why not use Scan Only for fixed prosthetics
Why would you buy a super car if you are only going to drive 30km/hour with it?🏎️ That's exactly what you are doing if you use the Scan only option in TRIOS for scanning fixed prosthetics.🚫 TRIOS can give you some of the best-in-class finish line distinctness*, but the optimal scan quality can only be achieved if you give correct information to the TRIOS software to begin with. What exactly are we talking about? Scan only is a work type in the send-to-lab order form for TRIOS, that we know many scan operators are still using for almost all types of prosthetic work.📝 It is not the first time we are mentioning this, yet still we get reports about fixed prosthetic work quality suffering from the wrong scan type being used. We shall therefore repeat and hope for the best. In this Trending Topics post, we will recap why Scan only should absolutely not be used for fixed prosthetics and what you can actually use it for. Make sure to save it for later, to step your fixed prosthetics game up!💾 *Study: Finish line distinctness and accuracy in seven intraoral scanners versus conventional impression: an in vitro descriptive comparison (Nedelcu et al.
