iTero Lumina intraoral scanners

General
 dentists looking to elevate their restorative practice have a powerful new ally
in the iTero Lumina™ Pro, an innovative Intraoral Scanner designed to meet the
evolving demands of modern digital dentistry. The iTero
Lumina™ Pro dental imaging system offers advanced capabilities to support
 efficient restorative workflows as well as multidisciplinary ortho-restorative
 workflows, aiding in the diagnosis of interproximal caries above the gingiva,
empowering general dentists to enhance clinical accuracy1, improve
 workflow efficiency2, and drive practice growth.

Combining
 efficiency with precision, the iTero Lumina™ Pro enables clinicians to adopt
more comprehensive and flexible approaches to care and delivering tangible
 value in patient care, clinical outcomes, and
 practice/business growth.

High confidence in your results



With
 the iTero Lumina™ Pro, dentists can achieve superior clinical accuracy3.
Whether you’re working on a single-unit crown or a complex removable 
prosthetic, the scanner delivers predictable, repeatable first-time fits5.
The consistency not only boosts clinical confidence but also minimises the need
 for adjustments, helping ensure efficient and accurate restorations right from
the start.

Outstanding simplicity for highly
efficient workflows2

Even the most complex cases become simpler. Advanced tools like automatic margin marking, multi-bite
registration, and emergence profile capture are seamlessly integrated into a
single scan. These intelligent features streamline the workflow, reduce 
chair time, and simplify the path to high-quality outcomes.

One device for endless 
possibilities

Experience 
versatility with photo realistic 3D models4 and a high-definition
intraoral camera tools that assist in interproximal caries detection. The iTero
Lumina™ Pro intraoral scanner consolidates essential functions into a 
single unit. The result is a streamlined clinical environment that 
saves time and enhances diagnostics.

Superior patient experience for
exceptional care

Designed with patient comfort in mind, thanks in part to its significantly 
smaller and lighter wand5, the iTero Lumina™ Pro offers a quick and
comfortable scanning experience for patients6. The ergonomic design
enhances patient comfort and contributes to smoother, more efficient scanning 
sessions. It fosters stronger patient engagement by providing visual, patient-engaging
 visualisations of oral health conditions, helping patients better understand 
their treatment needs.
