How to Accurately Reproduce Dynamic Occlusion with 3Shape Lab Scanners

With 3Shape lab scanners*, you can easily scan models on articulators and, in the process, transfer the position of the mounted models from the articulator into Dental System™.  The result: the static and dynamic occlusion will be the same in the Dental System virtual articulator as it is on the physical articulator.This is very valuable—especially for full contour case design—because without proper dynamic occlusion in the software, you risk creating a suboptimal design that could require manual modification or a complete redo. Here’s the process:

* Except D500, D640, D700, D710, D800, D810, D900

Calibration

In order to be able to replicate the dynamic occlusion, you need to calibrate your system—including the articulator, transfer plates and scanner—using the 3Shape Articulator Calibration Object (formerly the Occlusion Transfer Calibration Object). You...
