INTRAORAL SCANNER - Instructions for use
Introduction
1
The intraoral scanner is a portable medical device capable of three-dimensional scanning of dental arches
generating a digital imprint better than a conventional silicon/alginate/hydrocolloid imprint in terms of marks,
precision and accuracy. Thanks to a sophisticated optical system it allows obtaining a digital imprint of:
- stumps (after preparation), single crowns, 3, 4 or 5-element bridges;
- complete dental arches (for orthodontics);
- abutment from scanning for implant repositioning.

General warnings
- The intraoral scanner (system) and the relative software and drivers are developed and manufactured by
MHT, Verona (IT), hereinafter referred to as the manufacturer.
- These instructions describe how to correctly and safely use the scanner. In order to use the scanner sy-
stem, you need image acquisition and storage software. For software installation and use refer to the rela-
tive manual code 97050264. Please carefully read both manuals before starting to use the scanner.
- The purpose of scanning is to acquire and display digital imprints, similar to what was traditionally done with
resin moulds. This operation does not in any way affect the diagnostic examination, which is assumed to
have been carried out at the time the imprint is acquired, nor the subsequent treatment, such as prosthesis
application, implants or orthodontic treatments which are decided and carried out by the orthodontist.
