Carestream Dental launched the CS 3500 intraoral scanner in India last month. The product is a portable (one pound), powder-free, 2D and 3D color intraoral scanner that provides practitioners with the information they need to create fixed restorations.
With the CS 3500, dental professionals can acquire digital images of patients’ teeth for restorative procedures. These true color images help dental professionals distinguish tooth structures and existing restorations from gingival tissue.
3D images are displayed at a resolution of 1024 x 768 to enable clinicians to identify anatomical features including margin lines, undercuts and contact points. The CS 3500 has a built-in heater that prevents the mirror from fogging during digital impression acquisitions, reducing the amount of time required for a single scan. The CS 3500 also features a light guidance system so dentists can look at patients’ mouths directly.
