Getting Started With HeronClinic
Useful Scanning Tips
Always take care when scanning to:
•
Stay in contact with or close to the teeth
(recommended distance from tip to tooth is 0-12 mm)
•
Scan slowly and smoothly, to avoid interrupting the 3D reconstruction
(minimum 1 second per tooth)
•
Keep teeth in the center of the field of view
•
Avoid scanning lips, cheeks, tongues, gloves, etc.
•
Do not hesitate to reset the scan if necessary
Begin your scan by starting on the arch of chosen restoration. If you have selected to
scan the antagonist, you may start by scanning either arch.
