ScanSprays

Scan Spray for Dental Technology – Precise 3D Scans in the Dental Lab

Precise scan data starts with an optimally prepared surface. In digital dental technology, models, impressions and workpieces must be captured reliably so that they can then be processed further in the CAD/CAM workflow. Shiny, reflective or difficult-to-capture materials in particular place high demands on the scanning process.

With a suitable scan spray for dental technology, corresponding surfaces can be matted in a targeted manner and prepared for optical digitisation.

In the ScanSprays category at BRIEGELDENTAL you will find selected dental scan sprays, 3D scan sprays and scan gels for professional use in the dental lab.

Whether for digitising dental models, capturing dental workpieces or preparing demanding surfaces – discover practical solutions for precise and efficient scanning processes.

Scan Sprays and Scan Gels at a Glance

The BRIEGELDENTAL range includes five selected products for different requirements:

• CERAFUSION LiSi ScanSpray (200 ml): Scan spray for corresponding applications in digital dental technology.
• NanoScanGel: Scan gel as an alternative to conventional scan sprays, for metal, wax, PMMA, zirconia and plaster, among others.
• Scanspray Helling 3D: Scan spray for preparing suitable surfaces for three-dimensional capture.
• ScanSpray StoneWHITE: Scan coating for corresponding applications in optical digitisation.
• Scanspray Scantist 3D (200 ml): Scan spray in a practical spray bottle for suitable 3D scanning tasks.

The individual products differ in their application, form of application and respective properties. The decisive factors for selection are the material to be scanned and the requirements of the scanner used.

Why Is Scan Spray Used in Dental Technology?

In optical digitisation, surfaces are captured with a scanner and converted into digital data.

Depending on the scanning technology, highly reflective, transparent or optically non-uniform surfaces can make reliable capture more difficult.

A suitable dental scan spray can help prepare the surface for the scanning process.

Typical advantages of a suitable scan coating include:

• Reduction of disturbing reflections on suitable surfaces
• More uniform surface representation during optical capture
• Support for detailed scans of complex workpiece geometries
• Targeted preparation of different dental materials
• Integration into digital CAD/CAM workflows

It is important to apply the coating as evenly as possible and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. An unnecessarily thick layer can affect the captured geometry.

NanoScanGel – the Alternative to Conventional Scan Spray

Not every scanning task requires a sprayable coating.

With NanoScanGel, BRIEGELDENTAL offers an alternative for users who prefer targeted application with a scan gel.

According to the product description, NanoScanGel is suitable for, among others:

• Metal
• Wax
• PMMA
• Zirconia
• Plaster
• Rubber

According to the manufacturer, the gel produces a coating with a layer thickness of less than 5 micrometres.

A particular advantage is the targeted application without the typical spray mist of an aerosol.

According to the product description, NanoScanGel can be removed after scanning with steam or a damp cloth.

This makes the scan gel an interesting solution for dental labs that digitally capture different materials and prefer a controlled coating.

3D Scan Sprays for Digital Dental Models and Workpieces

Classic 3D scan sprays allow suitable surfaces to be coated quickly.

With Scanspray Helling 3D, ScanSpray StoneWHITE and Scanspray Scantist 3D, BRIEGELDENTAL offers various solutions for corresponding scan preparation.

Depending on the product, scan sprays can be used to make surfaces appear optically more uniform and to reduce disturbing reflections during digitisation.

When selecting, material compatibility, the desired coating thickness and subsequent removal of the scan coating should be taken into account in particular.

Scan Spray or Scan Gel – Which Is Better?

Whether a scan spray or a scan gel is the right choice depends on the specific application.

Scan sprays are suitable for workflows in which a sprayable coating is preferred. They can make it easier to prepare larger or complex-shaped surfaces.

Scan gels, on the other hand, allow targeted application to selected areas. This can be particularly practical for smaller workpieces or localised scanning tasks.

For a reliable decision, the following criteria should be checked:

• Material: Which materials are to be digitised?
• Scanner: Is the scan coating suitable for the scanning technology used?
• Form of application: Is a spray or a gel preferred?
• Layer thickness: How much may the coating affect the surface?
• Removability: How is the product removed after scanning?
• Working environment: What are the requirements for ventilation, cleaning and handling?

The respective product information provides details of the intended area of use.

Using Scan Spray Correctly – Tips for Everyday Lab Work

For precise optical capture, not only the product but also the correct application is important.

1. Prepare the surface: Clean and dry the workpiece in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Select a suitable scanning aid: Take material and scanner compatibility into account.
3. Apply the coating evenly: Avoid unnecessary material build-up.
4. Carry out the scan: Perform the capture in accordance with the scanner specifications.
5. Check scan quality: Check for missing areas or noticeable surface artefacts.
6. Remove the coating: Clean in accordance with the instructions of the scan spray or scan gel manufacturer.

When using sprayable products, the safety instructions and ventilation requirements must also be observed.

Scan Sprays for Efficient CAD/CAM Workflows

Digital dental technology depends on the reliable transfer of real workpiece geometries into virtual design data.

Suitable scan preparation can help support the capture process and avoid unnecessary repetitions.

Whether digitising plaster models, capturing metal components or scanning suitable resin and zirconia surfaces – choosing the right scanning aid is an important part of the entire workflow.

With various scan sprays and NanoScanGel, BRIEGELDENTAL offers practical options for different dental requirements.
