Helpful Tips

Occlusion > Lingual > Buccal

This is the optimized scan path that we have found to work best for us. The occlusion has the most amount of information for the scanner to take in. The lingual will be the most prone to capturing soft tissue from the cheek. Going to the buccal last will clean up soft tissue, creating a finished scan.

Retraction, Retraction, Retraction.

This is a universal need in the world of scanning. The scanner takes in the information that is present before it. Software can only do so much to clean up soft tissue that got captured, the user is responsible for proper retraction technique for a good scan.

Wireless Mouse

One of the most useful things we have found to use with scanning specifically on a laptop is a wireless mouse. The controls on the Medit Link allow the user to move, spin, zoom within the controls of a traditional mouse.

Scan Depth

Medit allows almost full control for the user when it comes to their scanning path. A big factor that plays into the customization of the i500 is with the scanning depth control.

We have found that a higher depth works well when scanning the Maxilla while lowering the depth is favorable working the Mandible. The Mandibular arch comes with the base of the cheek along with the tongue. The extra soft tissue that is required to be retracted can be daunting especially for new users.

Maintenance

The base wire of the scanner.

Please allow the natural position of the scanner, as we have seen some users apply too much force bending it and that will allow the scanner to become prone to connectivity issues later in it's lifetime.

PC Components

System requirements for the i500 scanner

There are recommended specifications for running a software that works with the creation of 3D models.

⚠︎ It is highly recommended to dedicate one PC solely for the i500 because other programs that run hidden in the background may affect the overall scanning performance.
