The path to a successful full-arch dental restoration begins with a precise digital impression. Yet, using a traditional vertical shaped Multi-Unit Abutment scan adapter for these cases can be challenging with:
- A lack of natural reference points
- Scanning and alignment difficulties
- Inaccurate data for the lab
Our DIRECTscan adapters and digital workflow were developed to overcome these challenges. It provides a seamless and highly accurate solution that ensures a passive-fitting prosthesis and exceptional patient outcomes.

A Smarter Way to Scan
Our DIRECTscan adapter is engineered with a unique design to facilitate a smooth, continuous scanning process and eliminate guesswork. Its distinct long horizontal shape, combined with individual symbols and markings, reduces the risk of losing orientation during a full-arch scan, ensuring you can reproduce implant position with high accuracy.
The system's innovative design partially covers the mucosa, which helps the intraoral scanner maintain continuity throughout the scan. This results in precise data capture for accurate multi-unit abutment positioning, with an average accuracy of within 10 microns.

Built for Your Practice, Not Just Our Products
Implant Direct believes in a truly open digital solution. The DIRECTscan adapter is a fully open system that seamlessly integrates with your existing intraoral scanner and is compatible with 3Shape and exocad software.
This allows you to work within your preferred digital workflow, collaborating with the lab of your choice without the need for a costly investment in a photogrammetry solution.
