📌 FREEDOM Air Implant Scan Workflow 

To fabricate a prosthesis for an implant case, a scanbody scan must be performed during the intraoral scanning process.

All data required for an implant case can be acquired by scanning in the following order:
Opposing → Base → Bite → Scanbody.

📌 FREEDOM Air Implant Scan Project Creation 

 

1. Start Scan With Quickstart 

In the 'Quickstart' tab, enter the patient's name and tap 'Scan' to launch ScanApp i and begin scanning immediately.

The Scanbody step is required for implant scanning.

After launching ScanApp i, click the 'Additional Scan' icon and add a Scanbody step to the arch that requires scanbody scanning, then proceed with the scan.

2. Start Project Scan With Prosthetic Information 

Go to the 'Project' tab and tab the '+Create New Project' button to create a new project.

🔍 Click to enlarge 

After creating the project, enter the prosthetic information and launch ScanApp i to begin scanning.

The entered information is transmitted together with the scan data when connected to partner.

The 'Scanbody' step is mandatory for implant scanning. After creating a project, select the restoration type and abutment type, then launch ScanApp i.

🔍 Click to enlarge 

If an abutment type has been specified, the Scanbody step will be added automatically when ScanApp i is launched.

📌FREEDOM Air Implant Scan Strategy 

 

1. Base Scan Strategy

To obtain accurate data, proper preparation and scan strategy are essential.

Before starting the scan, make sure to review the FREEDOM Air Pre-scan Checklist and Scan Preparation.

⚠️Essential Checks Before Scanning⚠️

 

- Half-arch scan case: 

For single implant cases or 2-unit implant bridge cases, sufficient data for prosthesis fabrication can be acquired with a half-arch scan only.
In such cases, the bite scan is also performed only within the half-arch range.

  • Half-arch scanning begins with the occlusal surface, progressing to the lingual and buccal surfaces.

  • Keep each scanning stage under 1 minute.

 

- Full-arch scan case: 

For implant bridge cases involving three or more units, full-arch data is required, and a full-arch scan should be performed.

In such cases, the bite scan is performed twice to acquire bite information from both the right and left sides.

  • Full-arch scanning should begin with the occlusal surface, then continue with the lingual and buccal surfaces.

  • When scanning the anterior teeth, move the scanner in a zigzag motion, alternating between the labial and lingual surfaces to capture the area from multiple angles.

  • Keep each scanning stage under 2 minutes and 30.

2. Scanbody Scan Strategy

- Scanbody Placement 

When placing the scanbody, ensure that the D-cut area is not obstructed by adjacent teeth. Position the scanbody so that the D-cut faces either the lingual or buccal side.

- Scanbody Scan 

Before scanning, verify that the scanbody is fully seated and properly tightened.

Start by recognizing the buccal or lingual area of the base scan rather than the occlusal surface, then perform an additional scan of the scanbody.

It is recommended to scan the cylindrical portion of the scanbody that connects to the base data first.

Scan from multiple angles to ensure that the D-cut area of the scanbody is captured completely without missing data.

3. Occlusion Scan Strategy

- Patient Position:

  • Occlusion scanning must be performed while the patient is in centric occlusion.

  • To obtain accurate occlusal data, the patient should be in a sitting position, not lying down.

- Preparation Before Occlusion Scanning:

  • Before performing the occlusion scan, have the patient open their mouth and position the scanner on the buccal side.

  • Have the patient close into occlusion several times to check the centric bite position in advance.

  • Review the buccal surface data of both the maxilla and mandible before starting the occlusion scan.
    - If buccal data are insufficient or excess soft tissue is present, the occlusion may not align correctly.
    - If there are holes or missing data, perform additional scans.
    - Delete unnecessary soft-tissue data before proceeding with the occlusion scan.
