Implant Scan Bodies

Titanium scan bodies for intraoral and lab scanning, matched to internal hex, Nobel Active® compatible and multi-unit platforms.

An implant scan body (scanbody) transfers the implant position from the mouth or the model into CAD software. Surcam scan bodies are machined from Ti-6Al-4V titanium and have matching digital library files, so the software places the implant's position, depth and orientation correctly.

Choose by connection: the standard or long scan body for the internal hex, the NP 3.5 or RP 4.3 scanning abutment adaptor for Nobel Active® compatible conical platforms, and General or Prime Multi-Unit scan bodies for multi-unit and full-arch cases. Scan bodies are supplied non-sterile; follow the IFU for cleaning and sterilization.

Choose a scan body by connection

Internal hex: the standard scan body, or the long scan body when the platform sits deep or the tissue is thick.
Nobel Active® compatible: scanning abutment adaptors for the NP 3.5 and RP 4.3 conical platforms.
General Multi-Unit: the General Multi-Unit scan body, also available PVD TiN coated.
Prime Multi-Unit: the Prime Multi-Unit scan body, plus the 3D scan body in an intraoral version and a lab version.

Intraoral scan or lab scan?

For an intraoral scan, the scan body is screwed onto the implant or multi-unit abutment in the mouth and captured with an intraoral scanner. For a lab scan, it is screwed onto the analog in the stone model and captured with a desktop scanner. Either way, the CAD software matches the scanned shape to the library file to find the implant position.

Getting an accurate scan

Seat the scan body fully and tighten it as the IFU describes.
Keep enough of the scan body above the tissue for the scanner to read it. Use the long version for deep platforms.
Don't modify a scan body or use one that is damaged.
Use the library file that matches the scan body you ordered, from the digital libraries page.

Complete the digital workflow

After the scan, design the restoration over a Ti-base and check it on a printed model with a digital analog. For full-arch cases, see multi-unit abutments.

FAQ

Scan body FAQ

All FAQs →

What is a scan body for dental implants?

A scan body is a precision titanium part screwed onto the implant or multi-unit abutment before a digital impression. The intraoral or lab scanner reads its geometry, and the CAD software uses the matching library file to place the implant's exact position, depth and orientation in the design.

Is a scanbody the same as a scan body?

Yes. Scanbody, scan body, scan abutment and scanning abutment are names for the same part. Surcam's Nobel Active® compatible versions are listed as scanning abutment adaptors.

Which scan body do I need?

Match it to the connection you are restoring: the internal hex scan body (standard or long), the NP 3.5 or RP 4.3 scanning abutment adaptor for Nobel Active® compatible conical platforms, or the General or Prime Multi-Unit scan body for multi-unit restorations.

When should I choose the long scan body?

Choose the 13 mm long scan body when the implant platform sits deep below the gingiva or the soft tissue is thick. The extra height keeps enough of the scan body visible for the scanner to register it reliably.

Where do I get the CAD/CAM library files?

From Surcam's digital libraries page. Use the library that matches the scan body you order so the software aligns it correctly.

Are scan bodies supplied sterile?

No. Scan bodies are supplied non-sterile. Clean and sterilize them before intraoral use as described in the IFU.
