Technical details Primescan
Within CEREC SW, Primescan models can be used for all indications supported by Omnicam. Models created and exported can be used for any CAD/CAM dental application, including dental surgery and orthodontics.
Primescan’s outstanding full-jaw accuracy offers the potential to digitize future indications that today can only be treated conventionally.
Surfaces of the following materials can be captured without coating:
• Enamel and dentin, dry, wet, and coated with blood.
• Oral soft tissue.
• Composite restorative materials.
• Ceramic restorative materials (polished, see limitations below).
• Metal such as gold, titanium and amalgam(see limitations below).
Powdering the teeth does not have a significant effect on scan performance.
Fully translucent materials, e.g. glass may require coating prior to capturing. The recommended coating agent in these cases is CEREC Optispray. A layer of minimum thickness is sufficient.
Both products feature identical hardware. Pre-installed software and licenses differ, with the CEREC SW only being installed on CEREC Primescan units.
Every Primescan AC can be upgraded to a CEREC Primescan AC.
