Scanning strategies. (a) Prepared teeth have reflective surfaces due to enamel or polished surface. Powdering can increase diffuse light that diminish this phenomenon. (b) A one-way scan (S sweep on vestibular, occlusal, and lingual surfaces). (c) A linear movement on occlusal-palatal surfaces followed by buccal surface. (d) Proximal faces are hidden if the scanning strategy is not adapted.
