In much the same way as digital cameras disrupted film; the 3M Mobile True Definition Scanner replaces a traditional chemical dental mold with the markets smallest and most accurate 3D camera – sending data, securely over the Internet, to a Cloud Web portal. Unlike many other dental technologies, this product emphasized purposeful design. This has resulted in a new-to-world mobile form factor that clearly communicates its intent as a device you want to hold which captures information you want to share. Beyond being more accurate than analog methods, it can become the centerpiece in a dialog between clinician and patient about oral wellness.
