Implementation in everyday practice From the desire to find a 100% predictable workflow in morpho-functional rehabilitation of patients through 100% digital procedures that require shorter prosthetic time, we put together a digital puzzle about which we will speak in the next few lines. First of all we need the right equipment, tested
and approved, to meet these high demands and here we speak of speed, precision and predictability in the work process. After about 3 years of research and work to get these results we can confirm that we can easily achieve these cases with the help of advanced technology.
List of necessary equipment
1. Facial Scanner Why facial scanner? The documentary protocol will no longer have the photo included, because now the 3D face capture technology is advanced enough to be used in planning our cases. Some scanners are quite inaccessible due to their higher price or difficult use, although we can identify some apps that are sold on the market that can turn the mobile phone into a facial scanner. Be aware that when choosing your facial scanner you have to

make sure it has a integrated workflow in order to be able to use it in everyday practice. For example, phone apps for 3D face capture have distortions and are not accurate due to algorithms that are meant to smooth the face skin, which can distort the final results. You need a dedicated facial scanner with integrated workflow and especially the ability to do multiple body scanning in order to transfer vital information into the 3D design of the future smile.
