Stitching Abutments
One of the most important things to keep in mind when imaging with scanner is to keep a stitching abutments in tact between various models. In dentate cases, we usually keep a few teeth and extract them at the very end. Other times, some surgeons prefer to extract all the teeth, place the implants, and then scan the multi unit abutments. In that situation, it is imperative that you add adjuncts to the equation like bone screws or arch trackers.
This must be applied to relating the preop jaw scan with the jaw scan AND also the tissue scan and domino scan flags in the equation.
If you do not have the stitching landmarks to relate his tissue scan and the domino scan. What gets even more complicated is that the software forces you capture the tissue and merge it to the dominos before you proceed.
The first video explains the software requirements, and the second video demonstrates how you can bypass that requirement for an immediate case

OXO has made capturing implant locations very easy. The software is very simple and intuitive and we can get you from a to z very quickly. But first lets showcase how to set up the machine: In this video we discuss how the scanflags are seated on multi unit abutments: this next video shows how simple […]
