The DentaLink S6000, also known as the Fussen intraoral scanner (IOS), is a low-cost, entry-level scanner made by Fussen Technology Co., Ltd., a Chinese-based company. There has been a boom in cheap intraoral scanners released onto the market in recent years - many of these coming from China. Over five different intraoral scanners are made in the country, the popular ones being: Runyes, DentaLink, Panda, Shining 3D, and Launca.
The team at iDD was fortunate to receive the first DentaLink S6000 IOS in New Zealand and one of the first in the entire Asia-Pacific region. We have been testing this scanner for months. The following review goes over our experiences and how this scanner compares to all others on the market.

Whether you design the crowns yourself using your chairside system or send them to a lab, if the final crown looks something like this, it's usually a sign of insufficient tooth reduction.
It doesn't matter what material you use; they all come with a recommended minimum thickness that should be respected. Otherwise the chance of fractures increases drastically. Especially with CAD/CAM systems, the breach of the material's minimum thickness is difficult to miss, and most CAD systems will even force you to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations. As a result, you or your technician will often abandon any attempt at detailed occlusion, especially the central groove.
With most modern ceramic materials (e.max or even zirconia), occlusal reduction by less than 1 mm results in an ugly flat occlusal table. To avoid this, you need to think of the cement gap and occlusal relief as well the next time you're going to prep a tooth.
A simplified rule of thumb is: minimum thickness + 0.1 mm for cement gap + 0.1 occlusal relief.
E.g. 1 mm recommended minimum thickness + 0.1 mm cement gap + 0.1 occlusal relief = reduce the occlusal surface of the tooth by 1.2 mm at least. I promise you, your crowns will be much prettier, and your technician will thank you. 😊

This is not just Photoshop 😅 This is demonstrating the huge impact of resin cement shade on final restoration shade.
In this case, an e.max CAD veneer was made in-house to restore a fractured second central incisor (21).
The pictures show the same e.max veneer being fitted in the mouth with Variolink Esthetic resin cement.
The first image is a dry fit. If you had a look like this you may think you need to remake.
The second image is with Variolink Esthetic neutral try-in cement.
The third image is with Variolink Esthetic warm try-in cement.
Profound differences in the final result.
Comment below which option you would go with :)
I get asked a lot what resin cement I use. Personally I prefer Variolink Esthetic for aesthetic cases as the try-in cements closely mimic the final result with the resin, giving me confidence in the process.

In our clinic, we've been using TRIOS 3 intraoral scanner for years and while it still works and gets the job done, we decided to upgrade to the newest generation - TRIOS 4 MOVE+.
As always, 3Shape offers their intraoral scanner in multiple configurations:
⚙ 𝗣𝗼𝗱 - a desktop setup that requires you to connect the scanner to a computer
⚙ 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 - an integrated cart option with 13.3" touchscreen display
⚙ 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲+ - similar to the Move cart, but the screen is bigger, 15.6"
TRIOS 4 is a wireless scanner that can be connected to your computer or the Move cart when the batteries happen to run flat.
In this 10-minute video, Dr. Ahmad Al-Hassiny goes over the other features as well. If you want to learn more about this intraoral scanner and our experience with it, read our full review on our website - link in bio!

We often get asked whether the high-end intraoral scanners are really worth the investment or whether the “cheap” ones do the job. And our answer is generally the same: it depends on what you want a scanner for.
In this post, we have used scanners that could be considered by three types of dentists:
⚫ 𝗖𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗖 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻 in combination with Primemill is our clinic’s favourite chairside system for same-day workflows. Fast, simple, and efficient but arguably too expensive for many.
🔵 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝟳𝟬𝟬 - a much cheaper alternative for dentists that like to effectively communicate with their lab but also want to get into other avenues of digital dentistry such as 3D printing.
🟠 𝟯𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗢𝗦 - is a scanner that comes with no apps; therefore it might be considered by dentists that just want to scan and do not wish to delve into dental technology too much.
(We tried all of them - go to our website to read the full reviews!)
We are not a scientific research facility, but we're very fortunate to be in a position to test all IOS in a clinical environment, on real cases and real patients.
Dr Ahmad Al-Hassiny scanned the same prep with these IOS and these are the results. In this post, you can see the files in colour and monochrome as previewed in their native software. We also imported the scans into 3rd party software (Meshmixer by Autodesk).
We exported the scans in an STL format. The i700 files were exported with default settings, and the patient was not scanned with the HD mode on. The Primescan and Medit files were exported in the highest definition, while the Heron IOS did not give us a quality or file size option.

Throughout the CEREC Masterclass, we have covered every aspect of the CEREC software. There are a few extra functions every CEREC user should know about and this is covered in this module.
Your instructor Anton Martin will teach you:
✔ How to use CEREC in implant planning with Sidexis software
✔ How to use the Smile Design Function to design cosmetic makeovers
✔ How to use Virtual articulator to design functional restorations without any occlusal interference
This is the 10th (!!!) installment of your CEREC Masterclass series. If you're interested in this course or the rest of this comprehensive series, visit our website and sign up today! Follow the link in bio!
