I've had handfuls of scanners over the years and support has always been the biggest variable. We recently had a scanner bought through and implant company and received limited to no support.

This was very early on before Armen had a vast number of technique and online support articles in his blog! Little was publicly known at the time about this new scanner but I felt confident in my purchase for a few reasons: 1) Armen had validated the product and was standing behind it... I knew of Armen from DentalTown and had many years of public posts to evaluate his character; 2) Limited demos available at the time; 3) some clinical accuracy data out of Europe that required zooming in on a powerpoint presentation that was recorded second-hand via camera phone ha! SO needless to say, I put a lot of eggs in the "Armen is standing behind this product" basket. We have NOT been disappointed. From personalized service from both Frank and Armen, to our vast success and joy using the product and deciding in late 2018 to buy a second Medit i500, I have nothing but good things to say about the product and Cad-Ray. What a bunch of self-less individuals. Armen has offered to remote in and I even took him up on the offer once and he remoted in immediately to take a look at something.

Before I put my hands on it, I had some prejudices against all scanners. They were bulky, laggy in capturing the images, etc. When I finally had the chance to use an intraoral scanner and get introductory training with Laura from CAD-RAY a few weeks ago, I totally changed my view of this product. Very soon, I was able to scan crown, bridge, and even denture cases. Of course, I have had some knowledge about the digital scanner from CEs provided in the past, but being able to apply it in the daily practice in such a short time was beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend MEDIT i700 and training from CAD-RAY.

