Scanning for a Full Mouth Digital Record with the iTero Element™ intraoral scanner

[@pfft8858]

As a hygienist, I love DA's like you. You can tell you've done it a thousand times and are confident with your technique. I would love to work with you!

[@sameedsherazi]

well that was helpful, mine due tomorrow, now ik what I'd be going through 😃

[@joshuadabrowski0033]

This is so much better than the nasty gooey stuff that makes you gag. I have a sensitive gag reflex and this one doesn’t make you gag at all. This is easily the preferable option.

[@kathycamac1011]

My question is how do you clean this thing? It was used on my last week and all the sudden i got a swollen upper lip and sore. There is no protection on the wand right? Just disinfectant and on to the next patient?

[@iTeroScanner]

Thank you for your question, Kathy. There are specific cleaning guidelines and disinfecting protocols for the iTero™ scanner. In the United States, the use of an iTero Element™ 5D and 5D Plus series scanner requires the use of a full wand barrier sleeve and clip-on vent cover. Please reach out to your provider to discuss any concerns you may have regarding the use of an iTero scanner.

[@IamJenJen101]

Thank you, I was trying to remember if I got one done before and seeing the machine and how it operates is very helpful

[@amydavidson4449]

I don’t like twisting my neck to the right to watch, it’s much easier if it’s in you normal view. I like to have it on my left side. She looks like her neck hurts, I know mine does..

[@gmackinnon648]

I had this done. At North queen dental here in etobicoke Ontario for a denture for missing front bottom tooth and pulled broken molar. Will gladly say this Lazor is theway to go. New denture looked exactly as missing tooth did. Nobody can tell it's fake and the denture is a perfect firm fit. Highly recommend this procedure and north queen dental in South Etobicoke. And no I'm not being paid or work at the dental office. Just letting ppl know is all😊

[@paulusmiki9720]

I want to buy this tool. What is the name of this tool?

[@B-ch6uk]

Isn't It easier just to take an impression? Is the scanner more accurate?

[@passionsdesignstates299]

It is pretty accurate but a manual mold seems easier. Especially for the elderly. I had this done 9/2024 and it is uncomfortable due to the head size . It could be smaller with still enough window to scan from.

[@BogdanBorca]

It doesn't work on metal filler or metal dental crowns. My doctor had problems with it and said "I think because metal reflects light", then he sprayed me with some color.

[@vandamfitadora2818]

The scanner touches the gloves and into the patient's mouth??

[@os3986]

What kind of radiation does it use? How safe is it?

[@kc255025]

intra oral scanning only uses visible light, you can see it as an digital camera

[@basangbasa9923]

This is the best scanner for dental. Well as long as the Dr have a good training and have a good tissue management. Otherwise the margin will be all over the place.

[@karencarroll4896]

It took the girl scanning me almost An hr to get the impression... And the immediate is horrible

[@yendothegamer9880]

​@karencarroll4896 what do you mean by immediate?

[@OMEGALFA.]

Just be sure that the tech who scans your teeth is NOT a beginner at this or you will get ill fitting retainers like I did and then have to go through the procedure again. The scanner is only as good as the tech using it.

[@narutoworld6874]

Thank you mam , for clearing doubts

[@odotus]

Can u get the frenulum with that? Bcs if u cant then alginate still the choice for the prostatic

[@Errors404]

Does the model contain information about the invisible part inside of the teeth?

[@bjl1000]

That looks good but how does it get the correct dimensions in mm?

[@abdallah.alammar]

does it use LIDAR?

[@TwatMcGee]

it looks like a structured light scanner

[@rungwanminor6967]

Thank you for the vedio, it is very useful.

[@jimdwight558]

Great video about digital impressions. check out the video for more information. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoWrZambm7Fjr5I

[@miakim354]

You should NOT touch anything else but the patient's mouth and teeth with that hygiene gloves on. You should take off the gloves when touching the monitor and other devices in the office. It could transfer the germs from those objects to the patient's mouth with your gloves.

[@pfft8858]

Alcohol wipes are a thing

[@healthiswealth2.0]

The screen is supposed to be clean so why would you have to take off your gloves ?🤷‍♀️

[@hollyrichardson2219]

We just had training on this wonderful scanner. For those that may not be aware, for disinfection purposes, the full computer monitor can be wiped down with Cavi-wipes or SaniCloths unlike other monitors. Thank you for the wonderful helpful hints…..looking forward to using this amazing device!

[@Yeng48]

We were using these scanner and the results is awesome, very accurate. Regarding the disinfecting of the machine we used cavi wipes on all the surface before and after used. We put cling wrap on the monitor and tip used for scanning is dispossable. So no worries😊

[@KC-ft9hp]

Does this have sideffects? Like radiation poisoning?)like brain pain?

[@UtopiaBettaThanAstro]

You say that while using an iphone and probably eat processed food while

[@DestroyOfToast26]

No.

[@DMahalko]

It’s just simply a normal digital camera and light source contained inside of a waterproof wand.

[@avinashbawa7833]

Thanks doc

[@rjoseph2095]

Can I get the transcript?

[@iTeroScanner]

You can view the transcript by clicking "Show Transcript" in the video description. Thank you!

[@Rimseair]

I needed it..

[@sarathanayadi]

Taking too much time.. make impression on rubber putty material and use a CAD-CAM simple

[@lorrainesyratt6317]

Many people have gag reflex issues with mini panic attacks. I had this used on me for that purpose and it was great. I'd rather pay more and not have that feeling of drowning.

[@barbomb91]

​@@lorrainesyratt6317hi! Sorry, I know it's been a while but I have terrible gag reflex and the old school trays give me panic attacks. Did you feel thia scanner was too big? Did it give you any type of issue with the upper back teeth and the tongue? By the video I feel it's huge and I wonder if I'll be able to sit through it

[@lorrainesyratt6317]

@@barbomb91I'm terrible at the dentist. Cant even handle xrays ... so cumbersome in the back of your mouth. I had no issues with the digital scan .... no panic attacks, no feeling of drowning, no gagging. Night and day. Let us know how you make out. Good luck.

[@wellarsnkurunziza1162]

Didn't using ×ray?

[@alexanderi7332]

No it doesn’t use x ray

[@rajukomma7255]

Cost of machine

[@Mich5lie]

ours was 80k

[@ahlam5462]

❤️

[@roselandroshni7891]

Wow..😮😮

[@__KNOX__]

I am n have been a dental technician for longer than the peopl selling you these things… THEY ARE NOT GOOD. ITERO is a cartoon in a real life world.. do not use them.. best are TRIOS AND PRIME SCANNERS. DOCTORS please please please listen to me I have no dog in this fight but to say the truth itero and dandy are the absolute worst. U will lose patience and labs

[@aidmulalic7082]

they did it to me and it hurt a lot even though I was under anesthesia

[@alexanderi7332]

It doesn’t hurt if u do it right and gently

[@mohanthaapa6292]

I hurt my infront teeth when I did 3 D scan

[@jamesr2012]

Same absolutely horrific

[@passionsdesignstates299]

Whoever came up with 😅the prototype needs to be put in the back of the class. That is too much going in someone's mouth, uncomfortable due to the head size and the multiple attempts to get the necessary views.

[@parimalachandrakumar2649]

It will pain

[@alexanderi7332]

No it’s not

[@alycaaoficialandra4474]

Ma duc la dentist sa imi fac dinti si ma capat de vreo hepatita

[@muhammedsultan1776]
