Scanning Overview Scan the restoration site using the Planmeca scanner to capture the image of the tooth (pre-operative or wax-up), preparation, opposing teeth, buccal bite, and/or bite registration. Scanning the restoration site requires proper site preparation, correct placement and movement of the scanner, and a sufficient number of scans to ensure adequate digitalization of the restoration site.
An audio tone plays to indicate that the system is capturing data. The system changes the Live View to orange and stops the audio feedback if you have moved too far and the system needs data overlap. Mute or change the volume on your laptop to change the audio feedback. Scanning Planmeca PlanScan User Manual...
The most recent scan added to the model displays with a color coding to indicate the focal distance of the data added. • Green - close to the tip • Yellow/Orange - middle of the range • Red - end of the range (far away from tip) Note: Any color shown means the scanner IS capturing data.
Data below the height of contour is not as crucial on the adjacent teeth. If areas lack detail, take additional scans. Scanning Planmeca PlanScan User Manual...
With a couple of additional scans, the example is greatly improved. Click Data Density View again to return to the normal view. Click the Margin tab or click the Next button when finished with scanning. Eraser Tool Use the Eraser Tool to remove parts of the scanned model. This can be used to remove unnecessary data like extra teeth, tongue, cheek, etc.
• There must be sufficient data of the adjacent teeth in the scans of the preparation and the bite registration in order for the two models to align. • Ensure there are no gaps between the bite registration material and the adjacent teeth. Scanning Planmeca PlanScan User Manual...
Have the patient bite down firmly or press the articulated model down firmly for the impression. If trimming of the bite is needed to expose more of the adjacent teeth, trim the bite in the mouth.

Scanning Buccal/Opposing The opposing teeth are scanned to acquire bite information for the proposal. The buccal bite is scanned to align the preparation model with the opposing model. Scan Opposing On the Setup tab, select Buccal/Opposing. On the Scan tab, select Scan Opposing. Starting with an occlusal view, scan the occlusal surfaces of the opposing dentition.
The buccal bite model is translucent on the Alignment screen to aid in evaluation. The buccal bite has an extra Show/Hide Buccal option. This enables you to hide the buccal bite model and evaluate the opposing and prep models. Scanning Planmeca PlanScan User Manual...
To align models, drag and drop the buccal bite, pre-op, or bite registration over the prep model. The models will snap into place or will return to their original positions. In Buccal/Opposing cases, the opposing model appears after the prep and buccal bite are aligned.
Activate the scanner and begin the scans with the occlusal of one of the adjacent teeth. Once you have established where you are, you can begin scanning the preparation. Scan the entire preparation and any of the adjacent tooth data that was removed. Scanning Planmeca PlanScan User Manual...
