Scan body implantari

No, never pay for impression copings or lab analogs again. Digital implants only require scan bodies and we deliver them straight to your office, free of charge

Titanium scan bodies are autoclaveable and can be reused up to 100 times.

An X-ray is the best way to confirm the scan body is properly seated.

Some causes for scan bodies not being seated properly are: Soft tissue impingement: If this is the case, replace the healing cap until the tissue

responds. Contacting the adjacent tooth: If this is the case, check contacts and reduce scan body if necessary. Angled: If this is the case, the scan body screw should drive passively. If you feel any resistance, unscrew the scan body, change the angulation, and replace it correctly.

Prior to use, the cleaned scan bodies should be autoclaved at 121° c for 15 min, or at 134°c for 3 min.

Dandy dental partners with access to our Portal can order scan bodies from the “supplies” tab.

It is recommended to order your scan body a week in advance of your scanning appointment. We will have it shipped to your practice.

Because no PVS material is used in the digital workflow, dentists often think of scan bodies as the “digital” version of the impression coping.

Yes, we are. The scanning process and case set up is slightly different, since the Encode healing cap functions both as a scan body and healing cap. Reach out to our team for more information.

A scan body is a uniquely-shaped piece of titanium that helps convey the location, angle, and depth of the implant, to our digital model of the patient’s mouth. After the surgeon has placed an implant in a patient’s mouth, and it has healed, the restoring doctor will place a scan body on the implant and scan the area. Scan bodies are also sometimes called scan abutments, scan posts, or scan flags.

Without knowing where the implant is, it would be impossible to design an abutment or crown that will appropriately fit in the patient’s mouth. The scan body also dictates where a custom abutment (and therefore the implant order) can be sent for manufacturing. It determines the DMEs designers and labs are able to use. DMEs are sourced from the manufacturers of implant systems and also indicate to the manufacturers how to mill the abutment.

Aside from compatibility, scan bodies are differentiated by their shape and geometry. Scan body architecture can be thought of as two component parts: a cylinder and top cap. Scan bodies generally have a unique top cap geometry, which can be used to help identify them

At Dandy we have done countless successful implant cases that are all currently seated in patients’ mouths.

While the impressioning technique is accurate, once it leaves the doctor’s hands there is more room for error than with a digital workflow. The reason being that with the impression the lab now has to make a model, which is then used to design the implant abutment and crown. With Dandy, the scan that the doctor submits is the model we use to design the implant abutment and crown. This ultimately cuts out the middleman leading to a more accurate design.

One of the best parts about working with Dandy for your Implant Restorations is that we are here to help on every step of the journey. We have an entire team dedicated to ensure you get all of your implant and scan body questions answered. Our Implants Sales & Training Specialist can work with your assistant to teach them about compatibility.
