An IOS is a devise designed to scan the oral cavity, thus showing a 3D image of the scanned data on to the monitor.
It is called optical impression and can detect and capture even the smallest details, allowing the user to obtain necessary data.
This will allow both doctors and technicians to exchange information with ease.
This is the future for the dental solution, with less stress for the patients.
Models for each patients must be kept as records, but there are risk involved such as chipping and deterioration of models.
Since the quantity of models that must be kept as records are large, it is not efficient cost-wise as well.
But with 3D data, there is not need for physical storing space.
Any data can be printed out as 3D printed models, and even in cases of damaged or lost models, if you have the data, they can be printed out again.
dental BiOVISION can work with every IOS system available in the country.
By using IOS
Reduced chair time
Reduced cost
Reduced time on disinfection
Same great quality and delivery time even from a lab far away
High accuracy
Visualize the process on the spot
Compared to the old impression taking technique, IOS can reduce the chair time,
since there is not need to disinfect trays, mix impression materials nor wait for the impression to set.
Since it’s digital data, it is highly unlikely to have any issues with accuracy and can reduce technical error to minimum.
Visualization of the scanned image on the monitor can also allow rescanning to be done right away, if there is a scanning error.
Everything is done digitally, so you only need necessary data to check the design process.
By using 3Shape communicate or TeamViewer, it is also possible to check the design from remote areas.
By using IOS, there is no need for impression materials and dental stones.
Also, it will reduce the handling time and cost spent on shipping fees.
dental BiOVISION’s recommendation
SHOFU S-WAVE scan body
We try to do all IOS cases in a model-less manner.
From what we have done, with accurate scanned data, 12-unit bridge cases, implant cases and even full mouth cases can be done in a model-less manner.
*But for a multi-implant cases, you will need to have an IOS index obtained separately from the IOS data.
In general, most non-casting materials are available.
The final material used for model-less cases are generally Monolithic Zirconia (Full Zirconia).
Other materials include PMMA, hybrid ceramic resin, denture-base resin, clear stent resin, glass ceramic, Pekkton and titanium are also available.
Full Zirconia crowns and bridges, Zirconia inlays and onlays, screw-retained Zirconia, Cement-retained full Zirconia, custom abutments (titanium, Zirconia, Pekkton), Provisional crowns and bridges, implant Provisionals, hybrid resin crowns and bridges, Pekkton cores, dentures and guide stents.
All the above are available model-less, but 3D printed models are required for cases with layering design.
Yes, it is possible. We can design setups, implant placement plans, diagnostics for crowns and laminated veneers using CAD software and superposition them to 2D images or to 3D face scan data and perform three-dimensional diagnosis.
We will send you the design data through screen shots or by video. If required, we will send you 3D printed models of the designed data.
All scan body, library and titanium base are linked, so using the correct scan body is important.
Please be aware that using the wrong scan body can cause errors during fabrication. Also each implant systems are different, so please contact us to discuss the matter.
It usually takes 2 weeks from the date of receiving the data, but it also depends on number of units and the design, so please contact us.

After login, please open Connection page, enter dentalbiovision from Add Connection.
Once done with Add Connection, please activate TRIOS and go to [Settings] then choose dentalbiovision from [Connecting Lab], then open [communicate settings] and type in registered email address and password to complete the setup.
For a new patient choose [New Scan], if already registered to iTero choose [Patients] and enter patients' info.
When entering ★ section, choose [Prosthodontics] as the case type and choose [dental BiOVISION,INC] as the recipient.
Now you can enter details on prosthesis.
Scanner increases the accuracy of the scan during die scanning process, so please be aware of the margin.
Choosing [Pre-Treatment Scan] allows you to scan two components, so for implant cases, both soft tissue and scan body must be scanned, and for copy, both die and part that are being copied must be scanned at the same time.
*In order to superposition both data, please select wider area for scanning.
Once finished with taking images, clicking [check & send] will send the data to us.
Go to https://www.medit.com and open [Medit Link login].
