Important Scanning Procedures—Implant Acquisition
Scanning One Surface at a Time
• Start with the occlusal surface, beginning with the implant area and then scanning the
surrounding teeth on the jaw.
• Next, scan the lingual surface, starting with the implant area and then scanning the
surrounding teeth on the jaw.
• Scan the buccal surface, starting with the implant area and then scanning the surrounding
teeth on the jaw.
• Finally, acquire the buccal bite registration.
Scanning Each Tooth Individually
• Scan one tooth at a time, following the occlusal/lingual/buccal, buccal/occlusal/lingual, or
lingual/occlusal/buccal scan path.
• Once the entire tooth is scanned, move to the next tooth and repeat the scanning process
until you have scanned all the teeth in the implant area, as well as the surrounding teeth on the
jaw.
• Finally, acquire the buccal bite registration.
Scanning Metal, Crowns, or Holes
• When scanning metal amalgams and crowns, thoroughly dry the teeth before scanning.
• Adjust the operatory light away from the patient to decrease light scatter.
• If holes are displayed in the scanned image near the restoration area, re-scan the area until the
holes are filled. Holes away from the restoration area are not of great concern. To better view
any holes, turn off True Color by clicking
. Then, place the cursor over the 3D image,
left-click and hold to rotate the model. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in on the 3D model.
Removing Soft-Tissue Artifacts
• If you detect soft-tissue artifacts in an image during acquisition, click and left-click at
several points around the soft tissue to draw lines around it. Double-click to delete the soft
tissue. Re-scan the area to fill any holes.
