What is the use of bite locking in the scanning prosthesis?
During manufacture of a scanning prosthesis the dental technician must lock the bite and fix it in an articulator at a maximum of three millimeters with a non-radio-opaque material. This makes the visual separation of the maxilla and mandible much simpler during the segmentation. During manufacture of a tooth-supported guide the x-ray images can be harmonized with the laser scan of the plaster cast without difficulty.
