Single Click Launches Shining3D CAD Program

Shining3d has a projector and a single camera that takes photos of the surfaces it is scanning. at first, you may think this is a shortcoming, but in many ways, it dramatically reduces errors a new user can introduce.

in the early days of cerec, all you needed to do was capture the margins and the area above the height of contours of the adjacent teeth. This made the try-in and the contacts really easy as the design software just dropped straight a straight wall down to make contacts to. same concept here!

also, after you image and place margins, A SINGLE CLICK takes you to design software where you can finish the case and mill it right away.

Virtual Extractions for Overdenture with Shining 3D

upper denture duplicated with shining 3d. only needed the occlusal and buccal surfaces as the case is for a lower overdenture over immediate extractions, on healed implants. went ahead and just duped the whole denture with the ios. very good results

took off lower temps and scanned lower jaw. remaining teeth were used for long term temp abutments while implants healed. digital extractions performed and right vertical dimension for digital prosthesis design

Full Arch Scan by The Shining 3D Aoralscan

In this video we demonstrate how the Aoralscan can complete a full arch scan utilizing the basic principles of digital impressioning.

Proper retraction, isolation, and scanning technique lead to high quality, error free models.

Lower First Molar Deep Margins Scanned by Shining AoralScan

In this video we demonstrate how the Aoralscan from Shinning 3D captures deep margins.

An old PFM crown warranted replacement due to open margins and recurrent decay. After the crown was removed, the margins were refined and the tissue was displaced with expasyl and retraction cord.

This video is deliberately captured slowly so a new user can appreciate how to hold the camera to capture the margins and the contacts of the adjacent teeth. You also have the opportunity to place your own margins and the path of draw before submit the case to the lab.

Shining 3D Aoralscan Sample Meshwork

This case was scanned by two different scanners. Once by the Medit i500 and another time with the Aoralscan. Both the meshes are included so you can compare the two. It was scanned to deliver a case that retrofits a partial denture

Upper Right First Molar Scanned with the Shining 3D Intra-Oral Scanner for Beginners

In this case presentation, we introduce the Shining Aoralscan for beginner doctors who want to get into digital impressions.  Proper isolation and retraction is a key element of scanning. In this demonstration we showcase how a new user can easily control the operating field to deliver high quality restorations

Upper Left Premolar with Shining 3D

Proper isolation and retraction is key for all intra-oral scanners.  In this video, you can appreciate how the upper and lower arches were isolated, the margins were exposed with retraction cord and imaged with the shining 3d aoralscan

Our First Shining 3D Aoralscan Case- A Preview

At CAD-Ray, we are big proponents of open architecture and the doctors control the flow of their patients’ digital data, whether it is a CT scan or an digital impression system.  We have put the Aoralscan through a battery of tests. For single unit, it delivers on quality that equals any other scanner on the market.  We were particularly impressed with this deep margin and how well the graphics could differentiate tissue from tooth structure on the distal of the prep
