Below we have summarized everything we learned about this new, next-generation intraoral scanner:
Hardware Improvements:
- 25% smaller and 12% lighter than the i500.
- Very lightweight at 245 grams. For reference, the i500 is 280g.
- Scanning speeds up to 2x faster than the Medit i500.
- Deeper scan depth and 4x colour expression quality.
- 11 microns full-arch accuracy.
- Scanning window has been enlarged by 7% while maintaining the small size of the scanner head.
- Scans up to 70 frames per second (30 frames per second in the i500).
- UV-C Internal LED to aid in sterilization of the inner parts of the scanner.
- Has a completely detachable cable when not in use, but it is not wireless.
- No longer requires a power bank, it can be simply plugged into any computer with USB 3 cable connection.
- Scanner head is reversible, it can be rotated 180 degrees and attached (similar to TRIOS).
- Mirror angle has changed from 40 degrees to 45 degrees to help with capturing tricky parts like the distal of second molars.
- Remote control button added to the Medit i700 - enables checking and manipulate scan data from the scanner itself without touching a keyboard. This includes switching between scan stages and rotating the scan.
- Autoclavable scanning tips - these have been redesigned as the i500 tips had cracking issues.
- Scanning tips can be autoclaved up to 100 times (50 times in the i500).
Software improvements:
- Scan processing times are 4.5 times faster.
- Master model can now be created from separate scan segments meaning you do not need to adhere to a specific scan strategy anymore.
- Orthodontic module now includes automatic tooth segmentation like iTero.
- Multiple bites registrations can be taken for each case.
