general practice message board 3Shape TRIOS 3 Clinicians sound off on new scanning technology Dentaltown.com > Message Boards > CAD-CAM and Digital Impression Technologies > Digital Impressions > 3Shape TRIOS 3 DrZ123 Just saw a video of this on YouTube. Pretty unbelievable how quick it is! Anyone seen it in real life? Opinions? ■ Member Since: 12/01/10 Post: 1 of 43 AUG 2 2015 Jvaneaton Member Since: 01/27/05 Post: 2 of 43 I did see one in real life at a digital-scanning day put on by Schein. It is quick and easy but they aren't shipping yet. Just had the iTero rep in, and the new scanner from them seems as fast but has better software. And the iTero is less up front. I'm still wondering if I can get one of my labs to buy me one. ■ AUG 2 2015 Brad Blair Member Since: 01/11/08 Post: 5 of 43 In my hands, scan speed is 95 percent user controlled. I can scan an upper right second bicuspid crown in about 20 seconds. A lower left second molar with a fat tongue and thick neck ... my worst nightmare. ■ AUG 2 2015 DrZ123 Member Since: 12/01/10 Post: 6 of 43 Related Message Boards Calling All iTero Users iTero Reasons for Not Using Intraoral Scanner Intraoral Scanner Brad, I don't find that statement to be true; obviously, the operator makes a big difference. For example, when I first got the NEVO, it was still taking 3¬-5 minutes for a prep scan. Now it is more like a minute. However, with the old E4D, no matter how skilled you were, it was 3¬-5 minutes. Same with CEREC old models versus Omnicam: the technology made faster scanning much different. The hardest part for me with the NEVO is contacts. Not sure if this is difficult with other scanners as well. Videos of the TRIOS 3 show it blowing around an arch in, like, 10 seconds; that is impossible with the NEVO or Omnicam. However, I am wondering if anyone has actually tried the TRIOS 3 in real life, because I wonder if this 10-second capture gets fine margins and contacts and such, or just a crappy model that would equal crappy restorations. ■ AUG 2 2015 Brad Blair OK, then let me rephrase: In my work, the limiting factor in speed and quality is ME. ■ Member Since: 01/11/08 Post: 8 of 43 mike k Member Since: 05/01/01 Post: 11 of 43 AUG 3 2015 With any scanner, the tough bit is getting below the height of contour for the proximal contacts. So when you see demos flying around a model of intact teeth, you've got to take that with a grain of salt. Brad is right: Some cases are just easier to scan than others, just like some teeth are easier to prep than others-all about the access. Upper bi is super easy, really quick to scan. Lower molar with a big tongue and uncooperative patient will take longer. Of course those pa-tients are also the ones that I had more missed impressions on with PVS, as well. ■ AUG 3 2015 Brad Blair Member Since: 01/11/08 Post: 13 of 43 Exactly, Mike. When we see those 22-second full arch scans, they are typically intact arches. It's those proximals with tilted teeth and all that take time and repeated efforts. ■ AUG 3 2015 Continued on p. 26 24 MAY 2016 // dentaltown.com http://www.Dentaltown.com http://www.dentaltown.com/MessageBoard/thread.aspx?a=11&s=2&f=1157&t=182494&pg=1&g=1 http://www.dentaltown.com/MessageBoard/thread.aspx?a=11&s=2&f=1157&t=228878&pg=2&g=1 http://www.dentaltown.com
