Maybe there’s some difference in how this drs sterilizing them. Who knows. I’ve seen drs re use the same scan body forever as well without any issue, but I mean it does make sense that heat will warp that peek material, there’s entire case studies about it. Weird thing though is that all the case studies say that heat shrinks the material, but this one had increased in size slightly. So maybe that isn’t the correct answer. I suppose I’ll find out when he scans in a brand new scan body.
Another thing to note is that I’ve seen this before at a different lab I was working at, it was for a Sirona scanner, so different scanner, but also a genuine straumann scan body. Looked exactly the same, the whole scan body was a tenth of a mm larger than it should be. We ended up sending him out a third party scan body and everything was fine after that.
