Introduction

About this document

The iTero Element 5D system is delivered as a proprietary, PC-
based workstation for performing intra-oral scans in the doctor's
office. This document describes how to start and shut down the
system, how to correctly handle the Scanning Unit/Wand and cable,
and how to clean the Scanning Unit and replace its sleeves
between patients.

Intended use / indication for use

The iTero Element 5D is an intra-oral scanner with the following
features and intended/indicated for use:
1. The optical impression (CAD/CAM) feature of iTero Element
5D is intended/indicated for use to record the topographical
images of teeth and oral tissue. Data generated from iTero may
be used in conjunction with the production of dental devices
(e.g., aligners, braces, appliances, etc.) and accessories.
2. iTero Element 5D software is used with the iTero scanner in
capturing 3D digital impressions of teeth, oral soft tissue and
structures, and bite relationship. iTero software controls the
processing of the data, facilitating the integration of data,
and exporting of the data for CAD/CAM fabrication of dental
restorations, orthodontic devices, abutments, and accessories.
In addition to scan data, various patient and case information
can be imported/exported or used for simulation purposes.
Other functions are available for verification and service of the
system and to serve as an order management tool.
3. The Element 5D NIRI functionality, is a diagnostic aid for the
detection of interproximal caries lesions above the gingiva and
for monitoring the progress of such lesions.

Benefits of the iTero Element 5D system

The iTero Element 5D system provides important advantages over
existing crown-production methods, including powder-free scanning,
greater crown-production accuracy, and immediate feedback during
the scanning process.
