Traditional scarring methods can be both uncomfortable for patients and prolong the laboratory process. At Klinik34, we use the innovative 3D intraoral scanning technology offered by digital dentistry to increase comfort and shorten the treatment time. In this article, we will detail the advantages of digital scanning, the application steps at Klinik34 and what it can mean for you.
What is 3D Intraoral Scanning?
- Description and Working Principle
With intraoral scanners, tooth and gum tissue is digitally captured using a light or laser source. The result is a 3D model with millimeter precision. - Comparison with Traditional Tracking
The plaster scar materials used in traditional methods are time-consuming and may sometimes require repetition. However, digital scanning is completed in a single session.
Digital Screening Process at Klinik34
- Preparation and Patient Information
Digital X-rays showing the current oral conditions are taken from our patients and the treatment plan is evaluated in advance. - Scanner Docking
The intraoral scanner is oriented close to the tooth surfaces. The scanner collects data using gentle vibration and a photo array. - Snapshot Review
The resulting 3D model is instantly displayed on the screen; if there is a missing or distorted area, it is immediately rescanned. - Digital Design
Specialist orthodontists and prosthodontists design a virtual orthodontic plate or crown-bridge based on the scan data. - Production and Final Inspection
After design approval, prosthetic parts or plates are produced on CAD/CAM machines. When the production is completed, the fit is checked in the mouth.
Advantages of Digital Scanning
- Comfort and Speed
Plaster scar pain is eliminated; digital recording is completed in a single session. - Sensitivity
Micron-level accuracy ensures a perfect fit of the prostheses. - Short Lead Time
Digital data transfer speeds up the laboratory phase and shortens treatment time. - Digital Archive
Model data can be stored digitally, enabling rapid reproduction if necessary.
Equipment and Software Used in Klinik34
- Advanced Intraoral Scanners
Breathable and sterilizable scanner models that can take hundreds of slices per second. - CAD/CAM Systems
Integrated platforms from design to production; zirconium, composite, ceramic block processing capability. - Digital Planning Software
Orthodontic movement simulation, bone structure analysis and aesthetic design modules.
Who is it Suitable for?
- People in Need of Orthodontic Treatment
The transparent plate is ideal for fast braces or lingual method planning. - Patients Requiring Prosthetic Solutions
The crown-bridge is preferred in implant prosthetic planning in order to take precise measurements. - Patients with High Aesthetic Expectations
Thanks to digital simulations, you can preview your smile design at the end of treatment.
Patient Experience and Satisfaction
- Pain and Discomfort Reduced
The smell of printing plaster, the feeling of blockage disappears. - Short Appointment Times
Since the patient is registered in one session, no additional appointments are scheduled. - Visualization Possibility
Patients can see the results of their treatment with a 3D model, increasing their confidence in the process.
