### 1/5 — Inutile

*2025-09-13, version 5.2.0*

Bonjour, application Communicate complètement inutile du fait de son ABSENCE de pouvoir télécharger les fichiers DCM/STL. Et ce malgré une licence laboratoire complète. Je ne comprends donc pas l’utilité ni l’existence de cette application…

### 5/5 — Tip top

*2025-02-12, version 5.2.0*

Funktioniert sehr gut.

### 5/5 — Trios 5

*2024-05-27*

I have had nothing but great experience with Trios 5 scanner!!! My staff used to use Medit scanners, but they now feel Medit scanner like a foreign object in their hand. 
Trios 5 is cordless!! It is easy and convenient to use.  The scanner scans the entire arch within a minute with clear image by one person. Soft tissue is easy to manage. 
Highly recommended!!!
