In simplest terms, digital dental impressions are computerized molds of the patients’ oral cavity created using an intraoral scanner. The intraoral scanning wand is inserted into a patient’s mouth where it emits and captures painless pulses of light to automatically record the size and shape of each tooth, as well as gingival tissue and bite. As you scan a patient’s mouth, the data is processed by software running on a nearby monitor–where it instantly stitches together a 3D, color, manipulable rendering of the patient’s mouth including occlusal relationships.
