15.17.1 Positioning the scanner
NOTE
The Buccal/ Opposing scan option cannot be used with
impression scanning. Use the impressions to create an
articulated model.
Ensure the tip of the scanner is pointing towards the distal
so that the orientation of the model will be correct.
Due to the nature of impressions, the normal positioning
of the scanner may not be able to capture all of the walls
of the impression. You can also tilt the scanner up or
down to achieve the necessary point of view.
15.17.2 Scanning
See section 14.4 “Positioning the scanner” on page 39 for
positioning.
NOTE
Be careful not to squeeze or otherwise distort the
impression while scanning.
1. Select Prep if it is not already selected.
NOTE
Do NOT select Scan Bite Registration, which resembles
an impression.
2. Use the same scan pattern as for an intraoral or a model
scan.
NOTE
From the occlusal view, the impression can give the optical
illusion of looking like a regular model.
