Soft Tissue Scanning – How the MEDIT i900 can scan soft tissue with ease

Posted: 23rd May 2025

Why the MEDIT i900 Intraoral Scanner is a Game-Changer for Soft Tissue Scanning

Intraoral scanning has evolved dramatically in recent years, but one of the biggest challenges has always been the accurate capture of soft tissue. Gingiva, tongue, and cheek tissues are naturally mobile, often moist, and difficult to scan with precision. Enter the MEDIT i900—a state-of-the-art intraoral scanner that is redefining what’s possible in digital dentistry, particularly in the realm of soft tissue imaging.

Precision Where It Matters Most

Soft tissue accuracy is critical for a wide range of procedures—from prosthodontics and implant planning to aligner fitting and even surgical guides. The i900’s advanced optical system and ultra-fast capture speed minimise motion blur and maximise surface detail. Whether you’re capturing subgingival areas or mucosal surfaces, the i900 delivers crisp, clean, and consistent results.

What Makes the i900 So Effective with Soft Tissue?

  1. Ultra-Fast Scanning Engine
    The MEDIT i900 utilises next-generation AI-assisted image processing, allowing it to quickly capture thousands of frames per second. This is especially important when dealing with soft tissues that may shift slightly during the scan. The speed of the i900 helps freeze motion in place, reducing artifacts and the need for rescans.
  2. High-Resolution Colour Imaging
    Soft tissues are not just about shape—they’re also about colour and texture. The i900’s high-definition colour capture provides lifelike detail that aids in diagnostics, communication, and lab workflows. Differentiating between healthy and inflamed tissues, or even between attached and unattached gingiva, becomes far easier.
  3. AI-Powered Soft Tissue Filtering
    One of the most impressive features of the MEDIT i900 is its AI-driven soft tissue management. The scanner’s software intelligently recognizes and filters out unnecessary movement or noise from soft tissues, preserving only the clinically relevant data. This ensures your scans are both clean and complete.
  4. Lightweight and Ergonomic Design
    Comfort plays an underrated role in successful scans—especially for soft tissue. The i900 is designed to be ultra-light and balanced in hand, reducing operator fatigue and allowing better control. A more stable hand leads to less patient discomfort and more accurate capture, particularly around mobile tissue areas.
  5. Seamless Re-Scanning
    Mistakes or movement happen. The i900’s seamless re-scan capability means you can easily capture missing data without redoing the entire scan. This is particularly useful when parts of the soft tissue didn’t cooperate the first time.

Real Clinical Impact

Clinicians using the MEDIT i900 report significantly improved workflows in cases involving:

  • Gingival margin detection for crown preps
  • Full-arch scans involving mobile soft tissue
  • Digital denture impressions
  • Implant scans requiring accurate mucosal capture

Fewer rescans, better detail, and more predictable outcomes are just the beginning.

Final Thoughts

The MEDIT i900 isn’t just another intraoral scanner—it’s a sophisticated, user-centric tool designed with real clinical challenges in mind. Its exceptional soft tissue scanning capability stands out in a crowded market, offering a compelling edge for dentists and labs aiming for the highest level of precision and efficiency.

If soft tissue has been a pain point in your digital workflow, the i900 might just be the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
