Any ideas anyone?

I need to create a dental crown. This requires scanning a master and then
forming the crown. The initial problem is the scanning. Accuracy needs to be
+/- 5 micron or better. Due to the geometry this should be a non contact
device. Is there such a system? Clearly part size is small...... tooth size
to be exact!!
