During the scanning process, adjust the surgical light to keep the light away from
the patient’s mouth to avoid interference with the scanner.
7.5Scanning Approach
The recommended scanning method is to start with a molar, since it has greater
details for easier identification. Change the scanning angle to less than 60 degrees
during scanning to allow the surfaces to overlap, if the overlap is too small, the
alignment may be lost.
7.6 Scanning Protocol
The recommended scanning protocol consisting of 3 sweeps: occlusal, lingual
and buccal to ensure good data coverage of all surfaces.
It is recommended to start the first sweep from the occlusal surface. If there is a
preparation, start with preparation so that the gingival area can be scanned before gum
collapses; if there is no preparation (for example, in orthodontic cases), you should
start with the first molar.
The second sweep can scan both the lingual and buccal sides, and the third scan
covers the opposite side of the second sweep.
