12 Administration Planmeca PlanScan User Manual

Instructions for Autoclaveable Tips

DO NOT use a chemical sterilant on tips with the autoclave symbol. DO NOT Autoclave tips without the autoclave symbol. DO NOT place in Ultrasonic Cleaner. Excessive cycle times may prematurely reduce the life and function of the tip.

Note: These instructions were validated using a Class B autoclave and the

sterilization pouch HSD # 112-4854 with a minimum cycle of 132° C (269°F) with a

sterilization time of 5 minutes. You may use an autoclave pouch with comparable

materials and the same dimensions.

Look for the temperature symbol engraved on autoclaveable tips. If the tip does not have this symbol, see “Instructions for High Level Disinfection Tips” on page 14.

1 Clean the tip for 2 minutes under running tap water to remove

debris.

2 Individually pouch each scanner tip using an autoclave pouch

(ex. HSD # 112-4854 or a comparable product).

Note: Autoclave baskets are not indicated for this cleaningprocedure.

3 Place one to three pouches per tray or cassette.

4 Select the Wrapped, Wrapped Instruments, or Pouch cycle on the autoclave with a minimum

cycle of 132° C (269° F) with a sterilization time of 5 minutes. After cycle completion, store for later use.

Note: Autoclave cycle names dier among manufacturers. Autoclave cycle times

exceeding 10 minutes could be considered excessive and may damage the

internal components and pin connector points. Referenceyour manufacturer’s

manual to select the cycle for sterilizing wrappedinstruments.

5 Prior to scanning, visually conrm the scanning

mirror and scanner connection points of the scanning tip are clean and dry. To clean either surface, use an optical cloth or 2x2 gauze with a small amount of alcohol to gently remove residue. Ensure each surface is dry before connecting it to the scanner.

10828200.B Administration 13

Instructions for High Level Disinfection Tips

Positioning the Scanner for the First Scan

Position the scanner along the mesial-distal axis with the tip of the scanner pointing towards the distal. The axis follows the curve of the arch. The pictures below show good and bad positions along the arch.

Rest the tip of the scanner gently on the teeth during scanning. This will give you the correct focal depth for the scans.

Scanning Overview

Scan the restoration site using the Planmeca scanner to capture the image of the tooth (pre-operative or wax-up), preparation, opposing teeth, buccal bite, and/or bite registration. Scanning the restoration site requires proper site preparation, correct placement and movement of the scanner, and a sucient number of scans to ensure adequate digitalization of the restoration site. The basic steps are:

1 Click the Scan tab.

2 Click the desired scanning mode: Pre-op, Prep, Bite Registration, Opposing, or Buccal Bite.

• Pre-op - Used to utilize the patient’s existing dentition or a wax-up as the pre-op model for creating the restoration.

• Prep - Used to scan the prepared site of the restoration. All free owing blood, saliva, and

10828200.B Scanning 23

residue should be removed from the preparation site before scanning.

• Opposing - Used to scan the teeth on the opposite arch of the preposition. Scan the same number of teeth as the preparation model to ensure good alignment.

• Buccal - Scan the buccal view of the preparation, adjacent teeth, and opposing teeth.

• Bite - Used if you have produced a bite registration for use in dening the occlusal anatomy. This button is active when Bite Registration is selected on the Setup tab.

3 Shield the site from strong extraneous light sources (dental lights, sunlight, etc.).

4 Click the button on the scanner to activate the laser.

5 The Live View displays the scanning view with live feedback. Place the scanner so that the

camera is centered over the occlusal of the restoration site.

Note: The system assumes that the rst scan is taken from the occlusal. Ensure the

rst scan is taken at a 90 degree angle to the occlusal surface. If the rst scan is not

optimal, delete it and retakeit.

6 Continue taking scans until the composite model is fully formed.

7 Click the button on the scanner to deactivate the laser.

8 Evaluate the model. Scan more if needed.

9 Click Generate Model or press M on the keyboard to nish building the model.

10 Make adjustments as needed.

11 Select the next scan type.

12 Repeat the steps above.

13 Click the Margin tab or click the Next button when nished with scanning.

Scanning Live View

The system displays a model based upon the scan data. The Live View appears on the right and the model builds on the left. Watch the model building on the left to see what information has been captured and where you need to move the scanner.

