3Shape is demonstrating its new Trios Color digital impression solution this week at the 2013 International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany.
Trios Color is designed to scan and capture the intraoral situation in color without compromising standards for scanning speed and accuracy, according to the company.
The device facilitates the creation of scan images in the appearance of real teeth and gingiva, making it easy for dentists to distinguish between the different types of restorative materials, recognize bleeding areas, see color transitions on teeth, and easily identify margin lines with enhanced detail, 3Shape noted.
The company also presented its new Trios Pod, a configuration solution and an alternative to the Trios cart. It enables scanning with the Trios handheld scanner and software using selected laptop PCs. Scanning can be controlled from an iPad or mirror the 3D view on other displays in the clinic, such as monitors integrated in the chair, according to 3Shape.
