This Scanner is an excellent advancement in digital impressions technology. The digital impression system provides a powerful connection and improved productivity for any doctor and their dental lab.
Digital impressions are the future. More and more dentists and laboratories are using them as they not only help to increase productivity they also assist in preparing your lab for the future.

How does the Lava™ Chairside Oral Scanner Work?
The Lava™ Chairside Oral scanner is unique. It is the only scanner on the market which uses video footage to create a 3D impression. Using 3D-in-Motion technology the scanner captures continuous 3D video images which then build a highly accurate digital impression. This allows doctors to assess the preparation and margin before sending it to the lab. This will help to reduce remakes as well as improving the patient’s experience.

What are the benefits?
The scanner gives you the ability to outsource with confidence. It is technology which is the result of innovative, revolutionary hardware design, high-speed image processing algorithms and robust, real-time modelling software. Plus you’ll also benefit from these great features.

  • A compact lightweight design. The wand weighs just 14 ounces and the wand tip is only 13.2 mm wide - maximising manoeuvrability.
  • High Speed Image Processing Algorithms.
  • The wand contains a highly complex optical system comprised of multiple lenses and blue LED cells so it captures massive amounts of visual images in just seconds. 
  • The ability to capture 20 3D data sets per second or close to 2,400 data sets per arch.
  • Being able to immediately assess whether enough information has been captured for a completed digital impression.
