Description
Maria Myrto Solomou and co-authors ask whether the 3D scanners already mapping teeth could also track mouth sores, in a 2025 review. Soft tissue lesions range from harmless spots to early cancers, and today's checks lean on eyes, flat photos, and biopsies, each with real limits. The team gathered studies on intraoral scanning across dentistry and oral medicine.
Scanners capture shape and texture in three dimensions, without touch or radiation, giving records that can be compared visit to visit. That objectivity could flag slow change that memory and snapshots miss. The review closes with a forward look at teledentistry, where a scan travels farther than the patient can.
