I’m a new DA and my office is general dentistry. Doc requires us to use the scanner and I’m struggling with the software portion. I’m 40 so I’m not as digitally inclined as I’d like to be. I don’t want to bother other staff members so I need help 😢
the camera is sterilizable. We put it through a medical grade sterilizer and have dozens of cameras so there is no need to put anything over it since it's sterilized like all instruments.
typically just a couple of minutes but it really depends on your ability to stay open. But there are other factors, like some people have very strong tongues that push the camera out, or cheeks or lips that make it more difficult to scan. Also if you have lots going on, or bone loss, or missing teeth, those are things that could slow down the scanning process. Some areas are more difficult to get, especially if there are undercuts.
