Figure 3.
Display of the working process of the triple-scan protocol. Following digitization of objects, FM and MS are aligned in the
first step. Note the red areas on master cast displaying the selected surfaces for subsequent best-fit registration. In the
successive step, the previously selected areas are deselected (left image – Step 2) and surface areas are selected on FS,
exclusively for registration with FM (Step 2). Screenshots of aligned virtual objects are shown. Note that the positioning
represents true spatial orientation following the triple-scan protocol (Step 3).
FM: framework–master cast; FS: framework solo; MS: master cast solo.
