Carrying out an Automatic Bite Alignment
The Automatic Bite-Alignment feature enables the 3D software to automatically
recognize and align the patient’s maxillary and mandibular arches based on a brief
scan of a segment of the patient’s bite in occlusion.
Recommended Scanpath Strategy
Scan Molar/Pre-Molar Segments
For the EzScan-i to automatically recognize the
Mandibular and Maxillary arches, it is recommended
you:
STEP 1.
Start scanning by pressing the
Start/Stop button on the scanner.
STEP 2.
Scan vertically along a tooth and 1cm of gingiva in the
molar/pre-molar region
STEP 3.
Angle the scanner tip to take in as much gingiva as
possible
STEP 4.
Pause 3-4 seconds on mandibular gingiva
STEP 5.
Scan up from mandibular gingiva to maxillary gingiva
STEP 6.
Pause 3-4 seconds on maxillary gingiva
STEP 7.
Repeat for adjacent tooth as necessary…
Note:
Take your time when scanning gingival regions. The EzScan software
calculates the
3D bite reconstruction
based on
gingival
data.
This makes it possible to successfully scan
edentulous
areas of the arch.
Auto-locking of bite scan
Once the software recognizes the scanned bite segment:
•
A sound signal is heard
•
The scan automatically
locks
•
The
initial scanned arches are overlayed
