Introduction

Welcome to this webinar where we will dive into the improved AI scan body matching tool and the new abutment registration feature. In this article, we will explore the updates made to these tools and provide a step-by-step guide on how to use them effectively. So, let's get started!

Overview of the AI Scan Body Matching Tool

The AI scan body matching tool is a powerful feature that facilitates precise scanning and alignment of scan bodies with the dental implant library. Its purpose is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the scanning process. Before we delve into the updated version, let's first understand how the tool worked prior to the update.

How the AI Matching Tool Worked Prior to the Update

In the previous software version, the AI scan body matching tool required users to manually select each tooth number and match the library and scan data for every scan body. This process could be time-consuming and less intuitive. To help you grasp the differences, let's take a look at a demonstration of the old software.

Demonstrating the Old Software

In this video, you will see how the AI scan body matching tool functioned in the previous software version. The video demonstrates the step-by-step process of selecting tooth numbers, scanning the scan bodies, and aligning them with the library. While the old software served its purpose, the updated version offers significant improvements in user-friendliness and efficiency.

Introduction to the Updated AI Scan Body Matching Tool

Now, let's switch gears and explore the updated AI scan body matching tool. The new version eliminates the need to select each scan body individually before scanning. This enhancement simplifies the process and saves valuable time. In the following section, we will provide a detailed guide on how to use the tool effectively.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Updated Tool

To ensure a seamless experience, we have outlined a step-by-step guide to using the updated AI scan body matching tool. This guide will take you through the process of scanning the soft tissue, scanning the scan bodies, utilizing the scan body library, and aligning the scan bodies accurately.

6.1 Scanning the Soft Tissue

Before engaging with the AI scan body matching tool, it is crucial to capture high-quality scans of the soft tissue. This step ensures an accurate representation of the patient's mouth and helps achieve optimal results. Our guide will provide useful tips and tricks for scanning the soft tissue effectively.

6.2 Scanning the Scan Bodies

Once the soft tissue is scanned, you can move on to scanning the scan bodies themselves. In this section, we will explain how to position the scan bodies correctly and perform the scanning process smoothly. With the updated tool, you will no longer need to select each specific scan body site individually, making the process much more efficient.

6.3 Using the Scan Body Library

The scan body library plays a crucial role in the AI scan body matching tool. It allows you to select the appropriate scan body for each tooth number accurately. In this section, we will guide you through the library selection process, ensuring you choose the correct scan bodies for the alignment.

6.4 Aligning the Scan Bodies

Alignment is a critical step in the AI scan body matching process. In this section, we will demonstrate different alignment techniques and provide tips on achieving an accurate merge of the scan bodies. By following our instructions, you will achieve precise and reliable results.

Introduction to the Register Abutments Tool

In addition to the updated AI scan body matching tool, our software also features a new tool that simplifies the registration of abutments. Previously, users had to procure custom abutments or scan them with tabletop scanners, which posed several challenges. Let's delve into how this new feature makes abutment registration easier.

How Registering Abutments Worked Prior to the Update

Before the implementation of the abutment registration feature, clinics had to rely on custom-made abutments or scan existing ones using external devices. This process was time-consuming and often resulted in non-optimal outcomes. The new abutment registration feature revolutionizes this process, allowing for seamless scanning and registration with intraoral scanners.

Benefits of the New Abutment Registration Feature

The new abutment registration feature brings a host of benefits to the scanning and registration process. It eliminates the need for external devices or custom abutments, empowering clinics to scan abutments directly with intraoral scanners. This feature streamlines the workflow and enhances accuracy, particularly in challenging areas such as subgingival margins.

Step-by-Step Guide to Registering Abutments

This section provides a step-by-step guide on how to register abutments using our software. We will walk you through the process of scanning the abutment, inspecting and naming it, and aligning it with the patient's mouth. By following our instructions, you will navigate this feature effortlessly.

10.1 Scanning the Abutment

To register an abutment, start by scanning it. In this step, we will guide you on how to obtain a thorough scan of the abutment, resulting in accurate registration. Our guide highlights key considerations to ensure a successful scan.

10.2 Inspecting and Naming the Abutment
