Shining 3D - Aoralscan Elite: A Technical and Clinical Overview of the Elite Intraoral Scanner

In this video, Enzo hosts Gustavo, support supervisor at Shining 3D in Latin America, and Patricia Calgaro, a dentist with 25 years of experience and 9 years working with scanning, for a practical conversation about Aoralscan Elite, photogrammetry, and facial scanning within the digital dental workflow. 00:00 Introduction: Presentation of Gustavo and Patrícia 00:18 How Shining 3D demonstrations work 00:27 Patrícia's experience with the Elite scanner 00:51 What is Elite and integrated photogrammetry 03:17 History of Shining 3D and its industrial origins 03:59 For whom does Elite make the most sense? 04:16 Premium price and financial return in the protocol 05:35 Lab pain points with scans without photogrammetry 06:27 Why normal scanning fails in protocols 08:07 Facial scanner and its use in the digital workflow 09:06 How technology helps the lab 09:50 Expectations with more precision and less time The main focus of the conversation is to understand what changes when photogrammetry ceases to be a separate piece of equipment and becomes integrated into the intraoral scanner. Gustavo explains the origins of this technology in industrial scanning, how it was miniaturized for dental use, and why the Aoralscan Elite makes more sense for professionals working with protocols and implant-supported rehabilitation cases. Patricia brings the perspective of someone in clinical practice who also understands the needs of the laboratory. She discusses her first experience with the scanner, the importance of speed, ease of handling, and, above all, the role of photogrammetry in improving alignment, reducing error-prone steps, and supporting more predictable workflows in protocols. The conversation also addresses a common pain point in full-arch cases: why conventional scanning can be lost in regions with little reference tissue, especially in lower arch cases, and how factors such as soft tissue, saliva, blood, implant spacing, and learning curve can influence the result. From this, the video shows why photogrammetry can be an important tool for those seeking greater predictability, passivity, and productivity. In addition to the Aoralscan Elite, the video also covers the Shining 3D facial scanner and its integration with digital planning. Patricia explains how 3D facial scanning can help complement the workflow with more complete patient references, going beyond 2D photos and contributing to reverse planning, communication with the laboratory, and delivery of treatments with greater precision, quality, and less time. ---------- Watch the full video and talk to the DTE team if you want to better understand how intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, facial scanning, and digital planning can transform the workflow of your clinic or laboratory. ---------- Website https://dentaltechexpert.com/en/ Email [email protected] Phone – USA +1 (469) 484-6857 +1 (980) 270-1409 Phone – Latin America +55 (41) 992-905-657 +55 (41) 987-759-012 Follow DTE Instagram:   / dental.tech.expert.en   LinkedIn:   / dentaltechexpert
