Carestream Dental is pleased to announce that, due to the high degree of accuracy of the CS 3600 intraoral scanner, it has been certified by OraMetrix Inc. for use with its suresmile® technology. The integration of scans captured by the CS 3600 with suresmile software opens up new digital workflow options to orthodontists for case planning, combining 3D diagnostic imaging with computerized treatment planning and robotic archwire customization.

As a new freestanding digital dental company, Carestream Dental helps doctors make smart choices for their practices, whether they’re looking for equipment or software solutions. At the ADA Annual Meeting, Carestream Dental is showcasing both the latest intelligent scanning features of its CS 3600 intraoral scanner and new practice management solutions that make everyday workflow more intuitive.

A healthy, 52-year-old female patient—with no relevant medical background, moderate previous dental restorations and generally good oral hygiene—had had LL6, LL7 and LR6 extracted 15-20 years ago. For the majority of that time, this loss in dentition did not impact her lifestyle. Recently, however, she was having issues with eating. The adjacent teeth were starting to drift and the opposing teeth on the other side were erupting, creating a functional problem rather than an aesthetic one.

The new intelligent scanning features of the CS 3600 make it easier to capture scans correctly on the first try, making scanning more efficient and resulting in higher quality scans before they’ve even been rendered. Missing information is color coded to indicate either holes or gaps and guide arrows recommend the best direction to scan to recapture the data. The ability to scan in high-resolution also improves quality and clinical details.
