How to gain agility in intraoral scanning without compromising capture quality? The answer begins with a well-defined scan sequence. In this content, you will learn about a practical order to perform the scan, reduce interruptions during the procedure and make the digital flow more efficient in the clinical routine.
The efficiency of intraoral scanning is directly related to the organization of the capture sequence. The video presents a sequence that begins with the tuber region, follows the midline of the palate and the anterior region, passes through the first side of the border, returns to the anterior region and ends on the second side of the border. The same course must be repeated on the opposite side. The proposal is to develop consistency in execution, avoid disorganized routes and monitor capture time To identify opportunities for improvement.
Establish a scan sequence: having a set order helps to organize the route and make the execution more predictable.
Follow an organized path: the sequence presented passes through the tuber, midline of the palate, anterior region and on both sides of the border, with return to the anterior region.
Repeat the sequence on the opposite side: maintaining the same pattern on both sides favors technique consistency.
Do not try to compensate for clutter by increasing speed: the goal is to develop a continuous and efficient path, not just move the scanner faster.
Practice and track your performance: repeat the same sequence, monitor the capture time, and note how many times you need to interrupt the procedure.
Define a capture sequence, practice the same route and track the time needed to complete the procedure. Organization helps reduce unnecessary interruptions and movement.
The sequence presented begins at the tuber, goes to the midline of the palate, anterior region and first side of the ridge. Then, it returns to the anterior region and follows the second side of the edge. The course is repeated on the opposite side.
Repetition helps create consistency in execution, facilitates memorization of the path, and makes the procedure more predictable during clinical practice
Not necessarily. Speed alone does not correct a disorganized sequence. The focus should be on a well-planned, continuous path that is compatible with the equipment manufacturer's guidelines.
Always practice the same sequence and track capture time. Also note how many times you need to stop or resume the course. These indicators help identify opportunities for technical improvement.
