Delcam has extended its product line with the launch of two dental scanners, both fully integrated with the company's DentCAD software for the design of dental restorations.
Both of the Delcam iMetric scanners use the latest generation of white-light 3D scanning technology, combined with precision calibration, to ensure that the restorations require minimum hand finishing and achieve the best fit, the company said.
The scanners produce a preview of the model after scanning so that any areas that require extra detail can be rescanned immediately. The data is then transferred automatically into the DentCAD software to complete the design process.
The entry-level version, the D62, allows data to be captured for crown and bridge work and inlays and onlays. By using the multidie fixture supplied with the scanner, it can capture data up to a five-unit bridge or five individual models simultaneously, Delcam said.
The more advanced scanner, the D102i, can be used for the full range of restorations, from simple copings up to a full arch. It also has the ability to scan models and implant positions for dental bars, implant bridges, and superstructures across a complete arch.
In addition, the D102i comes with a carbon-fiber calibration plate to ensure consistent accuracy and two multidie adapters, each capable of holding nine components, the company noted. Also included is a navigation ring that eliminates any inaccuracy that could be caused during the alignment process when scanning of the top and bottom of the model.
One of the benefits of the D62 entry-level model is the ability to upgrade it to the D102i without the need to purchase a new scanner, Delcam said.
