How is TRIOS® different from other digital impression systems on the market?
TRIOS® is spray-and-powder-free for optimal accuracy and patient comfort. The scanner provides complete motion and positioning freedom and the large touch screen shows live visualization as you scan. The dentist can edit scans and easily rescan specific areas instead of starting over when initial results show unwanted details such as scanned blood.

What do you think have been the biggest hurdles to more general dentists embracing intraoral scanning and how does TRIOS® make those easier to overcome?
Some worry about the time and effort required to integrate new technology in the clinic. TRIOS® is very easy to learn to use. We have heard a number of dentists say that their assistants can scan just as well as they can after only brief instructions. Most dentists don’t just want a scanner, but new workflows that truly open new ways to improve efficiency in the clinic. Unlike many other digital impression systems, labs can receive TRIOS® impressions minutes after scanning and immediately start designing the model and restoration. TRIOS® contains tools supporting the full workflow, including efficient communication with the lab and exchange of case data in 3D.
