Trios 3Shape – Intraoral scanner for mass-free digital molding
The ImplArt Dental Clinic is constantly investing in modern technologies that are sure to make dental treatments faster, more precise and more comfortable. So, for those patients who can’t take a cast at the dentist, there are alternatives! The good news is that new digital molding treatments allow pure zirconia prostheses or pure porcelain crowns to be made using computerized molding.
This applies to treatments with individual dental implants and single dental crowns, as well as fixed prostheses and protocol prostheses in Pure Zirconia. It can also be used for dental contact lenses.
What is an intraoral scanner?
The ImplArt dental clinic was one of the first dental clinics in Brazil to acquire the new intraoral scanner for taking color and computerized digital impressions, the Trios Scanner from the Danish company 3Shape. Our Trios scanner uses CAD/CAM technology to:
- Intraoral scanning and three-dimensional molding of dental implants and teeth in color.
- High-precision color imaging of teeth and gums using an integrated intraoral scanner.
- Measurement of tooth shades while scanning, allowing for more accurate and predictable results.
- The Trios 3Shape system has a high-resolution multi-touch screen that makes it easy to work with and understand the patient.

Digital molding allows the design and execution of different dental treatments such as:
- Dentalcrowns and their various types
- Fixed or mobilebridges
- Computerized dental prosthesis in monolithic zirconia
- Partial restorations (e.g. onlays and inlays)
- Dental contact lenses and veneers
- Single or pontic prostheses on dental implants
- Provisional elements
- Invisalign braces

Advantages of the intraoral scanner for digital molding compared to conventional putty molding:
Comfort – the use of the intraoral scanner allows for faster and more comfortable molding for the patient, especially for those who report distress when using molding materials in the oral cavity.
Predictability of results – reading the different shades of the patient’s teeth allows restorations to be made that reproduce these same shades, leaving them looking natural as a whole smile. A recent joint study found that the Trios shade measurement is more reliable than that of the human eye.
Integration – the 3Shape system enables integrated communication between the dentist (requester) and the dental laboratory (executor).
