TRIOS 6 has a new and improved industrial design to visually and tactilely distinguish between the scan button and the remote button. TRIOS 6 embodies all the great features from TRIOS 5, being ergonomic, effortless and hygienic.

Does TRIOS 6 need calibration?
TRIOS 6 is a calibration free scanner, so there is no need for TRIOS 6 to be calibrated.
What are the benefits of HD scanning?
With HD (high definition) scanning you can capture a higher resolution, which results in more detailed scans and realistic images, making it easier to e.g. indicate preparation margins when doing status scans as well as detecting any irregularities on teeth or gingiva, leading to excellent outcomes for your patients within intended use.
How can I use the scan button?
The dual button consists of a scan button that activates scanning, and a remote button for in-software navigation, allowing you to analyze the scan and complete a full workflow without touching the PC or Move. With TRIOS 6, there is an update to the design to emphasize the distinction, where the scan button is slightly larger, and the remote button features a small, raised bump for a different tactile feel, such that it feels different than the scan button.
