Aoralscan 3 by Shining 3D is one of the most popular intraoral scanners (IOS) from China. It is a scanner we have been asked to review countless times, and Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny is glad to (finally) be able to share his experience with you.
Aoralscan 3 was released on the 12th of September, 2021. It is another affordable, scanner-only device but comes with much better software than most Chinese scanners we have reviewed, in fact, better software than many mainstream scanners too.
We have been testing this scanner for months. Our objective unbiased review goes over our experiences and how this scanner compares to all others on the market - to read the review today, follow the link in bio!

EDIT: pic. 7, top half, yellow scan is Medit i700, NOT Helios 600.
Every month Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny tests new scanners in a clinical environment on real patients. Our main focus was on Aoralscan 3 by Shining 3D this month, which we've been testing alongside other scanners - a full review of Aoralscan 3 is coming soon!
In this post, iDD compares:
✅ CEREC Primescan by Dentsply Sirona
✅ Aoralscan 3 by Shining 3D
✅ Helios 600 by Eighteeth
✅ Heron IOS by 3DISC
✅ i700 by Medit
✅ DL-206P by Launca
Except for CEREC Primescan, all these scanners are within the $10-18k price range, making them affordable to most dentists.
In the second picture, you can see the scans in color as previewed in their native software. This shows you how these scanners capture color, which becomes handy when marking equi- or subgingival finishing line.
The monochrome scans were exported in an STL format and previewed in Medit Design app with and without the tessellated mesh. All the scans were exported in their default settings, and the Medit i700 scan was NOT captured in HD.
Regarding accuracy, no research exists about most of these particular scanners, which can be said about most new scanners. The technology is simply outpacing research. CEREC Primescan is the only exception - that's why we use it as a reference.
We also aligned the scans, and there seems to be a minimum deviation.
As you can see, a good scanner doesn't need to be too expensive these days, but there are so many choices available now. Follow the link in bio and get lifetime access to our Intraoral Scanner Price Guide to help you with your decision-making.

First, Dentsply Sirona teased about new products and software, and most importantly their new printer - the Primeprint.
On May 5th, 2022, two months later, they officially launched the PrimePrint and made a surprise announcement about their new offering: DS Core.
DS Core is a new digital platform by Dentsply Sirona, which will serve as the foundation for their digital ecosystem moving forward for all dental practitioners to collaborate on cases.
DS Core consists of DS Core Create their comprehensive design service, and DS Core Care, the new service and support solution.
The Primeprint is a new 3D printer that’s powerful, accurate, and has incredible features. While undoubtedly late to the 3D printing game, they finally have a product to offer.
The launch event was a long one, over 1 hour and 40 minutes, so we’ve broken down everything into easy-to-read bullet points.
The topics covered include:
✔ 𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 - the New Digital Platform by Dentsply Sirona.
✔ 𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 - integrated equipment support and services package.
✔ 𝗗𝗦 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲 - essentially a CAD design service.
✔ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝐩𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 - we finally know more about their 3D printer.
✔ 𝗤&𝗔 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 - we summarized all the answers.

Completely digital workflow developed by in-house dental technicians @mustafaalinz and @lkaichuan at @idd.lab.
The beauty of the digital workflow is that we can quickly and easily replace the denture if the patient loses or breaks it. No need to start from scratch as you would with conventional dentures.
Neoss Proactive Tapered dental implants uncovered after 3 months healing period. Neoss Equator abutments inserted. Processing caps and housings placed on Equators.
Monoblock try-in of immediate denture printed with NextDent Try-In T10 resin. Reline PVS impression taken using heavy body around Equator housings and light body wash. Scanned with 3shape desktop scanner.
New denture designed digitally on 3Shape software (no model required). Small spacer and chamfer around housing to allow for path of insertion. Printed using NextDent Denture 3D+ Classic Pink and C&B MFH N1 resins. NextDent 5100 printer.
Chairside pickup of housings done with ZEST chairside attachment processing material.

The Bellus3D Facial Scanner app known as Bellus3D DentalPro was a powerful and easy-to-use 3D face scanning app used on iPhones and iPads that enabled the capture and integration of 3D face scans into various workflows.
Unfortunately, it seems like the company is going under as they have made the decision to wind down Bellus3D by the end of 2022.
You can no longer download the Bellus Dental Pro app from the Apple App Store since December 1, 2021. Existing customers could renew their monthly subscription until March 1, 2022. For customers with an annual subscription, your service will terminate at the end of your subscription period but no later than December 31, 2022.
For Bellus Dental Pro users - export all your face models prior to your service termination date as your data will be deleted after that date. Data will not be recoverable.
𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁?
With Bellus exiting the market, this leaves quite a large void in the facial scanning space. 3Shape had also considered at one point releasing a facial scanner but that too was scrapped. Are facial scanners doomed?
What are the alternatives now for those looking at their options? Here are some popular ones:
👉 Thunk3D Facial Scanner - a Chinese facial scanner commonly resold such as InstaRisa 3D
👉 Vectra Facial Scanner
👉 Revopoint Pop2
👉 Face Hunter by Zirkon Zahn
👉 ObiScanner
When you look at the alternatives, what becomes evident is that although Bellus had its workflow flaws, it will be sorely missed. The options available for a facial scanner all have their own weaknesses and oftentimes cost more than the software dental pro app.
It will be interesting to see how CAD/CAM companies respond and innovate in the facial scanning space in the future. It is a key part of many workflows that is missing a good solution.

Dentsply Sirona shares have fallen 10.3% to an 18 month low following the announcement that the company have parted ways with Chief Executive Officer Donald Casey.
This comes just over a week after the company announced that current CFO Jorge Gomez will be leaving the company to join Moderna Inc.
The company did not comment on the reasoning behind Donald Casey’s termination, but further clarified that he will cease serving as a member on the company’s board of directors.
While the exact reasoning behind both departures remains unclear, it has emerged that the company is currently being investigated for alleged securities fraud.
