Q. Is the system true photogrammetry (4 moving cameras) or only stereophotogrammetry (2 stationary cameras)? Fullarch surgery is a tough environment for any measurement device. Readings can be disrupted by saliva, blood, sutures, tongues, etc. obstructing the field of view. ICam’s four moving camera's ensure precision and passivity. Q. What materials are the scanbodies made from? ICamBodies are made from titanium to withstand torque and autoclaving. PEEK and TECAPEEK can deform and hinder passivity. “…Study results confirm that there is a significant change to TECAPEEK’s mechanical property in terms of hardness scale due to the effects of heat and moisture during the sterilization process.” https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5874884 Q. Is calibration part of your scanning/data capture procedure? Regular calibration is critical for any true measurement device and is required in most industries. We expect there will be a day when it is required in dentistry. It’s the only way to assure you are starting with a precise baseline, especially over time after bumps, drops, mishandling or environmental stress.
