I prefer a digital intraoral scan data for 3 main reasons:

1. TIME SAVING

All the communication and digital data sharing is easy and quick. I can start working as soon as the digital intraoral scan data reaches the laboratory. The time savings are even greater regarding implant work, as the digital impression is taken directly from the mouth with the scan body. Compared to a regular model, you no longer have to spend time with an analogue and later scanning the model with a scan body.

2. ACCURACY

The digital impressions are very accurate and I don’t have to worry about whether the model is correct or not.

3. NO LACK OF SPACE

This means that there is no need for a separate storage room for storing models. However, all digital data will be there if necessary and can be used several times.

Dr. Hanna Mansoor is a dentist and clinic owner from Arizona who has made the switch to digital dentistry a while ago. Medit sat down for an interview with her to find out how general dentists can benefit from incorporating the digital workflow, as well as what advantages are there with regard to patient care, specific applications, and overall case management.

Earlier this year you were on the cover of Dental Product Shopper as an early adopter of the Medit i500 intraoral scanner. How did you transition into digital dentistry?

I was looking for a scanner that was fast, easy to use and able to capture all the necessary details. I wanted a system which provides great accuracy, and a user-friendly accompanying software which would allow for fuss-free exports. So, I evaluated the different options before deciding which one would be best for my clinic.

How has your practice profited from making the switch to a digital workflow?

With the proper technique, scans are very fast, so they really help us to save time. We have also been able to reduce our expenses because we don’t need to purchase materials otherwise necessary for traditional impressions when using the digital method.

In addition, retakes have been reduced drastically. With digital impressions you can always zoom in and check the details. If there is any distortion due to blood, saliva, or soft tissue, you can reverse steps or delete parts of a scan without having to repeat the entire scanning process.

Aside from the scanner, we are also using the Medit Link software in order to manage our workflow and orders. Once a scan is completed it is uploaded onto the integrated cloud storage of the platform. This is very convenient as it allows us to scan cases directly to our labs for all use cases, including full-arch scans for clear aligners or implant surgical guides.

You began your career in dentistry as a dental hygienist, so you must understand the importance of connecting with patients in order to make them feel comfortable and reduce their nervousness and tension. In what ways do you find that intraoral scanning has supported this?

Our patients are often impressed by the technology. It is pain-free, and we can visually communicate their cases to them easily. Intraoral scanning is simply more comfortable for patients, especially for those with a strong gag reflex. Classic impression methods are often the cause for discomfort. The i500 in particular has a small, round tip and the wand is easy to maneuver, which further guarantees patient comfort.

Has there been an interesting case recently with regard to intraoral scanning that you would like to share with us?

Lately we have been using it to scan full arches for clear aligner cases and creating surgical guides for implant placement. We have also been working with digital smile design software a lot recently to design and fabricate a digital smile from my digital scans and create a mock-up of the patient’s ideal smile according to his lips and other muscle structures which allows us to give the patient a beautiful natural smile.

What would you like to tell dentists and clinics that are still hesitating to make the transition into digital dentistry?

Just do it! It’s a bit of a learning curve but totally worth it. It’s the future of dentistry!

We would like to thank Dr. Mansoor for taking the time to share her experience and expertise. If you want to learn more about the Medit i500 and Medit Link, visit our product pages!

You may have read about the benefits of a model-less workflow such as better cost efficiency and better production quality and your dental practice or laboratory may be looking into adopting this digital workflow. But before you do that, here are some key considerations to take note of so you know what you’re going into, and to make the switch a more seamless one.

First of all, let’s go through the whole process of a model-less workflow step-by-step, as illustrated by the diagram below.

Digital Diagram

Removing the need for gypsum models saves both the clinic and lab a significant amount of time. This allows you to examine impressions quickly to identify possible errors in scanning before going into fabrication, hence increasing the quality of the resulting prosthetics. Doesn’t that sound great? But before you get right into it, here are some things to take note of!

1. Deciding on the product(s) to purchase
It is important to do in-depth research before deciding on a product, including ROI calculations. This is to ensure that your purchase will be an asset rather than a liability for your practice. Besides monetary profits, you should also consider intangible benefits when calculating the ROI such as offering better services to your patients or your clients. After making sure that this is a sound investment for your practice, you can look at studies which compare the various technology and products available in the market so you can make a more informed decision.

Now that you’ve decided to take that leap, the next step is actually implementing it.

