Titanium Body Scan For Multi Unit 1.6

The Titanium Body Scan is designed to support digital impression workflows by accurately transferring the position and angulation of the Multi Unit 1.6 Abutment into a digital model. It is attached to the abutment and scanned either intraorally or in the lab, providing reliable data for CAD/CAM-based prosthetic design. Its geometry mimics the emergence and platform of the abutment, ensuring that restorations fabricated from the scan data will seat properly with minimal adjustment.

The Titanium Body Scan is made from Grade 5 titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), a strong and biocompatible alloy commonly used in dental implant components. This material provides high dimensional stability and resistance to deformation, which supports consistent scan accuracy. The scan body features an anti-reflective coating, which reduces light scatter during intraoral or lab scanning and improves data capture precision. Unlike PEEK scan bodies, the titanium version is more resistant to wear and can be reused multiple times without compromising accuracy, making it suitable for repeated clinical and laboratory use.

Yes, all our titanium scan bodies, including this one for a multi-unit 1.6 abutments, are designed to be reusable; however, the number of safe reuses depends on the clinical handling and sterilization protocols. Repeated autoclave cycles, especially if not properly managed, can affect the integrity of the anti-reflective coating and potentially alter surface geometry over time. Inadequate drying or aggressive cleaning methods may also impact scan accuracy. To maintain precision in digital impressions, it's important to inspect the scan body for wear, deformation, or coating degradation before each use. When used and sterilized according to guidelines, titanium scan bodies can offer consistent performance across multiple cases.

No, the Titanium Body Scan is not universal. However, this scan body is compatible with internal hex and conical connection multi-unit abutments, that feature a 1.6 mm screw connection, in both straight and angulated versions, across all platforms (slim, standard, narrow and regular). It works exclusively with the GDT Implants Multi-Unit 1.6 CAD/CAM library and should only be used with supported components to ensure accurate digital impressions and reliable prosthetic outcomes.
