Overcoming the Challenges of Full-Arch Digital Scanning 

 

Scanning All-on-X cases using a traditional intraoral scanner presents several challenges 

 

  • Lack of natural reference points with All-on-X cases and abundance of attached mucosa.
  • Identical shaped multi-unit scan adapters often result in difficulties scanning and scanning orientation.
  • Dental technician can struggle aligning scans correctly in the software.  

 

How DIRECTscan overcomes scanning challenges 

 

  • Long horizontal flat shape, with individual symbols and markings to decrease the risk of losing orientation and to reproduce implant position accurately.
  • Partially covers the mucosa which facilitates the continuity of scanning, thus decreasing the risk of losing orientation by the intraoral scanner. 

 

Features and Benefits

 

 

Digital Workflow Efficiency 

 

DIRECTscan seamlessly integrates with your existing IOS, allowing you to perform both in-house or collaborate with the lab of your choice. 

  • A fully open system compatible with the DIRECTarch multi-unit abutment 4.8 universal platform.
  • Achieve final results in as few as three visits, from surgery to completion.
  • Seamlessly integrates into 3Shape and exocad workflows. 

 

Predictable Prosthetic Accuracy 

 

DIRECTscan ensures precise data capture and accurate multi-unit abutment positioning, resulting in a more passive-fitting prosthesis. 

  • Average accuracy is within 10 microns.
  • Passive fitting prosthetic to minimize implant complications.
  • Unique shape with large reference surface to ensure a smooth continuous scanning process.

 

Increase Profitability In Procedures

 

By minimizing the need for expensive equipment, DIRECTscan reduces overall case costs, enhances practice profitability, and support the growth of your full-arch practice. 

  • Save up to 70% compared to other photogrammetry solutions.
  • DIRECTscan can withstand up to 67% more autoclave cycles than competing systems.
  • With 12 DIRECTscan kits, labs can grow their full-arch practice without investing in additional photogrammetry systems.
