In this video we review with the instant replay feature of the medit i500 on how to scan a denture and not introduce double images or errors in the model.  We first scan the occlusale surfaces of the denture intra-orally (this does not really matter as the software doesn’t know any differently), we then image the opposing, and then bite.  We then remove the relined upper broken denture and continue the imaging to capture the intaglio
