Alef Scan Body

The Alef scan body transfers the position and orientation of the implant to the digital workflow. Screwed onto the implant (or implant analog) before scanning, it is recognized by the scanning software so that the restoration can be designed in the correct position. It is made of titanium for durability and is offered in three heights to suit different soft-tissue depths and scanning conditions.

Sizes

• SB7 – 7 mm height
• SB9 – 9 mm height
• SB12 – 12 mm height

All scan bodies have a diameter of Ø3.75 mm and fit the Alef internal-hex connection (Ø3.5 mm platform).

How to use

Seat the scan body on the implant, tighten it to the recommended torque, scan according to your scanner’s protocol, and then remove it. Choose the height that remains visible above the surrounding tissue and adjacent teeth so the scanner can capture it fully. The torque is a maximum recommendation and should not replace the clinician’s judgment. Pair the scan body with a Ti-base abutment and a digital analog to complete the digital workflow.
