Sinossi

Intraoral scanners have transformed modern dentistry, but simply owning a scanner does not create a digital workflow. A scan can look complete while critical information is missing. Software can make an uncertain surface look convincing. A laboratory can receive a case in seconds and still be forced to guess what the clinician actually wants.

Scan Smarter is a practical guide to the complete journey of digital information: from the patient, through the clinic, scanner, software and laboratory, into design and manufacture, and ultimately back to the patient again.

Drawing on more than twenty years of experience across dental technology, laboratories, clinical training, digital dentistry and artificial intelligence, the book explores the problems that occur in the gaps between people and systems.

Inside, you will learn how to:

  • scan with purpose rather than simply filling the screen;
  • distinguish visual completeness from genuine data completeness;
  • recognise overscanning, ghosting and unreliable geometry;
  • capture preparations as complete three-dimensional objects, not just visible margins;
  • record and verify the bite more predictably;
  • communicate intent clearly to the laboratory;
  • understand what technicians actually assess when a case arrives;
  • use AI as an assistant without confusing a warning with an instruction;
  • approach advanced, edentulous and hybrid workflows more strategically;
  • build a digital clinic that learns from repeated problems;
  • create digital records that become more valuable over time.

This is not a scanner manual and it is not a catalogue of technology.

It is a book about judgement, communication, information integrity and the difference between owning digital equipment and running a genuinely digital workflow.

Because the best digital workflow is not the one with the most technology.

It is the one with the least avoidable uncertainty.
