Why can’t I match my dicom and stl file together?

If the CBCT dicom file is not captured properly, it will be difficult for the planner to match the dicom and stl files. Therefore, it is important to follow these guidelines when taking the CBCT scan.

Position

  • Inadequate implant area coverage may result from improper patient positioning or errors in CBCT parameter settings. Therefore, it is crucial to position the patient correctly.

No Biting with R2Tray

  • During CBCT acquisition utilizing the R2 Tray, it is imperative for the patient to refrain from biting the CBCT bite block. Such action could lead to the tilting and separation of the R2 Tray from the residual ridge. To mitigate this concern, use the chin holder to stabilize the patient’s head.

Movement Error

  • The final CBCT scan might show shaking or trembling because the patient moved too much while being scanned or due to issues with the sensor used for scanning.

R2Tray Fitting Error

  • Excessive biting force has the potential to dislodge the R2 Tray. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the R2 Tray adequately covers all teeth and the residual ridge to prevent this from occurring.
