Dual Denture Scan
The dual scan protocol is a sophisticated technique used for planning implant-supported overdentures. The patient is scanned once with their existing, well-fitting denture (containing radiopaque markers), and the denture is scanned separately. The two scans are then merged to create a 3D model that shows the ideal tooth position relative to the underlying bone, allowing for precise implant planning.
