Online published on 31 August, 2017. Abstract 3D digitization technology, commonly known as Intra oral scanning method is a modern approach than traditional impression methods in dentistry. Utilization of 3D digitization results in accurate mapping of oral cavity and eliminates number of procedures for making dental prosthesis. The software is designed in such a way that results in high accurate 3D image of oral cavity, which will be displayed on the monitor screen. Intra oral scanners works as a revolution that changes the way dentists and dental laboratories practice dental scanning. Intraoral scanning is consistently better when it comes to accuracy than are impression materials. With an intraoral scanner, doctors can cutback many of the consumables associated with traditional impressions, including plastic trays, alginate powder and PVS materials. This not only keeps these harmful plastics out of landfills, but keeps more money in a doctor's pocket. There are many intraoral scanners to choose from. Deciding on which one might be as simple as feel, newly updated advances, ease of use, or ancillary costs. They have numerous benefits to doctors, staff and patients such as less mess, less time and faster turnaround with the lab. Dentists who have adopted the technology are universally pleased, reporting better accuracy, faster seat times, and in some cases, lower lab fees. Intra-oral scanners will definitely play a central role in digital dentistry in the near future.
