OVO3 | Scanning the Mandibular Arch

When selected in the Case Setup page (for restoration work or as antagonist scan), the Mandibular scan step is displayed after Maxillary scans (including Maxillary Pre-Op scans) in the 3DiscClinic™ Workflow Menu.

The 3DiscClinic™ Scan Workflow

The Workflow Menu will display steps that correspond to the Restoration options selected in the Case Setup page.

Workflow Menu steps in progress are indicated by a green checkmark.

 To directly access the Mandibulararch, click on the corresponding icon in the Workflow Menu.

• If you rotated the scanner tip to scan the Maxillary arch, rotate the scanner tip to face down. Make sure the scanner tip clicks into place.

•  Avoid moving tissue: retract lips, cheeks & tongue

Scanning Procedure

•  1. Place the sterilized scanner tip in the patient's mouth flat upon the third molars, keeping the scanner tip close to or touching the teeth.

•  2. Switch on the Heron™ IOS Scanner by pressing the ON/OFF button on the scanner handpiece.

•  You may pause the scan at any moment by pressing the ON/OFF button on the handpiece.

•  3. Repeat the same scanning strategy for the Mandibular arch as described for the Maxillary Arch, but in the following order:

1. Occlusal – 2.Lingual – 3.Buccal

When the scan is completed, the 3DiscClinic™ software will process the Mandibular scan data (this may take about a minute).

Using Live Scan Tools

During the scan procedure, once you have scanned a part or all of the arch, Live Scan Tools are displayed below the 3D Model.
