CATEGORY 30 AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST While today’s market offers a variety of intraoral scanners, many solutions focus solely on impression capture, simply replacing traditional materials while supporting only limited components of the restorative workflow. The iTero™ Lumina family distinguishes itself by enabling comprehensive data acquisition and creating a true scan-to-treatment-plan environment. The result is greater chairside efficiency, smoother restorative workflows, and more intelligent digital integrations with dental labs or in-house production, helping practices streamline care and differentiate themselves in a competitive landscape. Building on advances in scanning speed, visualisation, and patient communication, the newly released iTero™ Design Suite software delivers a suite of smart, efficiency-driven enhancements that further elevate restorative workflows. Now, iTero is taking its next step with the introduction of the iTero™ Lumina Advanced, a compact laptop-based version of its state-of-the-art Lumina intraoral scanner. This latest addition offers dentists the opportunity to invest in one of the profession’s most sophisticated digital scanning systems, without compromising the performance and precision that define the Lumina line. The iTero™ Lumina Advanced delivers the same high-level imaging capabilities as the full-scale model, with the exception of NIRI imaging, making it an accessible yet powerful choice for practices looking to adopt or expand their digital workflow. For clinicians seeking mobility, flexibility, and advanced diagnostic clarity, the iTero™ Lumina Advanced represents a thoughtfully engineered solution designed to meet the evolving demands of modern dentistry. The Lumina ecosystem and iTero™ Design Suite advantage While many scanners focus narrowly on impression capture, the Lumina system, paired with the intelligent capabilities of the iTero™ Design Suite, enables true scanto-treatment-plan functionality, powering highly accurate data acquisition, advanced visualisation, and seamless chairside collaboration: 1. Scan with iTero™ intra oral scanner for fast, sharp intraoral data capture, accompanied by patient-facing visuals. Digital impressions are 59% quicker than conventional impressions. Align launches the iTero™ Lumina Advanced, bringing a compact laptop-based version to the Lumina lineup INNOVATIONS References 1. Only available on iTero™ Lumina series, Element 5D Plus imaging systems (full and Lite software configurations). iTero™ Element 5D Imaging systems include iTero™ Element 5D and iTero™ Element 5D Plus series scanners. 2.

Produce the restorations through direct milling or 3D printing – enabling a fully closed-loop workflow within your practice. Explore the powerful new features The newly released iTero™ Design Suite software includes several powerful features that support a range of restorative workflows: u Model creation. Design dental models with customisable features such as adjustable heights, choice of articulation, model base type, patient name labelling (for easy reference), and the option to add drain holes for printing, among other functions u Splint module. Design digital splints with direct integration to computeraided manufacturing (CAM), enabling either milling or 3D printing. u Crown and bridge. Design crowns, bridges, veneers, and inlays/onlays with seamless CAM integration for both milling and printing workflows. u Smile mock-ups. Create visual smile representations for patient communication (e.g., before-and-after views), lab communication for final restorations, and as a foundation for composite veneers or temporaries while awaiting the final ceramic restorations from the dental lab. The diagnostic dream Whether expanding your digital capabilities or just starting out with intraoral scanning, the iTero™ Lumina Advanced offers a smart, f o r wa r d - t h i n k i n g solution. It can boost efficiency, elevate patient satisfaction, and strengthen your practice’s performance. The iTero™ Lumina is more than a replacement for analogue impressions – it brings a full diagnostic workflow chairside.
