Becoming<br />
a digital<br />
practitioner with<br />
TRIOS scanner<br />
By Leif Svensson<br />
Recording 2,500 scanning cases<br />
for me is a great milestone with a<br />
lot of clinical highlights. Amid the<br />
2,500 cases, I was able to build a<br />
specialised training programme for<br />
the largest TRIOS scanner roll-out in<br />
<strong>Asia</strong>-Pacific, spanning 100 locations<br />
with over 500 practitioners. I have<br />
had the opportunity to work with<br />
many practitioners along the journey<br />
and have learned so much, especially<br />

to the quadrant I am working<br />
on. Position the body where the<br />
Here are my top 10 learnings after<br />
scanning 2,500 dental cases.<br />
1. Good hardware: Research and<br />
acquire the best scanner you<br />
find most affordable.<br />
2. Be fearless: It is normal to<br />
expect nervousness in the first<br />
10-20 scans. But after conducting<br />
100 scans, more experience and<br />
