Important Scanning Procedures—Restoration Acquisition Scanning One Surface at a Time • Start with the occlusal surface, beginning with the preparation area and then scanning the surrounding teeth on the jaw. • Next, scan the lingual surface, starting with the preparation area and then scanning the surrounding teeth on the jaw.
If you detect soft-tissue artifacts in an image during acquisition, click and left-click at several points around the soft tissue to draw lines around it. Double-click to delete the soft tissue. Re-scan the area to fill any holes. CS 3500 User and Installation Guide (9H4853)_Ed07...
To prepare the CS 3500, follow these steps: Make sure the lens window at the base of the CS 3500 is clean by wiping it with a moist, lint-free cloth or lens tissue. Slide the tip onto the CS 3500 as illustrated, with the lens facing downward (A) for a lower jaw view or upward (B) for an upper jaw view.
Press the power button for one second to power on the CS 3500. 1 sec. Let the CS 3500 warm up for approximately three minutes to enable the antifog feature on the tip. Using the Collar to Scan Anterior Teeth It is recommended that you use the collar when scanning the anterior teeth.
Acquiring a 3D Model for Restoration You can use the CS 3500 to scan either a partial or full arch. For either type of scan, you should acquire images of the upper jaw, lower jaw, and the buccal bite registration. The software combines these images to create a 3D model.

Important: When scanning a tooth, keep approximately a 30% overlap with the last image. Slowly move the CS 3500 tip along the occlusal surface to scan the remaining teeth in the preparation area, keeping approximately a 30% overlap with the last image.
Page 40
The example below shows a 3D model of the upper jaw when the occlusal, lingual, and buccal surfaces have been completely scanned. Important: If holes are displayed in the scanned image on the preparation area, re-scan the area until the holes are filled. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in on the preparation area for a closer look.
Have the patient bite down. Position the CS 3500 at a 90-degree angle to the buccal surface of the preparation area, and align the point where the upper and lower teeth meet in the middle of the video preview screen.
Page 42
To complete a partial buccal bite image, move the CS 3500 slightly more gingival, toward the missing arch, and ensure that there is at least a 30% overlap between the second buccal bite acquisition and the previous one.
Place the cursor over the area you want to refine, and left-click and drag the mouse to select the teeth for refinement. You should include the preparation, the adjacent surfaces of neighboring teeth, the teeth on the opposite arch, and at least one buccal bite registration acquisition in this selection. CS 3500 User and Installation Guide (9H4853)_Ed07...
Page 44
Important: Use the mouse to angle the image, and select teeth from above -- not from the side. This prevents teeth behind the target teeth from being refined. Important: You cannot select more than half an arch, or you will not be able to continue with the refinement process.
If you find holes in the preparation area, click and re-scan the teeth that are missing data. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until you are satisfied with the 3D model. CS 3500 User and Installation Guide (9H4853)_Ed07...

Note: The 2D Image feature is available only during the acquisition step. To select 2D images, follow these steps: Click Manipulate the 3D model to the position you want to view.
Acquiring a 3D Model for Orthodontics You can use the CS 3500 to scan a full arch to create a 3D model. You then export this model to the CS Model software, where you can use the electronic model to take basic distance measurements, eliminating the need for taking impressions and working with or storing stone models.

Important: When scanning a tooth, keep approximately a 30% overlap with the last image. Slowly move the CS 3500 tip along the occlusal surface to scan the remaining teeth, keeping approximately a 30% overlap with the last image. Tip: It is recommended that you use the collar when scanning anterior teeth.
Page 56
The example below shows a 3D model of the upper jaw when the occlusal, lingual, and buccal surfaces have been completely scanned, as well as much of the palate. Important: If holes are displayed in the scanned image, re-scan the area until the holes are filled.
Have the patient bite down. Position the CS 3500 at a 90-degree angle to the buccal surface of the teeth, and align the point where the upper and lower teeth meet in the middle of the video preview screen. Rest the tip on the tooth surface to help steady the CS 3500.
Page 58
To complete the bite, acquire the teeth on the opposing jaw, directly opposite of the green box. To complete a partial buccal bite image, move the CS 3500 slightly more gingival, toward the missing arch, and ensure that there is at least a 30% overlap between the second buccal bite acquisition and the previous one.

The example below shows a 3D model of the upper jaw when the occlusal, lingual, and buccal surfaces have been completely scanned. Important: If holes are displayed in the scanned image on the implant area, re-scan the area until the holes are filled. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in on the implant area for a closer look.
Have the patient bite down. Position the CS 3500 at a 90-degree angle to the buccal surface of the implant area, and align the point where the upper and lower teeth meet in the middle of the video preview screen. Rest the tip on the tooth surface to help steady the CS 3500.
Page 68
The example below shows a buccal bite registration. A dot is displayed at the bottom of the window to indicate the capture was successful. A successful bite image includes both the upper and lower arch. Half of a dot (only one arch, upper or lower) indicates a partial buccal bite. The example below shows that one complete buccal bite image and one-half of a buccal bite image have been acquired.
Page 69
To complete a partial buccal bite image, move the CS 3500 slightly more gingival, toward the missing arch, and ensure that there is at least a 30% overlap between the second buccal bite acquisition and the previous one. Tip: If you need to acquire a second buccal bite image because an opposing arch is missing, always move toward the opposing arch with the CS 3500.
Using the Free Cut Tool to Cut Out the Implant Area The Free Cut tool enables you to remove the section of the image containing the implant so it can be replaced with the scan body image. To cut the implant area from the 3D image, follow these steps: Click Note: If you selected the Enable Refinement Check option in the Preferences window, the software will refine the image before you perform the cutting step.
Page 71
Note: If you removed too much of the image, click to restore the image and repeat the cutting process. When you have finished cutting out the implant area, continue with the scan body acquisition. CS 3500 User and Installation Guide (9H4853)_Ed07...
Acquiring the Scan Body on the Implant Jaw After you install the scan body, scan the jaw to incorporate the scan body into the 3D image. To acquire an image of the jaw with the scan body in position, follow these steps: Install the scan body.
• Click to scale the models to their best view. • Click to leave the split-screen view, which enables you to modify the 3D model. Images in the split-screen view cannot be modified. CS 3500 User and Installation Guide (9H4853)_Ed07...
