In the domain of orthodontics, plaster models are contemplated as one of the important tools for diagnosis and treatment planning. In Dentistry, technological advancement has developed in the section of diagnostic devices, for example, the utilization of a 3D intraoral scanner, which can convert plaster models into digital models. With in-office utilization of this system, orthodontists can more meticulously and precisely construct custom braces, clear aligners, and orthodontic appliances. The digital data can be stored as a stereolithography file; it eliminates the disadvantages encountered with the storage of plaster models like breakage, space required, and distortion of the plaster models. ITero®element is the intraoral laser scanner (ILS) which utilizes parallel confocal scanning technology which maximizes the accuracy of the scan. By utilizing the iTero scanner, the dental measurement can be performed in OrthoCADTM software which is highly accurate. The objective of the contemporary study is to review the literature of studies on in-vivo and ex-vivo scanning with the iTero system.
在正畸领域，石膏模型被视为诊断和治疗计划的重要工具之一。在牙科领域，诊断设备方面的技术进步已经发展起来，例如，3D 口内扫描仪的应用，可以将石膏模型转化为数字模型。通过在办公室中使用该系统，正畸医生可以更精细、更精确地制作定制牙套、透明矫正器和正畸器具。数字数据可以存储为立体光刻文件；它消除了石膏模型存储中遇到的缺点，如破损、所需空间和石膏模型的变形。iTero®element 是一种口腔内激光扫描仪（ILS），它利用平行共焦扫描技术，最大限度地提高扫描的准确性。通过使用 iTero 扫描仪，可以在高度精确的 OrthoCADTM 软件中进行牙科测量。本研究的目的是回顾 iTero 系统的体内和体外扫描的文献。
