*How: With NIRI technology, the iTero Element 5D Plus Imaging system aids in the detection of interproximal caries. Its other diagnostic tools include occlusion assessment with the Occlusogram function, an integrated intraoral camera, and the ability to analyze oral health changes over time with TimeLapse technology. The system is said to capture images with just one 60-second scan. It features open connectivity with dental laboratories and other third-party partners for the sharing of patient information. Scan assistance allows for auto-margin marking and auto-trimming of excess tissue. The system also smoothly integrates with the exocad suite of CAD/CAM applications for a completely digital workflow.
