Overview: Use the scan viewer tools to review, validate, and troubleshoot intraoral scans to ensure accuracy and reduce remakes before design and fabrication.
Manage View and Layer Controls
The Order Scans List displays all available scans for a case, such as the Upper Jaw, Lower Jaw, and Bite. Use these controls to isolate anatomy and verify scan completeness.
- Visibility Toggle (👁️ icon): Show or hide specific scan layers to focus on a single arch.
-
Color Toggle: Switch between the natural color texture and a monochrome mesh view to better see surface details.
Use Camera and Navigation Controls
These controls allow you to reset your perspective or focus on specific areas of the 3D model.
-
Restore Camera View: Resets the 3D model to the default orientation.
-
Zoom Visible: Centers the view and zooms in on the selected scan layers.
-
Snap to Path of Insertion (POI): Orients the model to show the optimal path for seating a restoration, which helps identify undercuts.
Analyze with Cross-Section and Clipping Tools
Use these tools to "slice" through the model to inspect prep depths and internal clearance.
-
Enable Clipping Plane (C icon): Creates a slice through the model to reveal internal anatomy or reduction depth.
-
Enable Reverse Plane (R icon): Flips the direction of the clipping plane for an alternate perspective.
-
Hide/Show Cross Section: Toggles all active clipping planes on or off to quickly return to the full model view.
Utilize Utility Tools
Utility tools provide advanced calculations and allow you to reset all active viewer settings.
-
Path of Insertion (POI) Button: Calculates the optimal insertion axis and flags potential seating issues.
-
Restore Defaults: Clears all active clipping planes and resets the camera and POI views to their original state.
