Ideally, anyone involved in patient care and treatment planning should be proficient in using the 3Shape Trios scanner. This includes dentists, dental assistants, and hygienists. Proper training for all team members ensures that the scanning process is efficient and accurate, reducing the likelihood of errors and improving patient outcomes. At Dental IT Consultants, we provide comprehensive training to ensure your entire team is comfortable and competent with the technology.

To scan more easily, ensure your team is thoroughly trained and familiar with the 3Shape Trios system's features and workflows. Streamlining your scanning protocol and setting up a dedicated scanning station can also enhance efficiency. Regular practice and utilizing advanced features of the Trios system, such as real-time guidance and feedback, can make the scanning process smoother and more intuitive. Our training programs at Dental IT Consultants are designed to help you integrate these best practices seamlessly.

Encouraging reluctant team members to embrace new technology can be achieved through proper training and highlighting the benefits. Show them how the 3Shape Trios scanner can improve their workflow, reduce manual labor, and enhance patient care. Offering hands-on training sessions and addressing their concerns can build confidence and familiarity with the technology. At Dental IT Consultants, we provide personalized training sessions that cater to your team’s specific needs and help them see the value in adopting new tools.

Most modern dental labs are equipped to handle digital scans, but it’s important to confirm with your specific lab. Discuss your transition to digital impressions with your lab to ensure they have the necessary technology and processes in place. If your lab needs assistance, Dental IT Consultants can provide guidance and support to help them integrate and manage digital workflows effectively.

You should be scanning for a variety of indications, including Crown & Bridge, Implants, Pre-prep workflows, Clear Aligners, Removables, Fully Edentulous & Copy Denture, and Patient Monitoring. By scanning for these indications, you can improve accuracy and efficiency in your treatment planning and execution. Our training programs at Dental IT Consultants cover all these indications, ensuring your team is well-prepared to handle diverse clinical scenarios.

While a cart can provide mobility and convenience, it is not strictly necessary for using the 3Shape Trios system. The decision to use a cart depends on your practice’s specific needs and workflow. A cart can help keep the scanning equipment organized and easily accessible, especially in larger practices or those with multiple treatment rooms. We can help you assess whether a cart would be beneficial for your setup during our consultation and training sessions.

To prolong the life of your 3Shape Trios scanner tips, follow the manufacturer’s recommended sterilization procedures. Typically, this involves using autoclave sterilization at specified temperatures and durations. Avoid harsh chemicals and improper cleaning methods that can damage the tips. Regular maintenance and correct handling will ensure longevity. Our training includes detailed guidance on proper sterilization techniques to help you maintain your equipment.

To ensure that all offices in your Dental Service Organization (DSO) are utilizing the technology to its fullest, implement standardized training and regular performance evaluations. Monitor usage metrics and gather feedback from each office to identify areas for improvement. Providing continuous support and refresher training sessions can help maintain high standards across all locations. Dental IT Consultants offers ongoing support and metrics analysis to help you track and optimize the use of technology in your DSO.

Using scan metrics effectively can significantly enhance your success with the 3Shape Trios system. Track key performance indicators such as scan time, accuracy, and patient satisfaction to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Regularly reviewing these metrics can help you refine your techniques and ensure consistent, high-quality results.
