7.4.1
Scanning the Maxillary Arch
When scanning the Maxillary arch, we recommend you scan in the following order:
1. Occlusal – 2. Buccal – 3. Palatal
1. Scan Maxillary Occlusal End-to-End
Occlusal Surface
First scan the OCCLUSAL surface from molar to molar, with
a slow smooth motion, ensuring full occlusal surface is
captured for all molars and premolars.
This initial path will drive the cross-arch
accuracy of the scan, so always stay flat on
the teeth.
It may be useful to angle the scanner slightly
when you come to the incisor and canine teeth.
2. Scan Maxillary Buccal LEFT
a. Scan the BUCCAL area from molar to center line on
LEFT side, ensuring the connection of surfaces:
Scan with 45°angle to get part occlusal + part
•
buccal
• Scan with 90°angle to get last part of buccal
b. Scan gum 3-4mm in molar/pre-molar
area on LEFT side.
3. Scan Maxillary Buccal RIGHT
c. Scan BUCCAL area from molar to center line on RIGHT
side, ensuring the connection of surfaces:
Scan with 45°angle to get part
•
occlusal + part buccal
• Scan with 90°angle to get remaining
part of buccal
d. Scan gum 3-4mm in molar/pre-molar area on RIGHT side
