Medit recently introduced the Medit i500 intraoral scanner.
The open system for integrated CAD/CAM workflow allows for the export of STL files for easy file transfer, according to the company website. It features an intelligent scan-detecting algorithm with two high-speed cameras for quick and efficient intraoral scanning. There is no need for powder in most cases, which allows for a seamless scanning process and increased patient comfort.
The accurate system also offers high resolution, with easy to locate margin lines and undercuts as well as distinction between tooth structure and soft tissue. The 3D full color streaming capture offers precise scans and detail-rich images.
The lightweight scanner’s 3D-in-motion video technology provides rapid video-based scans. Not only is it easy to hold, a small tip allows for simpler maneuverability and improved patient comfort. Users can start, stop, and move to the next scanning stage by pressing a single button on the device.
The system’s software is easy to understand and to incorporate into a dental practice.
