Yes. With Viz Imaging Software, you also have access to open STL files. STL files can be downloaded and sent to manufacturers of other orthodontic appliances who accept this industry-standard file format.

Yes. As an open, accurate system, doctors can also capture digital impressions of implant scan bodies and seated abutments with the Viz Dental Scanner.

No. The Viz Digital Scanner is an open system—open to materials, labs, chairside mills and any other system that accepts industry-standard STL files.

An open STL file is a common file format used for saving three-dimensional objects. It is a standard three-dimensional (3D) format used in many industries, including: aeronautical engineering, automobile design, video gaming and the dental industry, especially CAD/CAM equipment.

You may access the open STL file in your office by logging into the Viz software. Select the appropriate patient and case and click the STL file package to download. You may then share the STL file with any third-party provider that accepts industry-standard STL files. These files can also be made available to a variety of Trusted Connection partners and your Lab.

Viz provides 2 days of on-site training for each account that purchases a Viz Impression Scanner. The first half-day (approximately 2–4 hours) is to focus on device understanding and scanning competency. During this time, you will review basic scan skills, scan path and protocol, and will practice scanning on typodonts and your staff. The Clinical Training Day (approximately 6–8 hours) will focus on clinical scanning competency and integration. During this time, you will scan three in vivo patient cases and complete single unit cases. Additional training is available for a fee, for instance, as you add new staff or would like re-training or advanced training.

The Viz Intraoral Scanner is sold in the U.S. by Masterlink. Please give our office a call at (800) 869-0915

During the purchase of your scanner, Viz will ask you to identify a primary lab to begin receiving your digital impression files.

Labs primarily interact with Viz via the Viz Software Portal, a web application that stores, sends and converts the digital impression files captured by the scanner.

Dental labs digitally identify the margin line using Viz software as a crucial step in the model preparation and restoration design process. Additionally, the Viz Dental Scanner has tools which allow you to annotate the prepared tooth and margin. Lastly, when using a chairside connection, you or your staff can trace the margin line in the chairside design software paired with each mill.

3D Video Rendering technology generates a true replica of the oral anatomy with extraordinary detail. It captures 3D data in a video sequence and models the data in real time. The 3M™ True Definition Scanner can capture approximately 10 3D data sets per second—or close to 2,400 data sets per arch—for a high-speed, high-accuracy scan. This enables the user to scan images while moving the wand—and simultaneously view and control the scan on the touchscreen. In contrast, the traditional scanning method, which uses point-and-click technology, requires the wand to be first positioned and then held steady, at which point the user can initiate a single capture or the system automatically initiates the scan.

Accuracy is measured by constructing a dental model which is calibrated very precisely on a coordinate measuring machine (CMM). We then compare scans from the Viz Scanner and competitive scanners of this model against the precise reference. Any discrepancies in the measurements taken from three or six points distributed on the model are expressed as a percentage error. This method is becoming a global standard for accuracy in the dental industry.

The Viz Impression Scanner was designed to use Viz High-Resolution Scanning Spray to enhance the speed of capture, accuracy and affordability. The scanning spray is a proprietary formulation of titanium dioxide. Scanning spray enables the Viz Intraoral Scanner to be one of the most accurate—and most consistently accurate—scanner on the market. After the clinician retracts and isolates the patient, the light dusting is only 15 seconds in a one-hour crown preparation procedure.

The Viz Intraoral Scanner uses its extra channel of information to provide stereoscopic 3D images used by clinicians and lab to enhance the clinical process.

No digital impression system on the market can see through tissue or fluid. All require proper retraction and isolation in order to capture images. Clinicians may choose from a variety of products and your clinical digital specialist and/or clinical trainer will be able to provide guidance on which products may best suit your practice and technique.

The Viz Intraoral Scanner was launched in the U.S. in December 2016.

Depending on your state regulations, assistants may take digital impressions with the Viz Intraoral Scanner. Some states allow assistants to take all digital impressions required for a case, while others ensure the digital impression of the preparation is conducted by a dentist. In that case, some doctors have found it helpful if they do the scan of the preparation and the assistant completes the opposing arch and bite registration.

The Viz Scanner comes with a 2 year manufactures warranty.
