Intraoral photogrammetry scanning with cap scanbody

In edentulous cases of immediate implantation or immediate restoration, the soft tissues will be transformed after installing coded scanbodies. Thus, cap scanbodies can be used to locate the implants on the soft tissues more accurately.

This chapter introduces the scanning process of intraoral photogrammetry with cap scanbody in edentulous cases of immediate implantation.

Suggested scanning process

Example 1:

Both upper jaw and lower jaw are working jaws and without temporary denture.

Col

The suggested scanning process is:

  1. Upper jaw:

    1. Coded scanbody scanning
    2. Cap scanbody scanning

  2. Lower jaw

    (same process with those of the upper jaw)

  3. Bite scanning

Example 2:

Both upper jaw and lower jaw are working jaws with temporary denture.

Col

The suggested scanning process is:

  1. Temporary denture scanning
  2. Bite scanning

  3. Upper jaw

    1. Coded scanbody scanning
    2. Cap scanbody scanning

  4. Lower jaw

    (same process with those of the upper jaw)

  5. Bite check

Temporary denture scanning

Scan the pre-op upper jaw and pre-op lower jaw with the temporary denture, as well as the pre-op bite.

Note

When scanning jaws with the temporary denture, All-on-X Provisional Denture Scanning will be enabled by default for optimizing scanning process of temporary denture.

Coded scanbody scanning

The steps of scanning the coded scanbody can be found in Implant scanning.

Note

  • Skipping coded scanbody scanning is also supported.
  • If the coded scanbodies are not scanned, conversion and mark are not supported.

Cap scanbody scanning

Install the cap scanbodies and start scanning. It can be divided into Cap Scanbody, Scanbody Alignment and Denture Alignment.

Step 1: Cap Scanbody

  1. Scan the gingiva and cap scanbody completely. The scanned cap scanbody will be numbered and aligned with the gingiva.

  2. Click to finish scanning and go to step 2.

    Caution

    To align with the coded scanbodies, the number of cap scanbodies should be no less than 2.

    Manual alignment is also supported. Click to align the cap scanbodies with gingiva manually.

Click to enter the interface of manual alignment. The scanned scanbodies and the gingiva are displayed on the left, while the data of cap scanbody is displayed on the right.

  1. Select the cap scanbody on the align list (for example, the Cap Scanbody 1).

  2. Rotate the scanned model on the left and the cap scanbody on the right to the same position and double-click to choose 3 points on the models respectively.

  3. After choosing points, you can preview the alignment effect.

Other operations

Col

  • Reset: Delete all points on the model.
  • Undo: Undo the last selected point.
  • Cancel: Cancel the changes and exit.

Col

  • Confirm: Confirm the manual alignment.
  • Add: Add another cap scanbody (Maximum: 6).
  • Delete: Delete the cap scanbody.

Step 2: Alignment with coded scanbody

In Step 2, the coded scanbodies, the cap scanbodies and the gingiva will be aligned together.

Click to confirm the alignment effect and go to step 3.

Col

: Successful alignment.

Col

: Failed alignment.

Col

: Hide/show scanned models.

Click to re-align them again or click to manually align them.

Click to enter the interface of manual alignment.

The coded scanbodies are displayed on the right, while the cap scanbodies are displayed on the left.

  1. Rotate the coded scanbodies and the cap scanbodies to the same position.

  2. Select at least 2 scanbodies respectively on each side. The scanbodies to be aligned together share the same color.

    Caution

    If there is only 2 cap scanbodies, please check Only two scanbodies exist.

  3. Preview the alignment effect. Click to confirm the effect.

Other operations

  • Reset: Delete all points on the model.
  • Cancel: Cancel the changes and exit.
  • Confirm: Confirm the manual alignment.

Step 3: Alignment with temporary denture

Caution

If Temporary denture is not selected when creating the order, the Step 3 is not supported.

In Step 3, the cap scanbodies and the temporary denture will be aligned.

Click to confirm the alignment effect and go to the next step.

Click to re-align them again or click to manually align the cap scanbodies and the temporary denture.

Click to enter the interface of manual alignment. The cap scanbodies are displayed on the left, while the temporary denture is displayed on the right.

  1. Rotate them to the same position and double-click to choose 3 sets of points respectively.

    Note

    • The alignment mode include Oral Mucosal Region Alignment and Tissue Surface Alignment.
    • When Tissue Surface Alignment is selected, the denture on the right should be rotated first.

    Oral Mucosal Region Alignment:

    Tissue Surface Alignment:

  2. Preview the alignment effect and click to confirm.

Other operations

  • Reset: Delete all points on the model.
  • Undo: Undo the last selected point.
  • Cancel: Cancel the changes and exit.
  • Confirm: Confirm the manual alignment.

Step 4: Conversion and mark (optional)

Conversion and mark are supported when alignment is completed.

Caution

To converse and mark the coded scanbodies, please finish scanning coded scanbody first.

Bite scanning

When the coded scanbodies and cap scanbodies on the upper jaw and lower jaw have been scanned, you can bite the scanning and check the occlusion.

Click to finish the whole scanning process.
