Understand the Geometry – Scan What the Software Aligns To

The Scan Ladder cylinder is intentionally designed with:

  • Each has a perfectly matched cylinder
  • Irregular, patented random-surface geometry for frame-to-frame matching
  • Consistent reference points that allow the IOS to anchor cross-arch stitching
  • Flat surfaces and facets that prevent rotational alignment errors
  • Multiple lengths for better visibility in deep or posterior cases

The cylinder geometry is what the software matches to — so capturing it completely is essential.

How the Scan Should Look – Clear, Continuous, No Missing Surfaces

Your scan should show:

✔ full cylinder geometry
✔ clear edges
✔ no voids
✔ continuous connection between implants

If any cylinder looks incomplete, rescan that region before exporting.

Medit SmartX – Real-Time Matching for Maximum Accuracy

SmartX Tips:

  • Enable Smart Matching for all implant cases
  • Pause for a moment to let SmartX map the cylinder before moving on
  • Rotate around the cylinder slowly during acquisition

This allows SmartX to eliminate stitching errors and maintain a fixed centreline between all implants.