2. Making the transition
Any transition requires adjustment time. Lab technicians may initially are on the fence about not having a model as a point of reference while dentists will need to learn how to take digital impressions. To ease into the new workflow, labs can use a milled or printed model while tweaking the design parameters to make sure their clinic partners are comfortable with the fit of the restorations before moving into a completely model-less workflow. It is important to note that the key to a successful transition requires close communication with your partner(s). Make sure to go over the first few cases thoroughly and address any concerns about the change to ensure that they are onboard with the transition.

This brings us to our next point.

3. Choosing a system
There is a wide variety of technology in the market so how do you know which suits your needs best? The most important thing to take note of here is that there are closed-systems which do not allow you to work with any components manufactured by another company. This means that if you decide on a closed-system, you will only be able to work with partners who are using the same system. To maximize the number of partners you can work with, labs can choose to invest in more than one CAD software package, pay a one-time or annual fee to access a system’s files, or use an open system where possible. The second option is certainly the more cost-friendly and flexible choice.

4. Making sure the end result fits
Finally, it is important to make sure that the resulting prosthetics from a model-less workflow actually fits. The biggest factor affecting the fit of a prosthetics is the digital impression itself, making the quality of the scan especially crucial in a model-less workflow. This means that lab technicians need to be trained to spot errors or inaccuracies in digital impressions so that the issues can be rectified before proceeding to the manufacturing stage. Again, this means that communication between the clinic and the lab is important for the success of the model-less workflow. Additionally, choosing a scanner that guarantees a high level of accuracy and quality scan data is crucial as well.

If you’re looking for an open system for your model-less workflow, check out Medit Link, Medit collaboration tool for dental clinics and labs.

Have you ever wished that your intraoral scanner could do more of the work for you? Well, with iScan V1.4, your software can help you to remove unnecessary scan data as you are scanning, with Smart Scan Filtering! Find out what each option does and when to use the different options for the best scanning experience.

What exactly is Smart Scan Filtering? Before we dive into it, we’d like to make a disclaimer. This is a function which you can use only if your system has a graphics card with at least 6GB of dedicated memory. Otherwise, you may have issues trying to activate the filter options. Do remember to check before activating the filter options (Settings -> Use GPU ON)!

Smart Scan Filtering Options

So, you have activated the smart scan filtering options. What do the three icons mean and what do they filter exactly? Let’s go through each option briefly!

The first icon on the left is the “no filter” option, meaning that soft tissues will not be filtered. You can use this option when scanning edentulous cases, stone models or other dental models.

Scan Data Using Smart Scan Filtering Option 1: No Filter

The second icon in the middle is the “teeth & gingiva” option which filters soft tissue that interferes with scan data, leaving only the necessary gingiva data. We recommend this option for general scan cases, so this would probably be the option you will use most.

Scan Data Using Smart Scan Filtering Option 2: Teeth & Gingiva

The last icon on the right is the “teeth” option which, as you may guess by now, filters everything else besides teeth data. Why would you want to scan only the teeth data, you may ask. The purpose of this filter option is more for additional scans, for when you need slightly more data of the teeth after scanning with the second filter option. We don’t recommend using this filter option for your base scan data!

Scan Data Using Smart Scan Filtering Option 3: Teeth

You can see the differences in the same scan subject, using the different filtering options, in the photos above.

Want to see the different filtering options in action? Check out our tutorial video!

Medit iScan V1.4 Release Notes
Improvement of UI/UX
​

The user interface is designed to be simpler and is categorized for the convenience of users.

Icon size has been reduced to make more space for the scan data.

If the scan stage meets the requirements, a check icon will be displayed to let the user know which stages are complete.

Tools that can be used only for the occlusion have been moved to the ‘Occlusion Scan Stage’.

‘Smart Data Cleaning’ which is related to data editing has been moved to the ‘Trim’ section.

‘Tools’ have been repositioned according to their functions.

The ‘Model Display Mode’ has been moved to the right-side bar – the touch screen controls are set to resemble a smartphone touch screen controls, and the ‘Pan’, ‘Zoom In/Out’, ‘Zoom Fit’ icons have been removed. They can be restored under settings.

The application can be used with a touch screen on the PC. For users running it on a laptop, trackpad keyboard controls have also been added.

Improvements in reliability map and post-processing algorithm have been made. The window which appears after the user clicks ‘Done’ previously showed three options for the 3D model. This has been simplified to two options for the convenience of users. You can also check the important conditions here before post-processing.

