The Scanner

iMetric iCam4D

The photogrammetry scanner that captures implant positions with sub-10µm accuracy — the heart of our full-arch workflow.

How it works

The iCam4D is a dedicated photogrammetry device — not an intraoral scanner. It uses multiple precision lenses and sensors to photograph the iCamBody markers placed in the patient's mouth from several positions.

Its software then triangulates the exact 3D position of every implant from those photographs, producing a digital model that is accurate to within 10 microns. This level of precision is essential for passive-fit full-arch restorations on multiple implants.

Sub-10µm Accuracy

Micron-level implant positioning.

Fast Capture

Full-arch scan in minutes.

Multi-Lens System

Multiple sensors for triangulation.

Photo-Based

No intraoral scanning needed.

Technical Specifications

Engineered for Precision

The iCam4D houses a quad-lens photogrammetry engine designed specifically for dental implant capture — every component optimized for micron-level reliability.

Precision Optics

Four 5-megapixel lenses work in concert, capturing every angle simultaneously to eliminate alignment guesswork.

High-Accuracy Capture

The multi-sensor array triangulates implant positions from multiple photographic perspectives, achieving sub-10µm repeatability.

Speed & Efficiency

A full-arch capture takes under two minutes — the patient simply bites on the iCamBody markers while the device photographs.

Digital Innovation

True photogrammetry — not structured light or laser scanning. Photographs are processed into a 3D model with zero physical contact.

Built for Performance

Rigid carbon-fiber housing and calibrated lenses ensure thermal stability and consistent results across every scan.

Vision Perfected

iMetric's proprietary software fuses the four lens images into a single, distortion-free 3D implant map ready for digital design.

Clinical Capture

Intraoral Photogrammetry

The iCam4D is positioned above the patient and photographs the iCamBody markers from multiple angles. The operator simply moves the device around the arch while the quad-lens system captures simultaneous images at each position.

The entire capture is contactless and takes under two minutes. The patient remains comfortable throughout — no intraoral scanner wand, no continuous tracking. The device does all the work in a series of quick photographic exposures.

Contactless photographic capture

Multiple angles in a single pass

Under two minutes per full arch

Real-Time Processing

Instant 3D Visualization

As the iCam4D captures each photographic position, the connected tablet displays the 3D reconstruction in real time. The operator can verify that all iCamBody markers have been captured from sufficient angles before the patient leaves the chair.

This immediate feedback eliminates the need for repeat visits — if a marker isn't fully captured, the operator simply takes one more position before finalizing. The result is a complete, verified dataset every time.

Patient Experience

Comfortable & Non-Invasive

The iCam4D is positioned in front of the patient without any contact with the mouth. The patient simply holds still for a few seconds while the device captures its photographs from a comfortable working distance.

There's no scanning wand, no continuous movement, and no gag reflex trigger. The experience is closer to having a photo taken than a traditional dental scan — making it ideal for patients with sensitivity or anxiety.

No contact with oral tissues

No gag reflex from scanning wands

Comfortable for anxious patients

Why photogrammetry over intraoral scanning?

For full-arch implant cases, photogrammetry delivers accuracy that intraoral scanners simply cannot match.

Passive Fit

Sub-10µm accuracy means your restoration seats without stress on implants — true passive fit.

No Scan Body Limitations

iCamBody markers work across implant systems; no proprietary scan bodies needed.

Reliable at Scale

Full-arch, multi-implant cases where intraoral scanners accumulate error are where iCam4D shines.
