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.
