EFFINGHAM, Ill., Dec. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- At the 2018 Winter Conference held on December 7th and 8th, Heartland Dental held its first-annual ScanMania event. During ScanMania, the top five qualifying team members in the company competed head to head to see who could complete the fastest dental scan on their supported doctor using the iTero Element^® scanner. Over the past few months, these top qualifying team members were identified using scan time data.

"We showcased scanners through ScanMania to communicate our commitment to achieving the skills necessary to be clinically successful. In the end, scanning speed is only the foundation upon which clinical effectiveness or results rest. This technology is about patient care and how we can support dentists as they help patients achieve the best dental health possible. We've achieved great things this year with helping supported dentists understand the value and benefits intraoral scanners can bring to their offices, and will work to continue that in 2019," said Dr. Robert Mongrain, Director of Clinical Advocacy - Scanners at Heartland Dental.

ScanMania was held in conjunction with Heartland Dental's goal of helping supported offices across the country implement iTero Element scanners. With the help of Align Technology, more than 900 scanners have been rolled out to supported offices year to date. In conjunction with that, Heartland Dental now supports the largest network of Invisalign^®providers, who have completed over 50,000 cases of Invisalign this year.
