The compact, ergonomic design is similar to rechargeable tablets that
patients and clinicians use in their daily lives, allowing clinicians to
move freely between operatories without power cords or carts. Flexible
mounting options help to minimize workspace clutter, offering more space
for the clinician and assistant to maneuver in small spaces. Informed
discussion and visual patient communication is made easy with a system
that can be placed directly into the hands or lap of a patient, where
they can experience a cutting-edge digital visualization of their oral
anatomy, and ultimately, a better understanding of proposed treatments.
With easy setup – users can unbox and scan in less than an hour – the 3M
Mobile True Definition Scanner can seamlessly integrate into the
practice.
“The 3M Mobile True Definition Scanner takes the patient experience to
another level,” said Karen Burquest, digital oral care global business
director at 3M Oral Care. “This scanner offers clinicians the
flexibility to place the tablet in the patient’s hands so they can
experience unprecedented access, while the clinician educates them about
the treatment process. Because the tablet is compact and operates on
battery, clinicians can easily hand carry the scanner between
operatories. This scanner will impact the landscape of digital
dentistry.”
Developed with the tradition of 3M science in mind, this new scanner is
designed to deliver convenience for practitioners, as well as a
memorable visual experience for the patient. “At 3M Oral Care, we are
committed to inventing new products and processes that will positively
impact a patients’ oral health for years to come,” concluded Burquest.
Restorations created from scans are proven to be accurate – and more
consistently accurate – than other leading intraoral scanners, with a
99.7 percent fit rate.1 This paired with the smallest wand on
the market means scanning with this system is not only comfortable for
clinician and patient alike, it delivers precision clinicians can trust.
With a low-price entry into digital impressioning at just $16,995, this
new mobile scanner fits the size, mobility, practice requirements and
budget needs of practitioners. The decision to adopt digital scanning
just got a little easier.
