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 adapter 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.
