Dentsply Sirona has debuted a new intraoral scanner and aligner software at the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany
The Primescan intraoral scanner is a new handheld scanner that can detect soft tissue and almost all tooth surfaces, according to the company. It can also take a full jaw impression in about three minutes and comes with a touchscreen that changes incline for optimal screen positioning.
The SureSmile Aligner software uses digital impressions and a radiograph to help clinicians create clear aligners. The software includes a patient photo and is designed to work as part of a digital workflow. It is also an open system, so clinicians can import files from other intraoral scanners.
