CATEGORY AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST15 The new clinical foundation. How digital charting is reshaping scan reports. At the core of the iTero scanner software innovation like the Align Oral Health Suite is a commitment to data-driven, patientspecific care, most evident in its approach to digital charting and scan reporting. Intraoral scanning has moved far beyond impression-taking; it now serves as the foundation for comprehensive diagnostics. A single iTero scan captures a fullcolour 3D model that includes tooth anatomy, soft tissue contours, occlusion, and periodontal health markers. Clinical risks like wear, erosion, abfraction, and mobility are flagged, supporting early detection and proactive care. In fact, 81% of surveyed users agree that the iTero Lumina™ intraoral scanner helps remove barriers to adoption and utilisation.7 These insights are automatically compiled into a dynamic Scan Report8, transforming the traditional dental record into a real-time communication hub. Every tooth, every surface, every occlusal relationship can be recorded, analysed, and shared across the care team. Whether coordinating care with restorative colleagues, monitoring aligner progress, or reviewing hygiene outcomes, the scan report can help ensure that the entire care team, and the patient, stay on the same page. More than just technology The iTero software and hardware innovations are not just a set of tools; they’re a reimagining of what diagnostics can be. From “Scan to Plan” workflows and facially driven simulations to data-rich charting and reporting, the iTero Lumina scanner, software and system deliver a patient-centric, visually intuitive, and clinically rigorous experience. In a world where patients demand clarity and clinicians demand precision, the iTero Lumina scanner with the Align Oral Health Suite and other software innovations delivers both, turning the vision of a diagnostic dream into reality by aligning people, data, and outcomes in a way that is uniquely its own.
