Indications for Use
The Emerald Optical Impression Scanner is an optical impression system used to record the topographical
characteristics of the dentition and/or full arch and preparation areas (including features such as implant scan locator
xtures, braces, brackets, etc.). In addition it can record the topographical characteristics of the oral anatomy (such as
soft tissue, gingivae and palate).
The three dimensional model generated from the scan may be further used for study models, and for the design and
manufacturing of dental restorations including implant supported prostheses and full and partial frameworks, and
can be used to design and manufacture physical models of the teeth.
It may be used in conjunction with production of orthodontic appliances, retainer and accessories.
