3 Scanner Calibration
▷ Calibration procedure of i500
Calibration must be performed periodically to acquire precise 3D models.
Calibration is required when:
o The quality of 3D model is not good enough or accurate as compared to previous results.
o Environmental conditions such as temperature have changed.
o Calibration period has expired.
You can set the calibration period in Menu > Setting > Calibration Period (Days)
The calibration panel is a delicate component. Do not touch the panel directly. Check the panel if
calibration is not performed properly. If the calibration panel is contaminated, please contact your service
provider.
We recommend performing the calibration process periodically. You can set the calibration period in
Menu > Settings > Calibration Period (Days).
The default calibration period is 14 days.
The data accuracy increases if the temperature of i500 during calibration is similar to the temperature
while scanning.
Let your device warm up before calibration to reach the same temperature as it has during scanning.

8.2 Denture Scan Process
The denture sequence can be utilized for scanning the patient’s existing denture, or in the process of
creating one (also applicable for temporary denture, wax rim etc.). Occlusion scan is also supported.
➢ To enable denture process, make sure to register ‘Denture – Full Denture’, ‘Denture – Replica
Denture’ or ‘Denture – Implant Supported Denture’ in the form in Medit Link.
Guidelines for the denture scanning process
➢ Make sure that all sides of the denture are sufficiently scanned, including labial/buccal and
palatal/lingual surfaces.
➢ For Maxilla, make sure to scan the palatal area including palatal rugae and maxillary tuberosity.
➢ For Mandible, make sure to scan retromolar triangle.
➢ In case the camera is lost during the scanning, try again by starting at the most prominent
parts of the palate (such as palatal rugae or residual alveolar ridge).
▷ Denture – Full Denture
The scan sequence will appear as following (Edentulous Maxilla → Maxillary Denture → Edentulous
Mandible → Mandibular Denture → Occlusion):
▷ Denture – Full Denture (acquiring edentulous scan data)
Scan edentulous arch at Edentulous Scan stage and proceed to scanning the denture at the Denture
Scan stage.
89
➢ Scan the edentulous surface.
➢ The edentulous data acquired at the first stage (Edentulous Scan) will be reversed and used
as the basis for the denture alignment at the next stage (Denture Scan).
o The scan should be done according to the following path: fitting surface → border
→ polished surface and artificial teeth.
➢ Repeat the process for Mandible.
➢ Scan the denture occlusion at the Occlusion stage. The data can be utilized in CAD.
90
▷ Denture – Full Denture (relined or Rebased)
Scan the denture without acquiring intraoral data from the patient. Scan the fitting surface of the denture
at the Edentulous Scan stage and the outer side at Denture Scan stage.
➢ At Edentulous Scan stage, press the ‘Relined Denture Scan’ button and scan in reversed
mode.
91
➢ After moving to the next stage, scan the outside of the denture. The data from the previous
stage will be copied and reversed as it will be used as the basis for denture alignment.
➢ Repeat the process for Maxilla.
92
➢ Scan the denture occlusion at the Occlusion stage. The data can be utilized in CAD.
▷ Denture – Replica Denture
The scan sequence will appear as following (Maxillary Denture → Mandibular Denture → Occlusion):
➢ Scan both dentures.
93
➢ The scan should be done according to the following path: fitting surface → border →
polished surface and artificial teeth.
➢ Scan the denture occlusion at the Occlusion stage. The data can be utilized in CAD.
94
▷ Denture – Implant Supported Denture
The scan sequence will appear as following (Edentulous Maxilla → Maxillary Denture → Edentulous
Mandible → Scanbody → Mandibular Denture → Occlusion):
➢ Acquire the data for the Edentulous Scan stage.
➢ Scan the scanbody at the Scanbody stage.
Do not forget that you can use the ‘A.I. Scanbody Matching’ tool to get the precise
scanbody data from the pre-set library.
➢ Select the tooth number and find the corresponding scanbody data in the library.
➢ Press ‘Confirm’ after the selection is done.
95

96
➢ Move to Maxilla Scan Stage. Data of Pre-op For Maxilla is copied to Maxilla.
➢ Delete the area to be treated.
➢ Acquire the additional scan data for deleted area.
The “Pre-op Model” and “Maxilla (or Mandible)” will have corresponding positions throughout the
whole process.
97
”Pre-op Model” can be used for occlusion alignment.
The occlusion alignment uses maxilla and mandible only. If you move to “Occlusion Stage” after
scanning only “Pre-op Model”, the “Pre-op Model” is copied to “Maxilla (or Mandible)” ,and then
Maxilla (or Mandible) is used for occlusion alignment.
