•Cadent iTero features parallel confocal imaging, which utilizes laser and optical scanning to digitally capture the surface and contours of the tooth and gum structure.
•
The iTero scanner captures 100,000 points of laser light in perfect focus at 300 focal depths of the tooth structure. These focal depth images are spaced approximately 50 microns apart.
• Parallel confocal scanning with the iTero system captures all elements and materials found in the mouth without the need for scanning powder. Because there is no tooth coating, the iTero system can operate with contact scanning techniques.
• These unique features of confocal scanning enable iTero to capture both supragingival and subgingival preparations.
• Shoulder, chamfer, and feather edge preparations designs can be utilized both supragingival and subgingival.
• iTero is the first digital impression system capable of full-arch impressions.
