Dual Scan Protocol for Edentulous Cases Protocol

Ensure Proper Fit: Confirm that the dentures fit well. If the dentures are ill-fitting, perform a hard reline.
Preparation: Ensure the dentures are clean and dry.
Placement of Markers: Place 6-8 radiographic markers on each denture, ideally on the facial/buccal and lingual/palatal surfaces.
Take a CBCT scan of the patient with the denture/dentures in the mouth. Have the patient bite on cotton rolls to ensure the denture is fully seated.
Remove the dentures without removing any of the radiographic markers. Place the denture onto the holder and take a CBCT scan. TIP: Reduce the exposure setting to a child or the lowest setting. Also place the denture on a piece of foam and place it on the CBCT holder.

PVS Impression Protocol

Place 6-8 radio graphic makers to the outside of the full arch plastic impression tray.
Fill the tray with PVS.
Seat tray in the mouth but ensure the teeth do not touch the tray.
Remove the impression when it is set and remove excess impression material, so the Radiographic markers are visible. Do not remove the radiographic markers.
Reseat the impression in the patient’s mouth. Have the patient bite on cotton rolls to ensure the impression is fully seated, and take CBCT scan of the patient and impression.
Remove the impression from the patient and take a CBCT scan of the impression. Do not remove any of the radiographic markers.
Send your CBCT scan of the patient and CBCT scan of the impression to Midwest Digital Dental Solutions with instructions about your case.
