Step-by-Step Guide for Dual Scan Protocol

Step 1: Preparation

  1. Mark the Denture:

    • Ensure that the patient’s denture is marked with radiopaque markers (gutta-percha, titanium spheres, or radiopaque resin). Place at least 6–8 radiopaque markers in various locations on the denture. These markers are essential for aligning the two scans later.
    • Distribute the markers evenly across the denture (both on the lingual and buccal sides).

  2. Prepare the Patient:

    • Ensure the patient is positioned properly in the scanning device (usually a CBCT machine). The patient should wear the marked denture during the scan.
    • Make sure the patient is comfortable and stationary throughout the scan to avoid motion artifacts.

Step 2: First Scan – Patient with Denture

  1. Perform the Patient Scan:

    • Perform a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan with the patient wearing the denture that contains the radiopaque markers.
    • Make sure the scan captures the entire jaw, soft tissues, and the denture.
    • Instruct the patient to remain still throughout the scan to ensure a clear image.

  2. Check the Scan:

    • After scanning, review the CBCT scan to ensure that the markers are clearly visible and that the scan has good resolution.
    • Ensure that there are no artifacts or movement errors.

Step 3: Second Scan – Denture Alone

  1. Prepare for the Denture Scan:

    • Remove the denture from the patient and position it securely in the CBCT machine. You can place the denture on a platform or holder within the scanning field. Make sure denture has been placed in the same position as in the patient’s mouth. Set teeth up on a platform for lower denture and teeth down on a platform for upper denture.

  2. Perform the Denture Scan:

    • Perform a second CBCT scan of the denture alone with the same radiopaque markers visible in the scan.
    • Ensure that the entire denture is captured, including the areas with the radiopaque markers.

  3. Check the Scan:

    • After the scan, verify that the denture has been clearly captured, and that the radiopaque markers are visible with no interference or distortion.

      Key Tips for Success:

      • Markers: Ensure that the radiopaque markers are well distributed and visible in both scans.
      • Scan Quality: Make sure both scans are of high resolution and free from motion artifacts.

Digital Smile Design. How to take Patient's pictures

Taking high-quality photos is crucial for creating accurate and aesthetically pleasing results in 3Shape Digital Smile Design (DSD). Follow these instructions to capture the images needed for the best results:

1. Equipment

  • Camera: Use a DSLR or high-resolution smartphone camera.
  • Lens: Preferably a macro lens (for DSLR) to capture detailed close-ups.
  • Lighting: Use soft, even lighting. Avoid harsh shadows or reflections by using natural light or softbox lights.
  • Background: A plain, non-reflective background (like a neutral wall) is ideal.

2. Patient Preparation

  • Ensure the patient is in a relaxed, comfortable position.
  • Ask the patient to remove any lipstick, makeup, or facial jewelry.
  • Ensure the teeth are clean before taking pictures to enhance clarity.

3. Frontal Full Smile Shot

  • Position: The patient should sit upright with their head straight and lips relaxed.
  • Smile: Ask the patient to give a natural, full smile showing both upper and lower teeth. It should be vertical opening between arches in 2-3 mm
  • Framing: Capture the entire face, including ears, to visualize the smile in the context of the patient’s facial features.
  • Angle: Take the photo straight on, at eye level, ensuring no tilt.

4. Close-Up Smile Shot

  • Position: Ask the patient to smile naturally.
  • Framing: Focus on the mouth and teeth, showing both upper and lower arches.
  • Angle: Ensure the shot is directly in front of the teeth, avoiding side angles.

5. Retracted Smile

  • Equipment: Use cheek retractors to pull the lips back, revealing the entire tooth structure.
  • Position: The patient should continue to smile naturally.
  • Framing: Focus on both the upper and lower teeth.
  • Angle: Make sure the camera is level with the patient’s mouth to get an even, head-on shot of the full arches.

6. Lateral Smile Shot (Left and Right)

  • Position: Ask the patient to smile naturally.
  • Framing: Capture the side profile of the smile (both left and right sides).
  • Angle: The photo should focus on the molars and canine area to show how the smile extends into the profile view.

7. Profile Photo

  • Position: The patient should face directly to the side (either left or right).
  • Framing: Capture the patient’s full side profile, including the ear, nose, and chin.
  • Smile: The patient should maintain a natural smile.

8. Resting Position (Natural Teeth Exposure)

  • Position: Ask the patient to slightly open their mouth, allowing the upper and lower teeth to be naturally exposed without smiling.
  • Framing: Focus on the front teeth in a relaxed state.
  • Angle: Straight-on shot at eye level.

Tips for Optimal Results

  • Ensure consistent lighting and framing across all shots.
  • Use a tripod to stabilize the camera for sharp images.
  • Review each photo for clarity, ensuring no blurriness or reflections obscure the teeth or smile.

These pictures will help provide accurate, high-quality inputs for the Digital Smile Design process in 3Shape, ensuring a successful and personalized outcome.
