Intraoral scanners have completely transformed modern dental practices in recent years. But while a practice might find the decision to purchase an intraoral scanner to be a straightforward one, the decision around which intraoral scanner to choose can feel considerably more complicated.

The launch of the DEXIS IS (Intraoral Scanner) portfolio, a full suite of intraoral solutions, marks an important milestone for DEXIS, which now offers and a full range of digital dental diagnostic systems that cover every stage of scanning. With a growing network of innovative software and award-winning scanners that seamlessly work together, DEXIS can now truly transform and simplify the day-to-day routine of dental practices everywhere.

Doctor of Dentistry Yrjö V. Paatero worked at the Department of Dentistry of the University of Helsinki, where he, after the War, was responsible for X-ray examinations and diagnostics. There was not enough time for the research work that Paatero longed for as the days were filled with routine work. X-ray film was placed inside the patient's mouth again and again, as several X-rays had to be taken to determine the condition of the entire dentition. “There must be a faster solution to this” Paatero said, and the seed of panoramic X-ray imaging had sprouted. However, the road to this was not simple.

Are dental hygienists’ appointment windows shrinking? In a way, yes.
When you consider the multiple ad hoc requests that can arise combined with the growing trend toward accelerated and assisted hygiene, that appointment window can start to feel smaller and smaller.

An intraoral scanner is a handheld device used to create a digital impression in dentistry. This device has really become essential for every dentalpractice that places a premium on efficient procedures and the patient experience.

Choosing the right intraoral scanner for your dental practice can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to deciding between wireless and wired models. While wired intraoral scanners have been the industry standard for decades, wireless technology has improved considerably in recent years.

As dental technology advances, a growing number of today’s dental practices are expanding beyond general dentistry. More doctors are looking to differentiate and grow their practice while meeting a wider range of patient needs in-house. In the process of doing so, they’re also discovering the vital role 3D imaging plays in opening new possibilities for diagnosis, treatment planning and positive patient outcomes.

One look at a 3D image captured by a CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) scan, and there’s no question the level and quality of detail far surpasses 2D. Despite the clear advantages, however, some practices still have hesitations about investing in a CBCT system — thinking it’s too complex with more imaging power than is needed. Maybe it’s time to think again.

There’s been substantial buzz around assisted intelligence (AI) in recent months, and its implications for efficiency and accuracy. Indeed, AI is now an ingrained part of our daily lives; consider how many times you ask Siri a question, command Alexa to play a song, or watch a suggested show on your favorite streaming channel — all enabled by AI.
