1 A Digitally Perfect Orthodontic Impression

2 Changing orthodontics itero technology The ioc Scanner, a digital orthodontic impression system itero, ensures a more accurate impression from the start, which results in improved orthodontic treatment. An accurate impression is the foundation of the accurate study model required for effective treatment planning and orthodontic care. This impression step is also one of the most invasive procedures involved in orthodontic therapy, and a host of variables affect the precision of conventional impressions. The unique features of confocal scanning enable ioc to capture accurate, powder-free digital orthodontic impressions. n Laser and optical scanning n 100,000 points of laser light n Highly detailed orthodontic scan n Rapid impression capture The ioc Scanner digitally captures the contours of the dentition and the gingival structures, providing an accurate, powder-free digital orthodontic scan in just minutes. This digital impression procedure ensures a more comfortable patient experience and produces a precise scan that can be seamlessly integrated with OrthoCAD icast, OrthoCAD iq, and the suite of digital imaging solutions developed by Cadent. Benefits to the Orthodontic Practice Benefits to the Patient n Eliminates impressions, the most invasive procedure in daily orthodontic care n Less anxious impression experience n Superior accuracy with no distortion from patient movement during set, removal of impression, or disinfection n Onscreen visualization allows for immediate adjustment to create the ideal orthodontic scan the first time n No impression mess to clean up n Fewer repeat appointments n Eliminates the goop, gagging, and patient discomfort n Rapid bracket bonding appointments when combined with OrthoCAD iq The ioc Scanner, itero, uses parallel confocal imaging to digitally capture the surface and contours of the tooth and gingival structures. Through a combination of laser and optical scanning, the ioc 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 ioc Scanner captures all elements and materials found intraorally. Additionally, the ioc can operate with contact scanning techniques due to its unique powder-free scanning. These unique features of confocal scanning enable ioc to capture highly detailed information about the patient s dentition.

3 Digital Orthodontic scanning via the ioc Advantages of the ioc Confidence comes with OrthoCAD ioc n Imaging quality superior to results achieved with alginate impressions n Adults and children alike prefer the more comfortable digital impression process n Produces a more accurate dental record n ioc is easy to learn and is backed by a dedicated support staff at Cadent n Effective training process that enhances staff acceptance and practice integration Conventional Impressions vs. Digital Impressions Conventional Digital With the ability to scan full arches, the ioc allows the dental auxiliary to take accurate digital impressions in a fast, reproducible manner. Intuitive software and automated prompts allow the ioc to guide orthodontic assistants through the scanning sequence in just minutes. Real time treatment consultation can then be performed by the orthodontist with the patient and parent chairside. Optimal COnvenienCe A digital scan performed with ioc is, quite literally, digitally perfect and can be easily mastered by the orthodontic assistant in about the time required to prepare, take and pour an alginate impression. The short learning curve attributed to the ioc is supported by a thorough in-office training program that provides assistants with a better understanding of the digital workflow and the hands-on experience necessary to scan full arches in six to eight minutes. Plus, with no time devoted to preparing alginate materials or cleaning up, the time savings are predictable. Better still, the unmatched accuracy of impressions captured with the ioc means that treatment is more precise, which delivers another source of predictable time savings. n Benefits from a proven staff training technique n Eliminates the mess attributed to alginate impression procedures n Short learning curve ensures rapid practice integration The ioc technology eliminates alginate impressions the most invasive procedure that we do in daily orthodontic practice. Having the ioc solves this problem, and my staff just loves it. Dr. Barry Feldman Orthodontist, Cheshire, CT

5 Combining Accuracy + Utility The open architecture of the ioc Scanner allows users to export digital case data for integration with other OrthoCAD service offerings. When the ioc is utilized in conjunction with the OrthoCAD icast and iq services, the orthodontist has a single solution to the most pressing practice requirements. Advantages of icast include: n Quality: Pretreatment models are accepted by the ABO for certification purposes; n Diagnostics: Intuitive diagnostic tools enable better-informed clinical decisions; Predictable Results OrthoCAD iq is a computer-guided system that integrates the ioc digital impression and shows the orthodontist the prescribed position of the patient s teeth at the end-oftreatment before treatment even begins. In addition, this device allows the user to modify the end-of-treatment results in the virtual model by moving one or more teeth. The OrthoCAD iq software moves the brackets with the teeth to which they are attached in the virtual model so that orthodontists can see the placement of the brackets to achieve the intended treatment results. OrthoCAD iq is the logical conclusion to treatment that begins with the ioc digital impression! Advantages of the iq include: n Communication: On-screen visualization of the projected result aids in patient acceptance and treatment planning; n Practice Marketing: Integration of the ioc Scanner and OrthoCAD iq presents a contemporary, high-tech image for the practice; and n Speed: Using an innovative tray delivery system enables rapid placement of orthodontic brackets. n Storage: Information is stored electronically, freeing up valuable office space; n Retrieval: Patient files are instantly accessible from any computer; and n Communication: 3D data can be printed, faxed, or ed for seamless interdisciplinary communication and treatment. Indirect bonding impressions are tough impressions to get... sometimes you have to do 2, 3, or 4 impressions to get the perfect result. With the ioc Scanner it s perfect every time.
