OVO3 | Scanpath Strategy

For optimal scanning results, 3DISC recommends the following Scanpath Strategy:

Occlusal

•  Place the scanner flat on the back molars
•  Gently trace a line from molar to molar in a slow continuous movement
•  Take your time to scan the full occlusal surface for all molars & premolars

Buccal

• Scan from molar to center line at 45°angle on both sides
•  Rescan at 90°, gently changing angle of tip to cover maximum gingival surface

•  Scan from molar to molar at 45°angle, gently changing angle to cover maximum tooth & gingival surface

• Do not hesitate to reset the scan if necessary

•  1. Scan tooth and 1cm of mandibular gingiva in molar/pre-molar region.

  Angle scanner tip to take in as much gingiva as possible.

  

•  2. Pause 3-4 seconds on mandibular gingiva, then scan up from mandibular to maxillary gingiva.

•  3. Pause 3-4 seconds on maxillary gingiva
•  4. Scan from maxillary gingiva to mandibular gingiva
•  Repeat for adjacent tooth as necessary…
