Smart Scan
Smart Scan helps you remove scanning artifacts created by moving objects and other parts of
the field that have been scanned inadvertently.
For example, when a patient’s cheek gets in the way during a scan, the Lava C.O.S. will pick
up data from the cheek as part of the scan. Obviously that data is useless when it comes to
making a restoration—and it may even block scan data that is needed. Smart Scan gives you
the capability to remove unwanted data and scan “underneath” to the desired tooth surface.
