The usual method consisted of scanning the gingiva area without the scan body fastened on in the maxilla/mandible stage. Then in the scan body stage, the area would be rescanned with the scan body fastened.
However, some users scan the maxilla/mandible stage with the scan body fastened. In this instance, the user must erase or edit the maxilla/mandible data, unfasten the scan body, and rescan.
Additionally, there are instances where scanning is performed only during the maxilla/mandible stage using products that integrate the Healing Abutment and Scan Body.
The newly added “Replicate Data to Scan Body Stage” function allows you to select the scan data in the maxilla/mandible scan stage and replicate it to the scan body stage.
However, the gingiva scan data obtained during the maxilla/mandible stage is essential to form the abutment's profile during the CAD process. Additional scans should be made for the gingiva area after using this replicate function.
How to replicate data to the Scan Body stage
1. Move to the scan body stage after obtaining the data in the maxilla/mandible scan stage.
- Click the “Replicate Data to Scan Body” function at the bottom of the screen.
2. Use the “Selection Tool” shown at the bottom to select data areas obtained during the maxilla/mandible scan stage.
3. When you click “Next Step,” you will receive a message that guides you to scan the gingiva area maxilla/mandible scan stage. When you press “Confirm,” replication with the scanned body base data is complete.
4. After data replication is completed, you must return to the maxilla/mandible scan stage to undo the fastened scan body and obtain scan data of the gingiva area.
