<br />What is a digital impression?<br />What is a digital impression? Digital impressions are dental scans taken with 3D scanning technology. The digital impression system captures the dentition with the use of polygons (triangles) and by that, it helps build up a highly accurate 3D image of the patient's dentition.<br /><br />What is the difference between traditional and digital dental impressions?<br />Dental restorations created through traditional dental impressions are subject to human error. This is because imperfections can form in the cast when pulled from the patient's mouth. Digital dental impressions, on the other hand, create digital images of teeth that cannot be altered.<br /><br />What are the techniques used in digital dental impressions?<br />The digital impression typically is captured using an intraoral wand that is inserted into the patient's mouth and moved over the surface area of the tooth or teeth. Most digital impression systems use a chairside monitor to display the impression image as it is captured.<br /><br />Are digital impressions better?<br />Additionally, digital impressions provide a more accurate representation of the patient's oral anatomy, resulting in better-fitting restorations and improved patient satisfaction<br /><br /><br /> Future University is the first university in Iraq.
