About Laonpeople Truescan 3d Dental Scanner
Truescan is a three-dimensional intraoral scanner used in dental practice. The device records the oral structure in real time, so a dentist can examine and manage the teeth of a patient without conventional impression materials. The scan tip is kept small and rounded without sharp edges, so that entry into the mouth remains safe. The body measures 280 by 34 by 36 millimetres and is shaped for scanning with one hand. The button is placed low on the rear surface for easy operation. All parts are made of ABS selected for biological safety.

- Design Challenge
- Since the oral scanner used in dentistry is an instrument that investigates the patient's mouth, it was important to reflect the size and depth so that the oral cavity can be investigated safely and without risk. Starting with a basic survey on the human body of various sizes and teeth of the oral cavity, we tried to develop the most ergonomic and universal oral medical device based on the professional findings of dentist.
- Project Duration
- Design project started in March 2021 and finished in December 2021 in Seoul, Korea
- Operation Flow
- Oral scanner is a dental diagnostic device with the latest technology based on 3D high-speed scanning method and image implementation software. A dentist is a medical device that can diagnose and manage the patient's oral structure immediately by moving a scanner into the patient's mouth in real time and filming it.
- Research
- We collected various opinions through stakeholders from dentists and marketing and clinical personnel who are medical staff and reflected them in the design concept. In addition, the self-produced and analyzed medical device design trend over the past 14 years was referenced.
- Inspiration
- It is designed in consideration of human-centered design because it is a medical device that directly touches and uses the patient's oral cavity. In the case of tips that go directly into the patient's oral cavity, the size is as small as possible, the main body, the grip was important in a form that was easy to scan the entire mouth while holding it with one hand, and it was designed so that there was no problem in operating even if the button part was placed behind the main body.
