I know it may seem odd to use an intraoral scanner to scan impressions but I do deal with a lot of full arch impressions. For impressions with deep cavitations and crowding, it is difficult for the scanner to capture accurately, leaving large voids on the digital scans. So I am wonder if I use an intraoral scanner to manually scan the full arch impressions and trying to angle in a way to capture the deep areas, would it scan better? Is there such a thing?
If not, then how can we maximize the ability of the scanner to capture those deep areas? How effective is it to cut the excess impression material at the vestibule and spraying powders? What else can we do?
I am thinking of buying a scanner mainly for fabricating clear aligners.
With popular scanners out there, like 3Shape, Meditt, DOF, etc, which scanner is especially great for impression scanning for the purpose of creating clear aligners?
Can the scanning software that comes with the scanners accurately fill in the voids? Or do I have to use exocad? I already have my ortho designing software but it doesn't fill in voids. Because I mainly use this set up for aligners, I am thinking whether I really need to spend the extra money for exocad.
Any advice is much appreciated! Thank you!
