Carestream Dental recently introduced the CS 3800 intraoral scanner.
The wireless scanner makes it possible to offer a variety of treatment options and to partner with any third party, according to a press release. Light and compact, the scanner was designed in collaboration with Studio F. A. Porsche. Its slim, cordless design makes it easier to hold, providing users with a more comfortable scanning experience.
CS 3800’s field of view (FOV) has been enlarged to 16 mm x 14 mm, making it easier to capture interproximal areas and subgingival margins and to improve soft tissue scanning. It also makes scanning edentulous patients smoother. With a 21 mm depth of field, the scanner can better capture emergence profiles, deep margins and post spaces to improve image quality.
The scanner can be combined with the new CS Voyager trolley and AIO medical-grade computer, allowing it to easily travel from operatory to operatory.
The scanner’s software, CS ScanFlow 1.0.4, includes indications for restorations, implant-borne restorations, orthodontics, sleep devices and, new with this latest release of the software, dentures. This gives doctors the ability to provide treatment for more patients.
Once an impression is captured with the scanner, it can be seamlessly exported from CS ScanFlow to any number of platforms or modules, including CS Model+ v5 for orthodontic treatment planning and designing clear aligner models, the Prosthetic-driven Implant Planning module for implant planning or Swissmeda for designing surgical guides.
This latest version of the software, first introduced with the CS 3700 intraoral scanner, allows practices to choose the configuration that works best for them. A standard version of the software is available with the scanner, but clinicians can upgrade as needed.
With CS 3800, doctors can choose the components and partners that best fit their preferred workflow, leading to an open and flexible digital ecosystem.
