Aoralscan Elite
More than an IOS
World First 2-in-1 Intraoral Scanning System
IPG Mode: For All-on-X and implant cases
IOS Mode: For standard restorations
The Aoralscan Elite is the first device to combine intraoral scanning and photogrammetry in one unit.
It captures detailed scans for standard cases (IOS) and precisely records implant positions for All-on-X restorations (IPG).
This dual function makes it versatile for everyday dentistry and advanced implant workflows — redefining accuracy, efficiency, and simplicity in digital scanning.
What is IPG (Intraoral Photogrammetry)?
SHINING 3D’s Intraoral Photogrammetry (IPG) combines photogrammetry with intraoral scanning to capture both implant positions and soft-tissue detail in one scan.
Using encoded scan bodies, it records implant angles and positions with exceptional accuracy—ensuring a passive, precise fit for implant-supported restorations.
The Aoralscan Elite integrates this technology to streamline digital workflows across implant, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry, delivering reliable, high-precision outcomes with ease.
What are the benefits of IPG?
Great Accuracy
Powered by advanced image processing, IPG technology captures implant positions with unmatched precision—ensuring perfect, passive fit for every restoration.
Great Efficiency
Streamline implant workflows with faster, smarter scanning. IPG eliminates labor-intensive multi-angle captures, saving time without compromising precision.
Patient Experience
Deliver faster, more comfortable digital treatments. High accuracy reduces repeat scans and anxiety, improving the overall patient experience.
Simplified Workflow
Aoralscan Elite’s 2-in-1 IPG + Scan system combines intraoral scanning and photogrammetry in one seamless workflow: boosting accuracy, speed, and productivity.
Coded Scanbody for Precision Implant Positioning
The Coded Scanbody provides a highly accurate reference for implant positioning by embedding unique geometric codes that are instantly recognized by the Aoralscan Elite.
Each scan captures the implant’s exact 3D orientation and depth, eliminating manual measurement errors and ensuring consistent results across all cases.
When integrated into the digital workflow, the coded data is automatically transformed into CAD-ready information—streamlining implant design, enhancing precision, and reducing chairside time.
Cap Scanbody for Precision Alignment in Immediate Loading
The Cap Scanbody streamlines immediate loading by solving soft-tissue and implant alignment challenges in complex, moisture-rich environments.
As a precision connector, it aligns the coded scanbody with soft tissue, transforming both datasets into CAD-ready information for superior accuracy and predictable outcomes.
Smooth Scanning for Edentulous Cases
IPG technology ensures a seamless scanning experience for edentulous patients. Aoralscan Elite Adopts the IPG tip, which is larger than standard, to capture every detail of the edentulous patient's oral geometry with unparalleled clarity.

“The Elite scanner is a dual-purpose device, merging IOS (intraoral scan) capture with the latest innovation for full arch scanning implant scanning, IPG (intraoral photogrammetry). This IOS/IPG scanner has opened up a new frontier for full arch implant capture accuracy, utilizing innovative scan matching features of photogrammetric bodies to tissue or markers, reducing scanning time, chair time, and laboratory design. Bundled with the full array of Shining 3D products, the Elite has made same-day full arch treatment a reality.”

“From the first steps of experience with SHINING 3D, I realized that the scanning technology is extremely fast. What is extraordinary about this technology is that it combines scanning technology with photogrammetry. So we have the best of both worlds and can do it intraoperatively. And be able to do a provisional on it, and later on the final with the same high accuracy. We are happy to give the patient a fast and accurate solution in the fastest time.”
Dr. Henriette Lerner, PhD, FDS RCS

“Photogrammetry is the gold standard for accuracy, but existing devices using photogrammetry are typically extra-oral. The Elite is the first to combine photogrammetry with an intraoral scanner, making it a two-in-one device that is more compact, more affordable, and easier to use. The way I see it, this is gonna revolutionize the implant working practice.”
Professor Sun Yuchun, Director of the Center of Digital Dentistry, Peking University School of Stomatology, China
