[QUOTE="BobCDT, post: 256365, member: 3119"] IOS devices have a difficult time meshing the data together along the smooth edentulous soft tissue ridge. It's scanning the space between the scan bodies that's the problem. When scanning teeth there is a lot of detail so the CPU hs no problem putting the data sets together. I have done some cases and asked the dentist to dry the ridge and use a sharpie to put some dots on the center of the ridge so the scanner has some landmarks to mesh the data more accurately. This would only work if the scanner captures and uses color to assembling the mesh data. Honestly, I'm not sure is any of the scanners have this capability or not. [/QUOTE]
