Master Casts / Digital Impressions

Bite Registration

  1. Make sure the patient is in full occlusion when you scan the bite.

  2. If the patient has a partial prosthesis, make sure the patient wears it to support the bite.

  3. If you plan to alter or change the VDO, please make sure you do it in the patient’s mouth and then scan the bite.

* Bite Registration is the RESPONSIBILITY of the Treating Dentist

* Surgical Guide Studio Builds the case according to the bite and VDO registered by the treating dentis

* Surgical Guide Studio DOES NOT change the bite on the articulator, NOR builds the case at an altered VDO outside the patient mouth.

  • Scan Both Arches with Bite Open using the scanner’s bite fork or patient biting on cotton rolls.

  • Remove any Removable Prosthesis before you scan the patient.

  • For a better image, place cotton rolls between the patient’s teeth and cheeks.

  • Export Dicomm Files (.dcm) into a separate folder, zip it and upload it.

* Make sure the patient does not move during scanning. Asking the patient to close the eyes will help in maintaining a steady position.

* Make sure the CBCT Scanner Arms do not bump into the patient’s shoulders when rotating.
