Displays the model with color texture.
Texture Off
Displays the model without color texture.
Reliability Map
Allows to see the trend of reliability of scan data.
The model shows as green and orange color.
The data with green color means “Reliable Area”, the data with orange color means
“Unreliable Area”.
You can reduce the unreliable area by additional scanning.

3.4 Side Toolbar
The Side Toolbar provides the tools to control the 3D Model in the Model View Screen and to change scan depth.
Tools to control the 3D Model
Dynamic
View
Changes the movement of model dynamically by system.
Fixed
View
Fixes the movement of scan data.
User can change the viewing direction, position manually.
Pan
Moves the model.
Rotate
Rotates the model.
Zoom
In/Out
Zooms in/out the model.
Page 40

Zoom
Fit
Places the model in the middle of the screen.
Tool to change the Scan depth
Allows to control the scan depth from 12~21mm.
The deeper scan depth is useful in general. The shallower scan depth is useful to filter the data which is far away from
the tip end.

3.5 Scan Information
Scan
Time
Shows scan time during scanning process.
Scan
Images
Shows the number of images taken during scanning process.
Scan
Speed
Shows the current scan speed.
3.6 Guide Message
Shows information to guide you through the scanning process such as command functions and useful information on
the current situation.
1
Removes all entities within a polyline shape drawn on the screen.
2
Removes all entities on a freehand-drawn path on the screen.
The brush comes in 3 different sizes.
3
Removes island data such as soft tissues by picking.
4
Apply by painting the area to lock.
Locked (colored) area will not be updated by further scanning.
Use this feature to fix retracted gingiva after immediate scanning as it might collapse.
You can still trim the locked area. Deleted locked area can be re-scanned.
5
Performs the alignment between maxilla and mandible manually.
6
Takes 2D images with 3D model data and shares the images with a laboratory.
7
Analyzes the interference between the maxilla and mandible and shows the result with color map.
Page 42
42
8
Analyzes the undercut area based on insertion direction.
9
High level filter produces more accurate initial alignment than low level filter.
3.7 Command Option
Shows the available options for the currently running command.
For detailed information of the options, please refer to the option description for each command.
3.8 Model View Screen
Displays live video and captured images.
4 Useful Tips
4.1 Indication during scanning
The color of the rectangle box that appears during scanning indicates the status of the scanning process:
Green rectangle
Red rectangle
Scanning and alignment is optimal.
Alignment is lost.
You should re-position the scanner tip at
the area which is scanned already to
continue scanning.
Page 43

4.2 Pre-Operation Scan Stage
The data in this stage is usually acquired for the pre-operation condition of maxilla or mandible and will be used for the
reference data of the maxilla or mandible.
How to use
➢ Acquire the data for pre-operation condition.
➢ Move to Maxilla Scan Stage. Pre-Operation For Maxilla is copied to Maxilla.
➢ Delete the area which will be treated.
Page 44
44
➢ Acquire the additional scan data for deleted area.
The location between “Pre-Opeartion Model” and “Maxilla(or Mandible)” will be same through whole process.
”Pre-Operation Model” is not used for the occlusion alignment.
The occlusion alignment uses maxilla and mandible only. If you move to “Occlusion Stage” after scanning
only “Pre-Operation Model”, the “Pre-Operation Model” is copied to “Maxilla(or Mandible)” then use Maxilla(or
Mandible) for the occlusion alignment.
4.3 High Resolution Scan
“High Resolution Scan” function provides acquiring the data with high resolution for entire or partial area.
The high resolution and standard resolution area are mixed, result will be merged smoothly during post processing.
If the high resolution scan is used, whole processing time will be longer than using standard resolution only, however
you can get more detailed data on high resolution area.
Page 45
45
When the color texture is turned off, high resolution and standard resolution area are shown with different material
color.
4.4 Impression Scan
“Impression Scan” provides the seamless scanning process to combine the intra-oral and impression scan data.
You can easily merge the intra-oral and impression scan data with integrated scanning process.
Command option detail
Various selection tools are provided to limit the scanning area.
The impression scan data is acquired in the marked area only.
Brush
Selection
Selects all entities on a freehand-drawn path on the screen.
The brush comes in 3 different sizes.
Polyline
Selection
Selects all entities within a polyline shape drawn on the screen.
Circle
Selection
Selects all entities within circular area.
Clear
Selected
Area
Clears selection of selected area on a freehand-drawn path on the screen.
The brush comes in 3 different sizes.
Clear All
Area
Clears all selected area.

How to use impression scan
➢ Acquire the intra-oral scan data
➢ Turn on “Impression Scan”
➢ Mark the area to replace the intra-oral data with the impression data.
Marking function is useful to limit the area which should be replaced.
You can skip “Marking” process.
If you are not using marking area, the intra-oral data will be replaced by all impression data.
➢ Scan the impression model for marked area. The impression data is aligned to intra-oral data automatically.
Page 47
47
How to edit impression data
When the impression data is taken, unnecessary area needs to be removed before completing the case.
For example, if the impression data is acquired like the image below, unnecessary data from the impression scanning
should be removed.
Page 48
48
➢ Run the trimming function in impression scan mode. The impression data is shown in the Model View Screen.
➢ Delete unnecessary area in the impression data.
➢ Result will be appeared like below.
Page 49
49
When “Impression Scan” is useful
✓ Replace the margin of intra-oral data with impression data
➢ Scan base model.
➢ Turn on “Impression Scan” then mark interesting area. In this case, the area for margin is marked.
➢ Acquire the impression data.
Page 50
50
➢ Result will be generated like below.
✓ Post & Core case
In some case of Post & Core, it is very difficult to take the data for post area due to the area is very deep and hard to
scan.
Impression scan is useful for this case also.
Base model
Impression for post
Page 51
51
How to use
➢ Scan base model.
➢ Turn on “Impression Scan” then scan impression model.
➢ Result will be generated like below.
Page 52
52
✓ Occlusion case
The case to use impression scan to occlusion alignment.
How to use
➢ Scan Maxilla and Mandible.
➢ Turn on “Impression Scan” in the occlusion stage and acquires occlusion data using impression model.
In this case, you need to take the impression model 360 degrees for each bite.
Page 53

”High Resolution Scan” is available during impression scan.
When the impression data is acquired with high resolution, data will be shown with different color if the model rendering
is “Texture off”.
5 Updates to Image Acquisition Software
The Image acquisition software automatically checks for updates when the software is running.
When a new version of the software is available, the system will automatically download the new version.
