What is AI Scan Review?

AI Scan Review is a tool in Chairside that automatically analyses preps and scans for potential issues, such as undercuts and insufficient occlusal clearance. If issues are detected, you'll receive step-by-step visual guidance on how to resolve. This is currently only available for single-unit anterior and posterior crown cases.
