Why is there no information on this video on how the Doctor needs to scan the internal gingival tissue area WITHOUT the scan body? It is nearly impossible to design an implant to fit accurately without this information. I have spoke with Doctors who have claimed they do this, but when they send it to Itero, the information seems to disappear by the time the Dental Lab receives it from Itero. This is making implants destined to be failures in the future. The more information the Dental Lab has from the Doctor and Itero, the higher rate of success there will be.
Unfortunately, Itero doesn't have a "tissue scan". Regrettably, most of our Itero scans do not have the tissue emergence! We always ask Doctors to do a "Preop" scan without the scan body to capture the tissue, and we rename in lab as the "preparation arch". It's odd that such a big digital impression company never set up a proper implant workflow. ie tissue scan, and abutment alignment scan.

I tell my doctor's to use the "pre-treatment" scan right after taking the healing cap off. Downloads into CAD software as a separate pre-op scan.
