Tip Cleaning & Sterilization:
The included tips have not been sterilized and must be sterilized prior to use.
The tip of the Heron IOS is inserted into the patient’s mouth during operation.
To prevent cross-contamination between patients the tip should be cleaned and
sterilized according to the following procedure.
Step 1: Clean the tip with soap water ensuring that the mirror is clean and free of
smudges, stains, or any milky haze. Do not use an abrasive surface to clean
the mirror.
Step 2: Aer drying the tip exterior, carefully dry the interior and mirror with
delicate task wipes (such as KimWipes®) ensuring you do not scratch the
surface. The mirror should be free of any noticeable blemishes prior to
continuing.
Be careful when cleaning
the mirror, it is delicate
and prone to scratching.

Step 1: Insert and seal the tip into a sterilization pouch
Step 2: Sterilize the wrapped tip in a steam autoclave at a temperature of 132°C
(270°F) and 210kPa (30.46 psi) for 6 minutes

Quantor3D will auto launch taking you to the scan window
Scanning Step 2: Scanning Preparation
Prepare the patient for the scan by ensuring that their teeth are clean, as dry as
possible, and void of any saliva bubbles, as they will show up on the scan. A cheek
detractor may be utilized if necessary. It is also important to inform the patient about
the procedure that is about to take place.
Equipment Check:
☑Connect all of the equipment as indicated in this guide
☑Ready indicated on screen
☑Sterile tip installed

Scanning Step 3: Basic Scanning Procedure
1. Place the open end of the tip of the heron over the area of interest, and keep it
stationary.
2. Click the scan button (A)
once in QuantorClinic, or
press the main button
on the handpiece.
3. Keep the handpiece
stationary over the
object of interest until
you hear a clicking sound
(if there is no clicking,
please adjust the sound
settings on your computer). You should see a 3D surface in the model view
window, with a green rectangle which indicates the last scanned position (B).
4. Continue scanning by moving the scanner slowly over and around the area
of interest. The Heron IOS can scan at a range of 0 to 12mm, however, better
scans are obtained at a closer range, and it is okay if the tip touches the
teeth. During scanning, you should continue to hear a rapid clicking sound and
observe a green rectangle indicating the last scanned area.
5. If the clicking sound
stops and a red rectangle
is visible on the model,
this indicates that data
from the handpiece is no
longer being integrated
into the model. In order
to continue scanning,
place the handpiece
over any area that
you have previously
scanned. When new data is being added to the model, the red rectangle
will change to green, the clicking sound will resume, and you can continue
scanning.
6. The scan can be paused by pressing the scan button on the handpiece, or
the scan button (A) in QuantorClinic. It is recommended to inspect the 3D
model, as it may be necessary to re-scan certain areas in order to ll in gaps, or
improve the scan quality.

7. The scan is saved automatically at each step in the workow.
8. To restart the scan, press the reset button. This will delete the current scan and
allow one to start a new scan.
9. Aer a scan step is complete you will see a green check mark in the workow at
the bottom of the screen beneath the appropriate icon.
Scanning Step 4: Finalization (A.T.R.S)
Aer the basic scan has been conducted, below are some tips that should be followed
to nalize the scan.
☑Analyze the scan for completeness and accuracy, make sure to rotate the scan
image on the main view screen in order to obtain a complete view of the scan
data
☑Trim away excess information (tongue, cheek, vestibule, tissue, ngers, etc.)
that may interfere with a successful bite alignment. (The Trim options are on
the right side work-ow in the “TOOLS” icon)
☑Rescan any area that is missing critical data for the success of the nal
restoration
☑Save and proceed to the next step in the scan strategy
Scanning Step 5: Exporting Files with Dentalshare & STL
• Aer you have successfully scanned the upper and lower jaws and aligned the
bite it is time to export the scan les to the dental laboratory for fabrication of
the restoration
• Dentalshare is a built-in le sharing system, your dental laboratory needs to
sign up for a dentalshare account in order to use the dentalshare network
• STL exporting (outside of dentalshare)
Keyboard Shortcuts
Use these keys anytime:
• {R} – reset entire scan
• {X} – re-center scan
• {Space} – start & stop scanning
• {Enter} – same as clicking OK
• {Escape} – same as clicking CANCEL
To use while navigating:
• {Ctrl + Z} – undo last step
• {Ctrl + Y} – redo last undo
• {+/=} – increase size of tool
• {-/_} – decrease size of tool
• {C/Insert} – Crop to current
selection
• {D/Delete} – Delete selection
• Hold Ctrl while clicking a tooth to
copy last selection
• Hold Shi to apply last setting to
multiple teeth

Scanning Strategy:
The most important part of acquiring a good scan is to be slow and methodical.
Quick, jerky handpiece movements will result in the target being outside of the
supported eld of view and/or in the loss of target tracking; both issues will be
indicated by a red rectangle on the 3D model. Surfaces with distinctive 3D structures,
such as the molar occlusal, provide an easy surface that can be used to restart target
tracking. Flat surfaces, such as the incisors, are less reliable for restarting a scan.
Although we do have specic directions regarding how to scan – scanning is a skill
that requires practice. Prior to use on a patient, practice should be conducted using
a dental typodont model.
Lower & Upper Jaw Scans
1. Start the scan path on the working arch (jaw) that has the restoration of
interest.
2. Full Arch, O.L.B. (Occlusal, Lingual, Buccal) – Start on the occlusal of the
distal most tooth in the arch (right side or le side) and proceed across the
arch, when you get to the canine area slide slightly towards the lingual surface
until you reach the pre-molar where you will move back to the occlusal surface
completing the occlusal scan to the distal most tooth. Reference the “live view”
window to make sure the scan path is oriented correctly, and refer to the “main
screen view” to observe “holes” being lled while traversing the scan path.

9
3. Aer you complete the occlusal scan drop down to the lingual surface and scan
all the lingual surfaces of all the teeth
4. End your scan path by scanning the buccal surface of the posterior teeth and
the facial surface of the anterior teeth to complete your scan strategy.
5. You can turn the scanner o at any point during the scan; make sure you
restart the scan on any occlusal surface that you have already scanned to
re-orientate the scanner
6. Use the same strategy for the top bridge, or to do a quadrant.

Bite Alignment Procedure:
The bite alignment procedure will be necessary to align the upper and lower jaws.
This process will only be allowed if lower and upper jaw scans have been previously
conducted. Once the Bite button is pressed, it may take a few seconds to load the
previous scans.
1. Start scanning from the back of the upper buccal area. Move forward and
backwards along the molar and pre-molar area, making sure to scan some
of the gingiva area and to tilt the handpiece upward slightly. When an initial
alignment is found the jaw will be transformed into alignment with the bite
scan. When a nal alignment is found the application will “ring” and a green
check mark will appear on the upper jaw image in the upper right corner of the
application.
2. Once the upper jaw is aligned, move the handpiece down to the lower jaw
Again, move the handpiece forward and backwards along the buccal of the
molar and pre-molar areas, making sure to scan some of the gingiva area, and
tilt the handpiece downward slightly. The update process for the lower jaw
is like that of the upper jaw, except when a nal alignment is found a green
check mark will appear on the lower jaw image in the upper right corner of the
application.
3. When both jaws have been aligned, pause the scan and review the alignment.
If occlusal between the upper and lower scans is observed, you can choose
to restart the bite alignment process or export the scans to ne tune the
alignment in a third-party application.
