HOW TO CAPTURE CHROME PATIENT RECORDS

Accurate and detailed patient records are essential to starting a CHROME GuidedSMILE case properly. This page will detail the necessary records for all patient types. Read this page thoroughly and if you have any questions please give us a call at 480.809.3029.

Single Dentate Arch with opposing Dentate
  • Photographs– Full face full smile photo, plus profile photo if Class II or III. Retracted photographs front, left side, right side IN occlusion, see below. We suggest capturing photos before taking impressions to keep the lips and teeth clean.
  • IO Scans – Intraoral scans of maxilla, mandible and bite are preffered. If patient has an existing partial on the surgery arch, capture two scans: one with the partial seated, one with the partial removed. If you do not have the ability to scan refer to the following bullet point.
  • Dentate surgery arch– Master cast—must capture ALL land areas. Must capture full palate if spare denture is to be ordered. Both arches are required, either poured models or clear impressions. If patient has an existing partial on the surgery arch, capture two impressions: one with the partial seated, one with the partial removed.
  • Bite registration– Suggestion: 3 small bites to tripod the bite registration rather than full arch bite
  • CBCT – Dual Scan Technique*—place 6 scan markers on the impression tray or place 6 random gutta percha markers in the pink area of the labia flange.
    * Dual Scan definition: one scan of the impression tray seated in the mouth IN occlusion. One scan of the impression tray alone sitting on foam or the chin rest of the scanner, not on plastic. Do not scan the patient alone w/o the tray.
Single Dentate Arch with opposing Edentulous
  • Photographs– Full face full smile photo, plus profile photo if Class II or III. Retracted photographs front, left side, right side IN occlusion, see below. We suggest capturing photos before taking impressions to keep the lips and teeth clean.
  • IO Scans – Intraoral scans of maxilla, mandible and bite are preffered. For existing denture scan 360 degrees outside of patient’s mouth. If patient has an existing partial on the surgery arch, capture two scans: one with the partial seated, one with the partial removed. If you do not have the ability to scan refer to the following bullet point.
  • Dentate surgery arch– Master cast—must capture ALL land areas. Must capture full palate if spare denture is to be ordered. If patient has an existing partial on the surgery arch, capture two impressions: one with the partial seated, one with the partial removed. Edentulous opposing arch – Impression capturing the teeth of the opposing dentition—a crown and bridge impression of the denture.
  • Bite registration– Suggestion: 3 small bites to tripod the bite registration rather than full arch bite
  • CBCT – Dual Scan Technique*—place 6 scan markers on the impression tray or place 6 random gutta percha markers in the pink area of the labia flange.
    * Dual Scan definition: one scan of the impression tray seated in the mouth IN occlusion. One scan of the impression tray alone sitting on foam or the chin rest of the scanner, not on plastic. Do not scan the patient alone w/o the tray.

    • IO Scans – Intraoral scans of maxilla, mandible and bite are preffered. For existing denture scan 360 degrees outside of patient’s mouth. If you do not have the ability to scan refer to the Dentate opposing arch bullet.
    • Edentulous surgery arch – Use existing denture as a dual scan appliance. Denture must fit perfectly to the tissue and exhibit ideal tooth position. NO soft relines. Must use either hard reline if fit is not ideal, or reline with Blue Mousse impression material for both scans. Place 6 scan markers on the denture or place 6 random gutta percha markers in the pink area of the labial flange.
    • Dentate opposing arch – Master cast must capture ALL land areas. Must capture full palate if spare denture is to be ordered. Edentulous opposing arch – Impression capturing the teeth of the opposing dentition—a crown and bridge impression of the denture.
    • Bite registration – Suggestion: 3 small bites to tripod the bite registration rather than full arch bite.

    CBCT – Dual Scan Technique* Dual Scan definition: one scan of the denture seated in the mouth IN occlusion. One scan of the denture alone sitting on foam or the chin rest of the scanner, not on plastic. Do not scan the patient alone w/o the denture.

Single Edentulous with opposing Edentulous
  • Photographs– Full face full smile photo, plus profile photo if Class II or III. Retracted photographs front, left side, right side IN occlusion, see below. We suggest capturing photos before taking impressions to keep the lips and teeth clean.
  • IO Scans – Intraoral scans of maxilla, mandible and bite are preffered. Take a 360 degree scan of the dentures outside of the patients mouth along with a bite scan.
  • Edentulous surgery arch– Use existing dentures as dual scan appliances (defined below). If patient does not have existing denture(s), fabricate new dentures to completion. If existing dentures are far from ideal, and teeth are not in the proper position, fabricate new dentures.

  • CBCT – Dual Scan Technique
    Dual Scan definition: one scan of the denture seated in the mouth IN occlusion. One scan of the denture alone sitting on foam or the chin rest of the scanner, not on plastic. Do not scan the patient alone w/o the denture.* Two scans are sent: 1) scan of the surgery arch with 6 markers on the denture, IN OCCLUSION 2) scan of the denture alone with markers in exact same positions.
