Unpredictable Results in Real Conditions Scanners often fail to capture accurate margins when soft tissue, saliva, or bleeding are present-forcing dentists to rely on analog impressions for dependable results. Habit and Familiarity Most dentists are deeply accustomed to analog workflows and are reluctant to change proven routines. Steep Learning Curve Digital scanning requires new skills and practice; perfect results are not immediate, which can discourage adoption. High Upfront Investment Digital systems require significant initial costs, with ongoing updates and uncertain ROI if scanning performance is inconsistent. Workflow Integration Issues Integrating digital scanners into existing practices can disrupt established processes and demand workflow changes. Patient and Lab Expectations While patients and technicians favor digital for comfort and speed, unpredictable scanner results often push clinics back to analog methods for reliability.
