Dentsply Sirona inEos X5 precision scanner celebrates anniversary

An important prerequisite for the successful production of a prosthesis is that the initial situation in the patient's mouth must be scanned as precisely as possible to achieve the desired fit and minimise the need for reworking. In a digital workflow, the qualities of a model scanner such as the Dentsply Sirona inEos X5 play an important role.

Proven precision for a wide range of indications

Five-axis robot kinematics and structured-light scanning make the inEos X5 an all-round scanner. Both models and impressions can be scanned digitally, so the scanner can be used for many different indications. Its high precision has been checked in lab tests according to DIN EN ISO. The accuracy of the standard "bridge" test specimen was demonstrated to be 2.1 μm ± 2.8 μm; 1.3 μm ± 0.4 μm was verified for the standard "inlay" test specimen. For this reason, the inEos X5 is exceptionally suitable, especially for implant treatments. Precisely determining the implant position yields excellent conditions for exact restoration results, even for long-span screw-retained bridges and bars at the implant level.

"Since the launch of the inEos X5 five years ago, the demand for precise digital processes has remained very high," says Jörg Haselbauer, Global Product Manager at Dentsply Sirona. "The positive feedback from our customers in labs confirms this over and over again. I am certain that in the future, even more dental technicians will benefit from the advantages of the inEos X5!"

Open for flexible use

The user-friendliness of the inEos X5 is due in part to its large, open working range for direct, barrier-free access to the scan object and the possibility of placing all commonly used articulators. Depending on the case, automatic or manual scanning can be selected. The scan data recorded with the inEos X5 can be flexibly integrated into the further workflow - either via STL export or via wireless data transfer to the inLab CAD software. The inEos X5 is always delivered with a high-performance PC synced to the scanner and the software license, with no additional recurring license fees.
