PC requirements

What others say about TRIOS
My learning curve with using a TRIOS unit was nonexistent. Essentially I picked it up and from the first moment that I did, I was able to take a full-arch scan.
Dr. Barbara Jurimvia 3Shape
We find digital procedures just as accurate and more efficient, since staff doesn’t need to spend time with retakes, or pouring and trimming models.
