A new smartphone application is making waves by bringing advanced 3D face scanning technology within reach of dental practices worldwide. The Qlone 3D Scanner app, developed by EyeCue Vision Technologies LTD. in Israel, is set to revolutionise how dentists approach diagnostics and treatment planning.
Bridging the Gap Between Clinic and Laboratory
Traditional 2D photography in dentistry has long been limited by factors such as head posture and camera orientation. The Qlone app addresses these challenges by offering comprehensive 3D facial scanning capabilities.
“A smile is far more than just a set of teeth – it is the cumulative sum of a person’s face,” explains industry expert Ronen Horovitz. This technology allows dentists to design restorations in the context of the patient’s entire facial structure, potentially leading to improved aesthetic outcomes.
Enhancing Patient Communication and Treatment Acceptance
One of the key benefits of this technology is its ability to improve patient engagement. Dentists can now quickly show patients simulated versions of their smiles from various angles, a feature that is expected to boost treatment acceptance rates.
Overcoming Traditional Barriers
While 3D face scanning technology has been available for some time, its adoption has been hindered by high costs and operational complexity. The Qlone app aims to address these issues by offering an affordable and user-friendly solution.
“This groundbreaking app is designed with a user-friendly interface that makes 3D scanning as easy as taking a selfie,” states Horovitz, highlighting the app’s simplicity despite its powerful capabilities.
Prioritising Patient Privacy
In an era of increasing data security concerns, Qlone sets itself apart by prioritising patient privacy. Unlike some competitors, the app ensures that no patient images or 3D data are stored on external servers, keeping sensitive information under the control of dental professionals.
The app’s versatility extends to its compatibility with popular dental CAD software. It offers various export options in formats such as OBJ, PLY, and STL, facilitating seamless integration with existing digital workflows.
Accessibility and Pricing
The basic version of the Qlone app is available for free download on iPhones, allowing dental professionals to test its core features. Advanced functionalities, including the face scanning feature and 4K resolution scanning, are accessible through a one-time premium upgrade.
As dental technicians begin incorporating Qlone into their digital workflows, the app’s low cost and integration capabilities are positioning it as an attractive solution for clinics seeking to enhance their services without significant financial investment.
The introduction of the Qlone 3D Scanner app marks a significant step forward in democratising advanced dental technology.
