➢ Run the trimming function in impression scan mode. The impression data is shown in the Model View Screen. ➢ Delete unnecessary area in the impression data. ➢ Result will be appeared like below.
When “Impression Scan” is useful Replace the margin of intra-oral data with impression data ✓ ➢ Scan base model. ➢ Turn on “Impression Scan” then mark interesting area. In this case, the area for margin is marked. ➢ Acquire the impression data.
➢ Result will be generated like below. Post & Core case ✓ In some case of Post & Core, it is very difficult to take the data for post area due to the area is very deep and hard to scan.
Page 51
How to use ➢ Scan base model. ➢ Turn on “Impression Scan” then scan impression model. ➢ Result will be generated like below.
Occlusion case ✓ The case to use impression scan to occlusion alignment. How to use ➢ Scan Maxilla and Mandible. ➢ Turn on “Impression Scan” in the occlusion stage and acquires occlusion data using impression model. In this case, you need to take the impression model 360 degrees for each bite.
”High Resolution Scan” is available during impression scan. When the impression data is acquired with high resolution, data will be shown with different color if the model rendering is “Texture off”. 5 Updates to Image Acquisition Software The Image acquisition software automatically checks for updates when the software is running. When a new version of the software is available, the system will automatically download the new version.