An audio tone plays to indicate that the system is capturing data. The system changes the Live View to orange and stops the audio feedback if you have moved too far and the system needs data overlap.

Mute or change the volume on your laptop to change the audio feedback.

Scanning Occlusion Data

The proposal’s occlusion can be evaluated and designed using:

• Bite registration

• Buccal bite and opposing dentition

• Pre-op (a waxup or existing anatomy before preparation)

Note: Exported cases usually need to include Buccal/Opposing scans.

On the Setup tab, select Bite Registration or Buccal/Opposing. If you are scanning a pre-op, leave the default to Buccal/Opposing.

The system will allow you to use a Time Saver method of copying the model. In certain scenarios, this enables you to duplicate a model under another heading. You can then erase the data that needs to be replaced and take fewer scans than if you are doing a completely new scan.

• Pre-op model can be copied into Prep model

• Prep model can be copied into Bite Registration

The instructions below assume that you will use the Time Saver method. You always have the option of simply doing a full scan for each model type.

Scanning a Bite Registration

A bite registration can be used to optimize occlusion for proper alignment with the opposing tooth. Scan the preparation, ensuring there is enough detail of the adjacent dentition and/or gingival tissue in your preparation scans to align the bite registration scans.

After scanning the preparation, prepare the bite registration.

Bite registration preparation

Keep the following recommendations in mind as you prepare bite registrations:

1 Place the bite registration material so that it completely covers the preparation surface.

• The bite registration material should not cover the adjacent teeth. If it does, trim to the interproximal after the material sets.

• There must be sucient data of the adjacent teeth in the scans of the preparation and the bite registration in order for the two models to align.

• Ensure there are no gaps between the bite registration material and the adjacent teeth.

28 Scanning Planmeca PlanScan User Manual

2 Have the patient bite down rmly or press the articulated model down rmly for the

impression.

3 If trimming of the bite is needed to expose more of the adjacent teeth, trim the bite in the

mouth. If you remove and replace it, the bite registration material may not seat properly.

3 Scan at a 90° angle to the teeth. Scan the sides of the teeth that were captured in the

preparation and opposing models. Ensure some gingival data is captured.

4 Click Generate Model or press M on the keyboard. The system generates the model and

attempts to align to the other scanned models. The software should automatically align the models. If the Align Buccal is red, see below for instructions on manually aligning the data.

Your model should resemble the following. Ensure there is good data on the buccal sides of the teeth. Intraoral scans will most likely have the tongue in the background. Model scans will have space ller in the gaps.

5 Erase any excess data from the model.

Model Alignment

The alignment icons are on the right side of the screen. There is a dierent icon for each alignment type: Buccal Bite, Pre-op, and Bite Registration. The system attempts to automatically align the models as they are generated. A green dot means the scans are aligned. A red dot means they are not aligned.

Click the icon to view the alignment. All of the alignment icons have a Refresh button. Click Refresh to reset the alignment and manually align the models. Automatic alignment should be used in most cases.

If there is extra data that might be interfering with the scans (tongue, cheek, etc.), try trimming the extra data before manually aligning.

The buccal bite model is translucent on the Alignment screen to aid in evaluation. The buccal bite has an extra Show/Hide Buccal option. This enables you to hide the buccal bite model and evaluate the opposing and prep models.

32 Scanning Planmeca PlanScan User Manual

Electromagnetic Environment guidance

Portable and mobile RF communications equipment should be used no closer to any part of the PlanScan, including cables, than the recommended separation distance calculated from the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter.

Recommended separation distance

where P is the maximum output power rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended separation distance in metres (m). Field strengths from xed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey,a should be less than the compliance level in each frequency range.b Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following symbol:

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is aected by absorption and reection from structures, objects and people.

a. Field strengths from xed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to xed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured eld strength in the location in which the PlanScan is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the PlanScan should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the PlanScan.

b. Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, eld strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

Recommended Separation Distances

Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the PlanScan

The PlanScan is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the PlanScan can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the PlanScan as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.
