Medit, in collaboration with its partner Samsun Vina, has donated a set of intraoral scanners to five prestigious medical universities in Vietnam. Each institution received one Medit i600, one Medit i700, and one Medit i700 wireless scanner to enhance their dental education programs. The universities benefiting from this donation are Hanoi Medical University, Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, and Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy.
Enhancing Dental Education
Hanoi Medical University, with over 120 years of history, is a key institution in Vietnam for training medical personnel nationwide. Hai Phong University of Medicine and Pharmacy is renowned for its high-quality education and experienced faculty. Thai Nguyen University of Medicine and Pharmacy plays a crucial role in developing specialized medical professionals to serve the ethnic minorities in northern Vietnam. Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, established in 1957, has trained thousands of medical professionals for the Central and Central Highlands regions. Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy is a leading institution in the Mekong Delta, focusing on training doctors and pharmacists and conducting scientific research.
All five universities emphasize Odonto-Stomatology Dentistry, making them ideal recipients of Medit’s cutting-edge technology. The donation of Medit intraoral scanners will significantly enhance dental education at these institutions. Students will benefit from access to advanced digital tools, enabling them to develop practical skills and deepen their theoretical knowledge. This infusion of technology into the curriculum is expected to elevate the overall quality of education and better prepare future dental professionals.
Supporting Digital Dentistry Advancements
The Medit Intraoral Scanner offers any practice easy entry into digital dentistry thanks to its speed and accuracy. Lightweight and equipped with various tip sizes, it takes rapid, full-color video-based scans of patient anatomy, enhancing the comfort of both the appointment experience and the overall treatment process. Furthermore, Medit provides high-quality software for clinical use free of charge, allowing students to download and use these tools to manage their digital dentistry workflow effectively. This includes the subscription-free Medit Link and Medit Apps, which offer a suite of tools to enhance digital dentistry practices.
As digital dentistry rapidly advances in Southeast Asia, Vietnam stands out as a key country in this transformation. Recognizing this, Medit has increased user convenience by launching a Vietnamese version of Medit Link specifically for its Vietnamese users this year. This initiative underscores Medit’s commitment to supporting the advancement of the dental profession in an increasingly digital landscape.
