Ivoclar Vivadent To Launch New Scanners in U.S.
Ivoclar Vivadent will launch two new scanning solutions in the United States in the second quarter of 2021. The intraoral scanners, powered by 3Shape, will enable clinicians to deliver accurate, aesthetic restorations.

PrograScan One scanners, designed to integrate with the PrograMill One milling machine, will use artificial intelligence technology to automatically remove soft-tissue artifacts from digital impressions. With the ability to record the patient’s dynamic occlusion, clinicians can ensure that the restorations have the best possible fit. The detailed color scan and shade measurement and enhanced scanning speed round off the accurate scanning experience.

The PrograScan One+ scanner will offer all of the above and also provide optimized handling with wireless scanning technology.
