3Shape releases TRIOS 3 digital impression solution

3Shape released TRIOS^®3 – a significantly smaller, lighter and faster version of its award-winning intraoral scanner and digital impression solution at the 36th International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany.

3Shape TRIOS 3, the third generation of its intraoral color scanner and digital impression solution, is now available in both a pen-grip design, handle-grip and chair-mount version. The new TRIOS 3 also features an intraoral camera integrated with the high-speed 3D color intraoral scanner (digital impression solution) and a smaller and rounded scan tip for enhanced patient comfort. In addition, an automatic teeth shade measurement tool is said to allow for more accurate and predictable results.

As the dentist scans, the TRIOS automatically matches the various teeth shades and stores all the shade values together with the digital impression. This is said to eliminate the extra manual step of visually matching shades using shade guides. Auto bite registration eliminates the manual step of aligning the bite within the scan.

In addition, HD Photos reportedly enable dentists to enhance significant details and accurately set the margin line. They can use the intraoral camera to take live video and pictures to discuss treatment options with patients. The intraoral camera will be available in an upcoming TRIOS software update.

TRIOS 3 reportedly supports the widest range of dental indications – from implant bridges to removable partials - to give patients more treatment options and dentists more opportunities for quicker return on investment. Dedicated scan-workflows for specific indications are said to ensure optimal accuracy, ease of use and outstanding clinical results.

Other TRIOS models include TRIOS^® Color in its traditional shape with color scanning, shade measurement and HD photos and TRIOS^® Standard in its traditional shape with black and white scanning.
