[colLab] The interproximal area of an orthodontic model

 

The Interproximal Area Scan feature minimizes holes that are likely to be created when an orthodontic model is scanned.

• The Interproximal Area Scan feature provides two scan stages that the buccal and lingual side of an orthodontic model can be scanned through separate scan stages.
• The buccal side is scanned by placing the model vertically and the lingual side is scanned by tilting up the model at 45 degrees.

1. Create form information by entering tooth type, option, and notes, and then click Save & Scan.

• Project type > Orthodontic

2. Complete the scan strategy setting, and click Confirm.

• Interproximal Area Scan(2 steps) > On
• Clear aligner > On (if this option is enabled, all holes are auto-filled in the final result.)

3. Insert the model, the lingual side of which is tilted up at 45 degrees on the flexible multi-die, to the scanner. Adjust the scan depth, and start scan.

4. The first scan stage is complete. 

• Check whether all scan images are acquired for necessary areas. If not, perform additional scan.

5. Next, insert the model, the buccal side of which is placed vertically on the flexible multi-die, to the scanner. Adjust the scan depth, and start scan.

6. The second scan stage is complete.

• Check whether all scan images are acquired for necessary areas. If not, perform additional scan.

7. Align the lingual data and the buccal data by manual.

• 1 point or 3 points can be used for alignment.
• Mark alignment points onto both data respectively.

8. The alignment has been completed.

• Remove unnecessary scan data by using editing tools, and then click Next to start the merging process.

9. Check the merged scan data, and click Exit to save and complete the case.
