NOT ALL PHOTOGRAMMETRY IS EQUAL Questions to ask before you buy

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 camreas ensure precision and passivity.
Q. What materials are
the scanbodies made from?
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.
MORE QUESTIONS TO ASK
- Does your price include hands-on training?
- Does your price include 24-hour support?
- What are the ongoing costs?
(fees for software, licensing, per case, etc.) - How accurate is the system?
- Can I scrutinize your accuracy data, and can I perform my own “double scan” test for precision?
During calibration, internationally accepted standards of known accuracy are used to check the values of instruments to ensure their proper operation.
Without regular calibration, a measuring device “drifts” over time, cannot assure precision, and risks failure.
