Non-contact measurement for dental industry
Scantron is the world’s leading name in non-contact precision measurement for the dental industry. We’re the natural choice when it comes to precision measurement equipment purposefully created with a deep understanding of the unique needs of dentistry. Our dedicated solution includes patented technology and an effective, efficient process which works on both enamel and dentine.
The Proscan 2200 for the dental industry
Carefully developed for professionals working in dental laboratories and developing dentistry solutions, the Proscan 2200 is our first piece of equipment made specifically for the dental research industry. With a variety of sensors, it offers a superior scanning resolution capable of viewing individual tubules on the tooth’s surface.
The Proscan 2200 Dental system is used in dental laboratories around the world for abrasivity and wear testing of dentifrice and toothpaste mixtures. What’s more, the volume analysis and ‘Proform’ software tools by Scantron make measurement of volumetric and linear wear quick and easy.
The Proscan 2200 can be used with multiple interchangeable sensors to evaluate any surface from lapped or polished enamel or dentine to complete typodont sets, making it a vital piece of equipment for those pushing the boundaries of dental science, working with patients to improve their oral care or manufacturing new dental products and patient solutions.
Scantron’s non-contact measurement for the dental industry is a market-leading solution offering precision, speed and ease of use. It’s reliable and accurate and backed by more than three decades of industry expertise.

| EROSION | Proscan measures the direct effect of erosion on emanel and dentine by acid foods and drinks. Small speciments are mounted onto, or into, acrylic holders for in-vitro testing. The surface profiles are measured both before and after exposure to the erosive element. Once scanned, a datum profile is produced for each sample showing sufficient detail to identify the enamel rod structure. The difference between the two scans is qualified either as height deviations or as a volume measurement. |  |
| ABRASION | Proscan is fast becoming the benchmark for enamel abrasion measurement. Favoured for its ease of use, the system easily captures the true surface profile of enamel both before and after abrasion testing. Fast, accurate surface topography allows the user to qualify the exact amount of material abraded away, expressed eith as height deviations or as a volume measurement. (Ref ISO 11609:2010) |  |
| ATTRITION | The entire topography occlusal, incisal and proximal surfaces are captured through either in-situ modelling or in-vitro testing. Accurate 3D measurement of the polished facets formed on the cusp tip or the flattening of the incisal edge allows qualification of wear levels, especially where analysis over time is concerned. |  |
| SURFACE POROSITY | Sub-micron resolution allows measurements on the inter-crystalline structure to be analysed. Studies into the effect of white-spot lesions reveal vital information. |  |
| SURFACE ROUGHNESS | Choose from a wide range of standard ISO and DIN surface roughness analysis tools to accurately determine the true surface texture of a material. |
