What records do I need to submit to begin a GuidedSMILE Zygo case?
Accurate, complete records are the foundation of a predictable Zygo case. The most important difference from a standard CHROME case is that the CBCT must include the eye orbits, because zygomatic anchorage depends on imaging the zygomatic bone.
Required records to begin a GuidedSMILE Zygo case
| Record | Requirement |
|---|---|
| CBCT scan | Must include the eye orbits. Dentate: scan out of occlusion. Edentulous: use the dual scan technique. |
| Photographs | Full-face / full-smile photos for diagnostics, plus retracted smile in occlusion (straight on, left, and right). |
| Impressions (dentate) | Master casts or PVS impressions. Digital impressions are accepted and must include the vestibule. |
| Impressions (edentulous) | Captured through the dual scan technique. |
A few important points to keep records clean and avoid delays.
- For the edentulous patient, follow the CBCT Dual Scan Protocol. The scan appliance must fit accurately, hold a stable bite, carry 4 to 6 randomly placed radiopaque markers, and be scanned both in the mouth (in occlusion) and alone resting on foam, never on plastic or metal.
- For the dentate patient, scan the arches out of occlusion so the models can be registered.
- CBCT data must be exported as uncompressed, multi-slice DICOM. See how to export CBCT files.
Incomplete or poor-quality records are the leading cause of case delay. Review the full patient records resources before submitting, and submit your case through the GuidedSMILE Rx.