Most manufacturers recommend that you start your imaging at the second molar area, which is the least practical area to start with. The tongue and the lip and saliva are a quick distraction as the scanner does not know what you are trying to image. The incisal edges of lower anterior are also a tough place to start as the incisal translucency lets the light transmit through the enamel instead of reflecting to the cameras.
A good place to start is the second premolar first molar area where you can use the tip of the scanner to displace the tongue. Reducing the focal length to 12 mm’s allows the user to hide hard and soft tissue that can impede the rate of image capture. Watch the deliberate movement of the camera that helps the user manage the area to be captured with relative ease
When scanning for an oral appliance with an intra-oral scanner, you can capture the upper jaw and the lower jaw and the Verical Dimension in protrusive, but if you don’t transfer that information to the lab, there is a good chance they will not properly mount them
There are a lot of software available to you where you can mount and pin the models together so when they are printed, they can use male and female components to align them properly
Every type of user should watch this carefully and appreciate where we recommend you start scanning the lower arch. In our courses we go in to great detail on why you should not start in the anterior or the second molars. you instantly set yourself up for trouble. here’s the easiest place to start and to build and accurate model with Also, as new user, if you are working alone, you can use the optragate to retract the lip and the tip of the camera to displace the tongue. We recommend that you use a focal setting of 12 mm’s. This may slow advanced users down, but for new users, it helps hide distractions for the camera and software and speed you along. If you look in the bottom right corner, anything in purple is what the camera ignores. There are certain elements you want the camera not to see so it doesn’t slow you down
quick little pointer for a new user that shows how to protect areas so that you don’t introduce errors like the tongue getting in your way. the blue models areas that are protected so any future data that lands on it is automatically deleted
With every 3D software, there are times where the data sets are too large for the software to recognize and merge models to. Once in a while, you may have to help in manual mode. In this case, you can see how the open bite prohibited the models from being articulated properly and we had to use the manual mode to pin the left and right bites
Medit i500 was used to scan and duplicated a fractured denture. It was originally scanned in the patient’s mouth to capture the opposing and the bite and then submitted to the lab for fabrication
In this video we review with the instant replay feature of the medit i500 on how to scan a denture and not introduce double images or errors in the model. We first scan the occlusale surfaces of the denture intra-orally (this does not really matter as the software doesn’t know any differently), we then image the opposing, and then bite. We then remove the relined upper broken denture and continue the imaging to capture the intaglio
In this case presentation, we introduce the Shining Aoralscan for beginner doctors who want to get into digital impressions. Proper isolation and retraction is a key element of scanning. In this demonstration we showcase how a new user can easily control the operating field to deliver high quality restorations
Proper isolation and retraction is key for all intra-oral scanners. In this video, you can appreciate how the upper and lower arches were isolated, the margins were exposed with retraction cord and imaged with the shining 3d aoralscan
To date, the literature and research clearly points out that full arch scans with edentulous arches are prone to inaccuracies. That’s because we have never had a way to measure and verify models while scanning. There are two features unique to the Medit i500, namely the reliability map and the artificial intelligent implant suprastructure identification system. Individually, they do not provide much information with regards to accuracy, but if you understand how they work, you can utilize them to assess accuracy while you are scanning edentulous arches.
We proved the validity of this concept by utilizing these two features by incorporating a scan from the imetric Icam4D scanner and merging its data with the IOS to render a perfect match. Details are posted for our users in the Imaging Implants Section of our tutorial liabrary
This is a preview of a single unit case that was scanned using the Artificial Implant Suprastructure Identification System of the Medit Software. To see the full case follow this link
Hydroflouric Acid Etched Treated Scanbody Surface makes Intra-Oral Scanning much easier for all dental scanners. Apply a coat of HF for a mere 10 seconds and rinse off.
In this clinical case a patient lost a pre-existing crown. The remaining tooth structure had recurrent decay and a new crown was warranted.
After anesthesia was administered, the clearance from opposing dentition was assessed. The preparation was reduced to accommodate the necessary thickness of the material.
Once adequate clearance was achieved an Optragate was placed and an isolite was used to isolate the area. The preparation was scanned and then the lower arch was captured. The buccal bite was then taken to along the arches together
With Meditlink software, you have the option of designing the case yourself or sending it off to your partnered lab. The following video shows what happens to your case once the lab downloads the case
In this particular case, we designed our own crown and milled it with the coritec one milling machine
Once the amber lithium disilicate material was milled, its for was verified clinically. The crown was then crystallized and seated with NX3 resin cement
Photogammetry has set the highest standard for full arch accuracy in digital dentistry for edentulous patients with multiple implant fixtures. An easy scan in under 15 seconds captures enough detail on scanbodies that help the software capture the location of the fixtures. Conversely, Intra-Oral Scanners (IOS) do not garner support for most of the literature that is currently published in dental journals. Scan paths can dictate the outcome of 3D model and determine how correctly it replicates the intra-oral condition. The same scan can render a variety of results and models based on the user and the direction the scans are taken. Simply stated, the user is control over the final product.
To use the ICam 4D scanner you must first calibrate the machine with a plate immediately prior to the intra-oral scan capture. There are specific reference points that the camera and software recognizes and after you capture about a dozen landmarks, you are ready for an intra-oral scan
After the camera is calibrated, the patient, or in this demonstration case, the model with Multi-Unit Abutment analogs is mounted with ICam Reference Bodies that are shaped like dominos. They can attach to the multiunit abutment or directly to the implant fixture (available soon in the USA).
The markers are captured by the device in the software with multiple identification marks, ideally 10 marks on each scan post. This data is then exported as an stl file that has all the locations of each cylinder preserved. This whole process just takes minutes. Most people just utilize this device for full arch impressions so they can bypass the verification jig for large cases. Here, we use it to assess the accuracy of the medit i500 ios to provide cross arch accuracy if doctors follow our protocols for imaging, which utilizes the reliability map as a guide for imaging. When then utilize the Artificial Intelligent Implant Suprastructure Identification Software to merge and evaluate the accuracy of the ios scan.
save the implant scanbody cyliners and their coordinates
There are a lot of ways one can introduce errors into a full arch scan with any ios, but the medit’s powerful features that include the reliability map and the AI tool separate it from all other scans that do not allow you to assess the accuracy of your scan while you are imaging. You can only do so with the fabrication of a verification jig
In this clinical presentation, we demonstrate the removal of a crown that has recurrent decay. The bleeding tissue was managed with a double cord technique and expasyl and the margin was captured with the medit i500. The margin was also defined in the native imaging software which allows the user to visualize the detail before designing it or send it off to the lab. Once the case is transferred to cad software, the designed margins carry through and there is an opportunity to modify it
Have you ever compared the milled product with the designed restoration?
We scanned with the medit i500, designed with exocad and milled with coritec. after try-in, we scanned the restoration in the bluephase and then merged it with the design in exocad to see how well our material, or design, and our margins measured up against the proposal. we also documented the fit clinically and with radiographs. you can download the 3d models of the case and compared them yourself
In this video we show how to you can digitally pour up the intaglio of a denture scan with the medit software where you scan in the impression mode, “reverse normal”, process the case and the add a base to it. You can then immediately send it to a printer
