ABSTRACT

Intraoral scanners (IOS) have revolutionized the field of dentistry, offering a cutting-edge alternative to traditional impression methods. These innovative devices enable dentists to capture highly accurate digital impressions of a patient's teeth and surrounding tissues, streamlining the treatment process and enhancing patient care. Recent years have witnessed notable IOS technology advancements, characterized by hardware innovations and software breakthroughs. These developments improved intraoral scanning efficiency and accuracy in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM), which remains IOS’s most common use case.

Keywords: Intraoral scanners (IOS), computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM), Dentistry.
