- The start of the scan is a key and often underestimated step.
- Starting in a stable area allows the software to build a solid base.
- Occlusal surfaces of molars are ideal:
- more geometry
- better reference points
- Starting in low-structure areas or with interferences (saliva, tongue) can compromise the entire scan.
How to do it correctly:
5. Start in the posterior region (molars).
6. Prioritize occlusal surfaces.
7. Ensure a dry and clearly visible field.
8. Stabilize your hand before starting.
Conclusion:
9. A good start improves the entire scan.
