The 3Shape TRIOS® dental intraoral scanner is a hand-held 3D scanning tool that is redefining the fundamentals of digital impression techniques in the dental industry. One of the most important aspects of the 3Shape TRIOS dental intraoral scanner is the impact it has on a patient's overall dental experience.
Curious about how the innovative 3Shape TRIOS dental intraoral scanner can benefit you as a dental patient?
Take a look at some of the following key advantages of this groundbreaking dental technology
When compared to the traditional molding techniques that often cause high levels of discomfort in patients, the 3Shape TRIOS® dental intraoral scanner offers a far more quick and convenient method of getting an accurate image of a patient's teeth in order to create an impression. Instead of forcing a patient to remain seated in a chair for fifteen minutes to complete the impression procedure, the 3Shape TRIOS® dental intraoral technology can scan teeth wirelessly in a matter of seconds and without the use of powder, which helps save time and decrease patient discomfort to a large degree.
The 3Shape TRIOS® dental intraoral scanners allow dentists to display a patient's 3D-impression of their teeth on a screen almost immediately after the scan is complete. After seeing an up-close view of a digital impression, patients can grasp a better understanding of the condition of their teeth. The scanner also develops impressions in full color to aid the dialogue between the dentist and his or her patient, and improve treatment.
The 3Shape TRIOS® dental intraoral scanner is highly versatile and able to service a wide range of different dental treatments, such as:
Restorations made from 3Shape TRIOS® dental intraoral scanners are not only completed faster, they are also delivered with a more accurate fit and require less adjustments. These scanners have the ability to measure the shapes of teeth for digital precision while also highlighting details with the incorporation of high-level HD pictures in the 3D model. In addition, the precision of 3Shape TRIOS® dental intraoral scanners reduces the need for remakes, so patients don't have to worry about coming back to the dentist for a do-over.

“When it comes to dental implants, there's no way to prevent biological aging,” said Dr. Takahiro Ogawa, Professor in the Division of Regenerative and Reconstructive Sciences and Weintraub Center for Reconstructive Biotechnology at UCLA School of Dentistry. “Over time, surfaces become carbonized and covered with a pellicle, like teeth. Just like dental pellicle prevents tooth re-mineralization and provides the foundation for oral bacterial biofilm, the implant pellicle significantly compromises osseointegration and increases the attraction of oral bacteria.” Ogawa continued.
Both factors compromise the osseointegration capability by 55%. Bone-to-implant contact is compromised by 60%. And the number of osteogenic cells attached to the implant is compromised by 65%. However, DIO has discovered a way to reverse all of it. By placing an implant into a VUV (vacuum UV) Activator, the photofunctionalization decarbonizes the titanium and effectively removes the pellicle. Osseointegration increases to 98% bone-to-contact capability compared to 53% with the untreated implant.
“One-minute VUV treatment maximizes osteoblast attachment and minimizes biofilm development,” Ogawa added. “It enables 3 times faster osseointegration in the early healing stage.”
After just one minute of exposure, the new surface hydrophilicity drastically improves blood flow, and there's 5 times greater protein absorption to the implant surface. It provides implants with near-perfect bone-implant contact, and the VUV treatment also increases interfacial adhesion between various materials. Crowns, bridges, and implant access holes become clean for a bacteria-free delivery while cementing strength escalates by nearly 30 times.
“DIO created this next-generation UV technology,” said Matt Hendrickson, Senior Vice President at DIO USA. “With this process, you get better than a brand-new implant every time. One minute is all it takes,” Hendrickson concluded.
