- Following an ordered sequence is essential to maintain scan consistency.
- Changing sequence or scanning randomly increases errors.
- A common strategy:
- start with occlusal
- continue with lingual/palatal
- finish with buccal
- This order helps maintain constant references and improves software tracking.
How to do it correctly:
5. First: occlusal surfaces
6. Then: lingual or palatal
7. Finally: buccal surfaces
8. Always follow the same sequence
Conclusion:
9. The scanning order directly impacts accuracy.
