Abstract. We describe the development and verification of an optical, powder-free, intraoral scanner based on a chromatic confocal imaging system, which has been realized in a single-shot multifocal approach. The system is based on a combination of micro-optical and dispersion optical elements. The methodology of recording and analyzing the acquired data are discussed in detail. A proof of concept with the application in intraoral scanning is provided. According to the current findings, the measurement uncertainty, scan speed, and overall performance of the device can well compete with the state-of-the-art of commercially available intraoral scanners.
