Scanning procedure

You can tell from the colouring of the file tab whether a data set is already "matched",

i.e. whether there is an STL. (Blue - individual records, Yellow - STL data set,

Grey - 2D scan) (see Fig. 57)

12.5 Case study: occlusion scan

You can also scan a jaw pair in occlusion.

In our example, we shall also scan the lower jaw scan from section 9.3. (3-member bridge) and

the upper jaw scan from section 9.4. (complete jaw scan) in occlusion.

To do this, we compile the scan data for the upper jaw and the lower jaw as described above.

Matching is not yet carried out.

Sample images:
