Digital dental equipment covers the full‑cycle clinical workflow from diagnosis, treatment planning to prosthesis fabrication. It can be sorted into six main categories including image‑acquiring hardware, treatment‑assisting devices and simulation training systems.
1. Image‑Capture Devices
1.1 Intra‑Oral Scanner (Digital Dental Impression Scanner)
It captures three‑dimensional data of teeth and gum tissues through direct intra‑oral scanning. Its open‑format scanned data is compatible with designing software for dental restoration and orthodontics. Certain models are built‑in with an intra‑oral camera and meet clinical infection‑control specifications.
1.2 3D Dental Scanning Hardware
It is divided into two applicable scenarios:
Desktop Model Scanner: It completes high‑precision 3D reconstruction for physical plaster models, supporting the digital manufacturing of fixed and removable dentures.
Intra‑Oral Scanner: Equipped with a mini‑sized optical probe, it scans the oral cavity in‑situ and generates real‑time 3D models of dental arches.
2. Clinical‑Aid Equipment
2.1 Dental Operating Microscope
Delivering 6‑40‑times magnification and auxiliary lighting, this device assists delicate procedures such as tooth restoration and root‑canal therapy. It greatly improves the precision and success rate of microsurgery.
2.2 CAD/CAM Dental System for Digital Impression
It enables chair‑side immediate restoration. After scanning the prepared tooth, clinicians generate restoration schemes via bionic design software. Matched high‑speed milling machines can fabricate dental restorations within several minutes.
3. Educational & Simulation Training System
The digital‑dental virtual‑reality training platform creates an immersive practice environment. Trainees can practise tooth preparation and implant surgery simulation. It effectively lowers risks during hands‑on clinical teaching.
4. Precision CNC Processing Machines
Dental digital milling devices are classified into 3‑axis, 4‑axis and 5‑axis models based on numerical‑control configurations. They deliver high‑efficiency and accurate machining for surgical implant guides, denture frameworks and other dental workpieces.
