Dentsply Sirona said that its new Primescan intraoral scanner allows users to take accurate digital impressions of the entire jaw.
Primescan records natural and prepared tooth surfaces with high precision, and it captures materials used in dentistry with a high degree of accuracy across all substrates and for complete arch scanning, according to recent research by several universities.
Primescan can be used in different digital workflows, with CEREC, dental labs, and other partners, the company said. Using Dentsply Sirona's Connect software, a digital 3D model can be transferred directly to a preferred lab for processing. Primescan allows dentists to scan deep regions (up to 20 mm) in patients, allowing for digital impressions with subgingival or particularly deep preparations. Therefore, almost all tooth surfaces are captured, even when scanning at a very sharp angle, according to the company.
