Comments

  • This female patient presented with defective #11 #21 composite resin restorations and discolored #41 after root canal treatment.
  • iTero 5D with NIRI function can detect early decalcification lesions and also highlight discoloration in the tooth in high contrast. This helped in patient communication and treatment planning.
