Troubleshooting

Observed Challenge - Collapsed Bite

  • Composite Build-up

  • Leaf Gauge

  • Requested Printed Portal Denture Design

  • Putty mush bite

  • Edentulous Tray Impression and bite scan

Observed Challenge - Improper Notice for Design Turnaround

  • Stage 0/1 Design: 5 business days

  • Stage 2 Design: 72 hour

  • *RUSH cases are accommodated on designer availability

Observed Challenge - Inaccurate Data Capture (IOS and CBCT, Photos)

Pre-op photos - Patient should be standing in a natural head position in front of a dark contrast, long hair behind ears and eyes facing the camera.

IOS scans - Missing full palate, missing retro molar space, inaccurate bite registration.

CBCT - Improper centering of patient in CBCT scan.

Observed Challenge - Improper Seating of Photogrammetry/Grammetry Scan Bodies

Improper scan merge will create passivity issues with prosthesis.

Observed Challenge - Relying on Stage 1 Data to Move Through Stage 2 or Stage 3 (Final)

Ensure stable restorative platform by torquing abutments and re-scanning grammetry or photogrammetry to ensure fit.

Observed Challenge - Calibration of Both IOS and 3D Printer and/or Maintenance

Calibration of digital equipment ensures proper data acquisition and manufacturing of prototypes.

Observed Challenge - Edentulous Guided

  • Poor-fitting dentures, or any denture movement during the scan, may result in incorrect adjustments in the surgical template.

  • Moving the radiopaque markers before both scans are taken. This makes it impossible to merge scan images and integrated data.

  • Dual-scan of denture without radiopaque markers. It’s not possible to use this data.
