processes the images to form a real-time 3D model.

The model can be exported in STL, OBJ, or PLY formats for CAD/CAM design.

💡 Most IOS systems also capture color (texture), and some offer AI-powered features like auto margin detection and bite analysis.

🔍 TECHNOLOGIES USED
Technology Description
Structured Light Projects a light pattern and analyzes distortion to reconstruct shape.
Confocal Microscopy Captures focused images at different depths for high precision.
Laser Scanning Uses laser light to capture very fine surface details.
Video Scanning High-speed image capture to produce seamless video-like scanning.
