Smart Optics Activity 850 - Case Study: Bridge with Squeeze Bite

Scanning procedure
36
Use the spacer plate to ensure the correct height alignment in the scanner. (see
Figures 33 and 34).
A tooth diagram of the jaw to be scanned is located at the upper left. Activate the "Jaw type"
checkbox to select whether an upper or lower jaw is involved.
Indicate under "Scan type" whether only one jaw model (standard) is to be processed or whether
you have more information to be scanned, such as a bite registration, a wax-up or a scan body
(abutment).
Below the tooth diagram, you will see several boxes that are coloured differently to make them
easier to distinguish. These checkboxes are used to activate scan strategies for the
restoration types, such as "Simple coping", "Anatomically reduced coping",
„"Veneer", etc. For this, please first select your required restoration types and then click on the
corresponding tooth in your tooth diagram.
You can learn about further procedures for operating the device based on the examples below.
12.3 Case study: bridge with bite registration
Case study:
In this example we shall scan a bridge of 34-36.
Select "Anatomically reduced coping" under scan type and click on teeth 34, 36 and 35 as
"Reduced pontic" in the tooth diagram. The teeth are now coloured with the relevant colour of the
scan type in the tooth diagram.
Coloured squares appear in the 3D viewer at the same time (see Fig. 37).
These squares indicate the scan position of the tooth. The corresponding colouring coincides
with the selected scan strategy/scan type under the tooth diagram on the left. Keep the left
mouse button pressed to move these squares over the centre of the corresponding tooth stump.
The scan software now detects the position of the tooth and will apply the corresponding scan
strategy for these coordinates.
If you wish to delete a scan position, click on the corresponding checkpoint in the tooth diagram.
You can change the scan type of a position in the same way. Select the new scan type and click
on the position that is to be changed in the tooth diagram. The scan type defined previously is
then replaced by the newly selected one. The colouring of the tooth highlighted in the diagram
changes correspondingly.
