How long should a Straumann scanner last?

A Straumann intraoral scanner (like SIRIOS or Virtuo Vivo) is generally designed to last:

5 to 8 years in a busy dental practice, and often longer with proper care.

Some well-maintained units can even exceed that range if usage is moderate and servicing is consistent.

What actually determines lifespan (more important than years)

1. Usage volume

High-volume clinics (20–50 scans/day): faster wear on cables, tips, connectors
Low-volume clinics: significantly longer lifespan

2. Handling & physical care

Drops or impact → the biggest cause of early failure
Improper storage or sterilization misuse can shorten life

3. Software & firmware updates

Regular updates help performance
But poor update handling can cause instability (fixable, not permanent damage)

4. Calibration maintenance

Regular calibration keeps scan accuracy stable
Neglect leads to “it still works but doesn’t fit well” problems

5. Component stress (normal aging)

Over time, non-critical parts may need service:

cables
connectors
protective sleeves/tips
internal alignment checks

Straumann Scanner Care & Maintenance Tips

Run calibration checks regularly
Avoid physical drops (major cause of optical failure)
Keep software updated in controlled clinical downtime
Ensure proper cable handling and storage
Clean scanner tip using recommended protocols
