Digital dental equipment refers to equipment that uses digital technology for oral treatment and care, covering the entire process from diagnosis to treatment, aiming to provide patients with more comprehensive and optimized diagnosis and treatment plans. These devices mainly include the following categories:
Oral CBCT: used for three-dimensional reconstruction of the internal structure of the oral cavity to help doctors make accurate diagnoses and treatment plans.
Intraoral scanner: obtains high-definition images of the inside of the oral cavity through non-contact scanning technology, which is used to make personalized restorations and treatment plans.
CAD (computer-aided design) and CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) equipment: used to design and manufacture restorations such as crowns and bridges, greatly shortening the production time and improving the accuracy.
3D printer: especially chairside 3D printers, such as Edge mini, can print restorations on site, greatly improving the diagnosis and treatment efficiency and patient experience.
AI oral self-examination instrument: analyzes oral images through artificial intelligence algorithms, quickly diagnoses problems such as tartar and gingivitis, and provides detailed inspection reports and suggestions. Smart toothbrush: Integrated micro-endoscopic camera and AI recognition technology, it can detect oral health status during brushing.
Application scenarios of digital dental equipment
Digital dental equipment is widely used in various oral diagnosis and treatment scenarios, including:
Diagnosis: Through high-precision scanning and image processing technology, doctors can quickly and accurately diagnose oral problems.
Treatment plan formulation: Combined with the patient's specific condition, formulate a personalized treatment plan.
Restoration production: Using 3D printing technology, crowns, bridges and other restorations are produced on-site to shorten the treatment cycle.
Daily oral health monitoring: Smart toothbrushes and AI self-checkers can help patients monitor their oral health at home.