Smart Scan Filtering
​

This feature removes unnecessary soft tissue data which is the biggest challenge while scanning. Three filter options are available.

No Filtering
The previous basic filters (1,2,3) have been optimized and this filter is similar to the level one filter from the previous version. This is the basic filtering level and does not filter unwanted tissue. This option is useful for edentulous arch or plaster model cases.

Teeth + Gingiva
This filter removes soft tissue that interferes with the scan, leaving only the necessary gingiva. You can use this option for most general scan cases.

Teeth
This filter scans only the teeth. This option is effective for when you want to scan only the teeth as an additional scan, after scanning using the ‘Teeth + Gingiva’ filter.

Face Scan
​

You can scan your face with the i500, and also import 3D face data (STL, OBJ, PLY) and bone data (STL, OBJ, PLY) from an external source which have been converted from DICOM files taken via CT. The compatible data pairs can be aligned.

Measure
​

The ‘Measure’ tool allows you to measure the distance, angle, length, area, etc. of the 3D scanned data or section lines in iScan to check the progress of teeth preparation, height of the occlusion, as well as length of the teeth. The deviation result of two data sets can also be checked via the color map.

Reorder Scan Stages
​

Users can change the order of the scan stages.

Reposition Scan Data on The Occlusion Plane of Articulator
​

The scanned data is placed on the occlusion plane so that you can manually reposition it in case of incorrect positioning. In addition to that, the aligned result can be made compatible with the virtual articulator in exocad.

​

Improvement of A.I. Abutment Matching
​

You can save the margin line for abutments in the A.I. Abutment Matching dialog box. After you register the margin line, you can skip the process of drawing the margin line for each case in the dental clinic or lab. This saves a lot of time and unnecessary processing.

After the registered abutment is imported, the height is adjusted automatically or manually according to the scanned abutment. In this way, the saved abutments can be used for various cases.

​​

Change Occlusion Target
​

Previously, occlusion alignment was only possible by using the maxilla and the mandible scan data in the ‘Scan Occlusion’ stage. Now, you can also use the pre-operation maxilla and the pre-operation mandible scan data.

Overview Stage
​

The ‘Overview’ feature has been added where you can view all the data simultaneously when you are not in any scan stage. Click the icon on the tree view on the left to hide or show each data set and use the slider to adjust the transparency.

Improvement of Replay
​

The ‘Scan Replay’ has been improved with options to choose scan steps. This helps the user view the scan replay video step-by-step.

​​

Improvement of Post Processing Performance
​

Alignment of scan data is much more accurate in comparison to previous versions, resulting in better results with a smaller file size. Post-processing time has been reduced by about 20%.

Screen Capture
​

A screen capture feature and its corresponding tools have been added to the top right of the application window.

​​
Improvement in Reliability Map
​

More conditions have been added to the Reliability Map for higher accuracy as compared to previous versions.

For users having difficulty in differentiating red and green colors, you can replace the green color with blue for the reliability map. Go to settings and ‘Reliability Map Color Mode’ to set the color.

​​
​
Suitable Temperature for Calibration
​
The data accuracy increases if the temperature of the i500 during calibration is similar to the temperature while scanning.

The added feature to heat the device can be used in cases where the temperature of the i500 right before calibration is low.

​​
​
Color Adjustment of Color Scan Data

The color processing algorithm and model rendering has been improved to display the scan data in a more natural way with more texture detail.

​
Changes and Improvement in ‘Settings’
​

The previously separate options have now been combined into single options of ‘Show Scanning Information’ and ‘Start Automatic Scan’.

The option to ‘Always scan in HD mode’ has been added for users who always scan in HD.

An option for the notification of external light detection (Beta) has been added. A strong light shining on the dentist chair can immensely affect the scan data, especially the anterior teeth data.

You can choose to display either three or six icons on the right side for ‘Model Control’.

The features ‘Use GPU’ and ‘Remove Soft Tissues’ have been removed as beta features and added as regular features. While using the GPU, a feature to check the basic specifications has been added and a message is displayed for each condition.

‘File Size’ and ‘Surface Roughness’ from the ‘Complete’ dialog box have been moved to the settings menu.

Improvement in Guide Messages

Guide messages for the user have been added and improved to make our product more user-friendly.

The user cannot get the best performance if the laptop power cable is not connected. A guide message is displayed in this case.

The scan strategy images and corresponding explanations have been improved so that the user can scan easily and correctly.

An ‘Overview’ has been added for the 3D model to help users operate the model conveniently.

Overall Improvements
