Adjust the Scanning Field of View

The scanning area can be reduced if tongue, cheek, instruments, etc. are interfering with your
scans. Most clinical operators do not change the Field of View.
Click and drag the Field of View indictor to the desired setting. The examples below are with the
standard tip.

Evaluating Your Model

Checking Your Model For Missing Data

Click Data Density View to evaluate the model for low data. If multiple scans are needed,
deactivate this button to speed up the process.
1 Click Data Density View if it is not already activated. The model refreshes with the dark blue
and purple areas indicating the least data. Rotate the model to analyze it.
2 Dark areas on your restoration site and interproximal contact areas should be rescanned.
Look for colored areas on the prepared tooth, especially on the margin. The adjacent teeth
should have good data on the interproximal contact area, occlusal surfaces, and of the lingual
and buccal contours. Data below the height of contour is not as crucial on the adjacent teeth.

If areas lack detail, take additional scans.
