Intraoral Scanners in Dentistry
Özet
Objective: To review the technological development, working principles, clinical applications, and advantages of intraoral scanners in dentistry.
Material and Methods: Intraoral scanner technologies were comparatively evaluated in terms of hardware components (light sources, optical sensors), software features (open/closed systems, AI integration), and leading market manufacturers.
Results: Intraoral scanners increase patient comfort, save time, and enable real-time visualization of digital models compared to conventional impression methods. AI-powered software (automatic margin detection, caries diagnosis) is progressively enhancing diagnostic capabilities. Main disadvantages include high cost, learning curve, and technical challenges in moist environments.
Discussion: Scanners facilitate digital workflows in orthodontics, prosthodontics, and implant planning. However, device selection depends on the practice's primary use and budget.
Conclusion: Advancements in AI technologies will strengthen the role of intraoral scanners in modern dentistry by enhancing diagnostic accuracy and treatment efficiency.
Amaç: Diş hekimliğinde ağız içi tarayıcıların teknolojik gelişimini, çalışma prensiplerini, klinik uygulamalarını ve avantajlarını incelemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ağız içi tarayıcı teknolojileri, donanım bileşenleri (ışık kaynakları, optik sensörler), yazılım özellikleri (açık/kapalı sistemler, yapay zeka entegrasyonu) ve piyasadaki öncü firmalar açısından karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Ağız içi tarayıcılar, geleneksel ölçü yöntemlerine kıyasla hasta konforunu artırmakta, zaman tasarrufu sağlamakta ve dijital modellerin anlık görüntülenmesine olanak tanımaktadır. Yapay zeka destekli yazılımlar (otomatik bitiş çizgisi tespiti, çürük teşhisi) tanısal yetenekleri giderek artırmaktadır. Başlıca dezavantajlar yüksek maliyet, öğrenme eğrisi ve nemli ortamlarda karşılaşılan teknik zorluklardır.
Tartışma: Tarayıcılar, ortodonti, protetik diş tedavisi ve implant planlamasında dijital iş akışını kolaylaştırmaktadır. Ancak cihaz seçimi, kliniğin öncelikli kullanım amacına ve bütçesine bağlıdır.
Sonuç: Yapay zeka teknolojilerindeki ilerlemeler, ağız içi tarayıcıların tanısal doğruluğunu ve tedavi verimliliğini artırarak modern diş hekimliğindeki rolünü güçlendirecektir.
