For detailed information on cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, please refer to the AS 100 User Manual: Safety, Regulatory and Technical Specifications. Avoid any liquid from leaking into the air outlet near the tip mount or the air inlet at the rear of the scanner (see the figure below), otherwise the scanner may be damaged.
Make sure the lens window at the base of the scanner is clean by wiping it with a moist, lint-free cloth or lens tissue. Slide the tip onto the scanner as shown below. Starting Scanning To start scanning, place the tip of the scanner on the surface of the tooth to stabilize the scanner and press the Start Scan button.
It is recommended to start the first sweep from the occlusal surface, you should start with the first molar. The second sweep can scan both the lingual and buccal sides, and the third scan covers the opposite side of the second sweep. AS 100 User Manual: Installation and Operation...
Acquiring a 3D Model Using the Common Scan Workflow The common scan workflow (default workflow) allows you to scan either a partial or full arch. For either type of scan, you should scan upper jaw, lower jaw, and buccal bite registration. Once this basic information has been scanned, other scan types (such as scan body scanning) can be used to acquire other information.
Page 31
It is recommended to scan these areas until the holes disappear. When the occlusal surface scan is complete, scan the lingual or buccal surface of the teeth in the arch. AS 100 User Manual: Installation and Operation...
Page 32
When the lingual or buccal scan is completed, scan the opposite side of the arch. Re-dry the teeth as appropriate throughout the acquisition process. If you need to remove soft-tissue artifacts, mismatches, or unwanted views during the acquisition, click the tool, then draw a curve that covers the region to be removed on the 3D model.
The example below shows a buccal bite registration. You can use the toolbar on the left side to switch between the scanned occlusion views, or delete the scanned occlusion views for rescanning. AS 100 User Manual: Installation and Operation...
