Optimet announces the launch of its ultra-high-precision DSi 6000 dental chairside scanner, which offers patients high standards for complex dental prosthetics. With the push of a button, the DSi 6000’s advanced scanning technology can capture the dental contours of impression materials with extraordinary precision — including features that are difficult to scan such as narrow and deep holes and steep angles.
“The DSi 6000 is based on Optimet’s patented conoscopic holography where the scanner’s transmitted laser path is exactly the same as the reflected laser path [that] records the shape of the dental impression,” said Optimet’s Israel General Manager Reuven Silverman. “It can also scan a wide range of dental impression materials, meaning dentists can use the resources they are most comfortable with, minus powders. This standard industry practice minimizes reflections extraneous to dental scans but also makes them less precise.”
The DSi 6000 also helps to streamline the dental prosthetic restoration process to save time and money. The scanner is easy to use, with operators only needing an hour of training to be set up. Dentists can continue their usual methods of administrating dental impressions, while dental technicians can create prosthetics without using gypsum to fill the impression materials. With no need to manually create molds, time and material costs are saved.

“Optimet has provided thousands of dental labs around the world with quality dental scans,” said Silverman. “Our highly experienced [research and development], engineering, and manufacturing teams combine their proficiencies to create high-precision tools that consistently contribute to the delivery of high-quality prosthetics. We’re very excited about the levels of comfort and fit that the DSi 6000 will provide dental patients.”
