Welcome

To the All On X Revolution!

 

Getting Started

The aim of scan ladder is for the random surface and irregular and unique shapes of each scan body to be centrally located to minimise the number of scan frames needed to set the cross arch accuracy. It's crucially important to follow the placement instructions, scanning path instructions and to follow the tips. If you start and stop scanning around the cylinders then this can lead to errors and duplicated frames as these are common shapes. The key part is to take it slow and steady to scan the central portion and then fan out.

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.
