Say hello to Shining 3D’s brand new intraoral scanner, Aoralscan ELITE!
The Aoralscan Elite Wired is a professional intraoral scanner designed for clinics and dental labs that value accuracy, stability, and dependable daily performance. Built to support both routine restorative dentistry and advanced implant workflows, this system combines precise digital scanning with integrated intraoral photogrammetry in a compact, wired format.
For practices transitioning to digital impressions or expanding in-house lab capabilities, the wired configuration provides continuous power and stable data transfer, making it well-suited for high-volume clinical and laboratory environments.
High-Resolution Digital Impressions for Daily Clinical Use
Accurate digital impressions are the foundation of efficient restorative and laboratory workflows. This intraoral scanner captures detailed full-arch scans that support reliable margin evaluation, occlusal analysis, and anatomical accuracy. Consistent scan quality helps reduce rescans, improve fit, and support smoother downstream design and fabrication.
For dental labs and clinics with in-house production, clean scan data translates into fewer adjustments and more predictable turnaround times. The system performs well for everyday restorative cases while maintaining the precision required for more complex indications.

This short overview highlights the scanner’s compact design, comfortable handling, interchangeable tips, and dual-purpose scanning capability for restorative and implant workflows.
Integrated Intraoral Photogrammetry in a Single System
This system incorporates intraoral photogrammetry alongside traditional scanning, allowing clinicians to capture both surface anatomy and precise implant position data using one device. By combining these capabilities into a single platform, the workflow avoids additional equipment and reduces setup complexity.
This approach is particularly valuable for full-arch and edentulous implant cases, where spatial accuracy plays a critical role in restorative success. Integrating photogrammetry directly into the scanner removes the need for a separate photogrammetry unit when working on All-on-X restorations.
Stable Scanning for Edentulous and Implant Workflows
Edentulous cases present challenges for many digital systems, especially when capturing full-arch geometry with consistency. This scanner addresses those challenges with a dedicated photogrammetry scanning tip designed to provide a wider field of view and improved stability.
Interchangeable scanning tips allow the system to adapt easily to different clinical scenarios, from wider edentulous scans to routine restorative cases and smaller oral anatomies. The larger tip helps reduce the impact of soft tissue movement and supports more reliable implant positioning data, expanding the range of cases that can be managed digitally without adding separate devices.
Ergonomic Design for Long Scanning Sessions
Comfort and usability play an important role in daily clinical efficiency. With a compact form factor and lightweight construction, the scanner is easy to hold in the hand and can be used comfortably like a pencil during longer scanning sessions.
The aluminum alloy housing provides structural stability, while integrated LED indicators make scanner status easy to monitor during procedures. Motion-sensing functionality allows clinicians to progress through scanning steps without unnecessary contact, supporting hygiene protocols in busy clinical settings.
Intelligent Tools That Improve Workflow Efficiency
The scanning software includes a set of intelligent features designed to streamline clinical and laboratory workflows. These tools help reduce manual steps, improve communication, and support consistent outcomes.
Key workflow tools include:
- Real-time data optimization to remove unnecessary scan information
- Undercut detection to assist with preparation assessment
- Refined scan output for clearer margin visibility
- Automatic margin line extraction to support lab communication
- Bite analysis for accurate occlusal relationships
Together, these features help practices maintain efficiency without sacrificing accuracy.
Broad Clinical and Laboratory Applications
This 3D oral scanner supports a wide range of dental applications, making it a practical choice for multidisciplinary clinics and labs with diverse case mixes.
Supported applications include:
- Crowns and bridges
- Inlays, onlays, and veneers
- Implant and full-arch restorations
- Orthodontic workflows
- Pediatric dentistry
- Oral health assessment and documentation
By supporting multiple indications, the system allows practices to standardize digital workflows across departments.
Software Ecosystem and Data Management
The scanner integrates into a broader digital ecosystem that supports design, communication, and data management. Clinics and labs can store, transfer, and review scan data securely while maintaining organized patient records.
Cloud-based tools support collaboration between clinicians and technicians, helping streamline approvals and reduce delays. For in-house labs, production monitoring tools assist with managing printers and fabrication workflows efficiently.

Built for Long-Term Digital Growth
Choosing an intraoral scanner is a long-term decision that affects clinical efficiency, lab productivity, and patient experience. This wired system is designed to grow with a practice, supporting expanding digital workflows without forcing frequent equipment changes.
For dental labs and clinics with in-house production, reliable scan data supports better planning, clearer communication, and more predictable fabrication outcomes. The balance of stability, accuracy, and workflow efficiency makes this scanner a practical investment for teams focused on long-term digital success.
Clinics that prefer a cordless setup may also want to explore the Aoralscan Elite Wireless intraoral scanner for added mobility across operatories.
Supporting Consistent Clinic–Lab Workflows
Digital workflows are most effective when scan data moves cleanly from chairside to design without added interpretation. Consistent capture of margins, occlusal relationships, and implant positions helps reduce delays caused by unclear or incomplete impressions.
For clinics working with in-house labs, predictable scan data supports smoother handoffs between clinical and technical teams. Technicians can focus more on design and finishing rather than correcting files or requesting rescans. Over time, this consistency contributes to shorter turnaround times and improved workflow reliability across restorative and implant cases.
Wired vs Wireless: Choosing the Right Fit for Your Workflow
Both wired and wireless scanners support high-quality digital impressions. The right choice depends on how scanning fits into your daily clinical or laboratory workflow.
