Summary: 3Shape launched the TRIOS 6 intraoral scanner and the DentalHealth patient app at IDS 2025, emphasizing improved scanning technology and patient access to diagnostic visuals.

Key Takeaways

  • The TRIOS 6 scanner features hyperspectral imaging to assist in identifying key oral health conditions, including caries and gingival recession.
  • The company also introduced TRIOS Dx Plus software which works with the TRIOS 6 to deliver diagnostic support, but it has not yet received FDA approval for clinical use in the US.
  • The DentalHealth app allows patients to view their intraoral scans and receive oral care tips directly on their mobile devices.

3Shape unveiled its new TRIOS 6 intraoral scanner, diagnostic TRIOS Dx Plus software, and the DentalHealth patient app at the International Dental Show (IDS) in Cologne, Germany.

New Features in TRIOS 6 Scanner

The TRIOS 6 intraoral scanner features several new upgrades, including hyperspectral technology, and enables diagnostic aid capabilities via the new AI-assistive TRIOS Dx Plus software. TRIOS DX is not clearned by the FDA for clinical use in the United States.

Hyperspectral Imaging and Diagnostic Capabilities

According to 3Shape, hyperspectral technology captures data from white, fluorescent, and near-infrared light sources simultaneously. This allows for the detection of five key oral health conditions, including surface and proximal caries, plaque, tooth wear and gingival recession. According to the company, using this technology, the TRIOS 6 works hand in hand with TRIOS Dx Plus software to deliver diagnostics support of oral health conditions for practitioners, which can then be shared to patients’ mobile devices via 3Shape’s new DentalHealth app.

Patient Engagement via DentalHealth App

The DentalHealth app allows patients to see their intraoral scans, including diagnostic visualizations, on their devices. It also provides tips and engaging content to help promote better dental care for patients.

Technical Specifications and Package Details

TRIOS 6 features up to 110% higher scan resolution when compared with previous 3Shape scanners, according to the company. The scanner also features 3Shape’s patented ScanAssist intelligent-alignment technology and sensory feedback for smoother and easier scanning.

3Shape says the TRIOS 6 is calibration-free and weighs 10.8 oz. (308 gm) and is 10.47 inches (26.6 cm) in length. The 3Shape TRIOS 6 intraoral scanner package includes: 1 autoclavable tip, a box of 25 TRIOS Ready Tips, TRIOS protection tip, a box of TRIOS Sleeves, 3 batteries, charger including power cord, scanner pod, wireless adapter, and documentation.
