Introduction from our expert:

I am Ji-man Park, a dedicated prosthodontist and associate dean of planning and coordination at the Seoul National University School of Dentistry. My academic and professional journey has been deeply intertwined with the advancement of digital dentistry, focusing on areas such as intraoral scanning technology, ceramic 3D printing, and AI-assisted CAD software. My passion for these fields extends beyond practice to actively fostering research collaborations to elevate dental education and practice standards.

For the upcoming IADR AMA session, I am excited to delve into the 'Accuracy of Intraoral Scanners.' This area is pivotal in digital dentistry, significantly transitioning from traditional impression techniques to advanced digital solutions. My discussion will focus on:

Technological Evolution: A brief history of intraoral scanners, highlighting the technological advancements that have improved accuracy over time.

Comparative Analysis: Examining the accuracy of different intraoral scanners compared to traditional impression methods, discussing critical studies and findings in this area.

Clinical Implications: How the accuracy of these scanners affects clinical outcomes, patient experience, and overall treatment efficiency.

Challenges and Solutions: Discuss the current challenges in the field, such as handling soft tissues and reflective surfaces, and potential solutions or ongoing research addressing these issues.

Future Trends: Looking at emerging technologies and research that could further enhance the accuracy and application of intraoral scanners in dentistry.

Through this session, I aim to provide a comprehensive overview of intraoral scanners' accuracy, backed by research and practical insights, and engage in an enriching discussion with fellow professionals and enthusiasts in the field.
