Abstract
Unlock the future of digital dentistry with “From Tray to Touchscreen: Intraoral Scanners Explained.” Discover why intraoral scanning outperforms conventional impression trays in accuracy, patient comfort, and efficiency, and learn how scanning can be seamlessly integrated into practice by redefining team roles, training protocols, and workflow steps. Every stage of scan acquisition is addressed, starting with patient preparation and optimal retraction, moving through efficient scanning paths and error troubleshooting to ensure consistently high-quality data capture. Key features of the new Straumann SIRIOS® scanner are showcased using interactive clinical simulations, including specialized modes for crowns, implants, edentulous arches, and orthodontic applications. Ready-to-implement checklists and strategic workflows equip attendees to transition from messy trays to smooth touchscreen scans, elevating precision, efficiency, and patient satisfaction.
