Intended use

The iTero Element 2 and iTero Element Flex scanners are intra-oral scanners with the following features and
intended use:

The optical impression (CAD/CAM) feature of the scanner 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.

iTero software is used with the iTero scanner in capturing 3D digital impressions of teeth, oral soft tissue
and structures, and bite relationship. The software controls the processing of the data, facilitating the
integration of data, and exporting of the data for CAD/CAM fabrication of dental
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.
