As more dentists and orthodontists adopt digital scanning in their practices, Minnesota-based 3M Digital Oral Care has unveiled the redesigned 3M True Definition Scanner. Due to be released this autumn in tandem with new software, it includes a new wand that is the smallest on the market.
The new scanner is built for fast scanning; an adept user can scan a diagnostic arch in as little as 60sec. With its narrow, angled tip and slim profile, the new wand allows for
one-hand scanning, while the small profile and short scanning time make the system more comfortable for dentists, orthodontists and patients.
David Frazee, general manager of 3M Digital Oral Care, said: “The digital world continues to move incredibly fast, so we continuously draw on the 3M innovation engine to bring fresh ideas to the table. Not only is this wand the smallest on the market, but it’s designed to be incredibly intuitive, comfortable to hold and easy to use.”
