This acknowledgement reflects the effort and innovation that goes into our products, and our dedication to bridging engineering prowess with design to enhance dental care.”
Innovative Technology at Its Core
Launched in March 2025, the TRIOS 6 incorporates advanced hyperspectral technology that allows it to capture data across various light sources, including white, fluorescent, and near-infrared. This groundbreaking capability enables the scanner to achieve up to 110% higher resolution than previous models, effectively providing 3Shape’s best scanning quality to date. Dentists using the TRIOS 6 can expect enhanced accuracy and invaluable insights while diagnosing patients' oral health.
Additionally, the scanner integrates seamlessly with the AI-driven Dx Plus software. This innovation utilizes the scanning data to help dentists objectively identify significant oral health conditions, presenting findings through vivid 3D visualizations. These visual aids can be shared chairside and sent to the 3Shape DentalHealth mobile app, facilitating better patient understanding of their oral health and treatment options. (Readers are encouraged to verify the availability of Dx Plus with their 3Shape representative.)
