Its bright full HD touch-screen display has wide visualization angles for an immersive and engaging experience and
its powerful computing power enables a smoother and intuitive scanning experience. The ergonomics and elegance
of the cart will smoothen your experience and elevate your practice brand image.
The integrated intra-oral camera eliminates the need for a second device while enhancing patient experience and
communication. NIRI technology aids you in the diagnostics and monitoring of interproximal carious lesions above
the gingiva, as well as patient communication. No additional scans are needed. No harmful radiation.
This all-in-one system is designed to take patient experience and your productivity to the next level, ultimately
helping you to grow your practice while making things easier.

Intended use

The iTero Element 5D Plus is an intra-oral scanner with the following features and intended use:
The optical impression (CAD/CAM) feature of iTero Element 5D Plus is intended/indicated for use to record the
l
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 Element 5D Plus software is used with the iTero scanner in capturing 3D digital impressions of teeth, oral
l
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 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.
The iTero Element 5D NIRI functionality is a diagnostic aid for the detection of interproximal carious lesions above
l
the gingiva and for monitoring the progress of such lesions.
iTero Element scanners may be used on patients classified as Preadolescent, Adolescent, and Adult.
