Many Lava C.O.S users find the Inspection feature an excellent tool to examine the prepared tooth when ready to scan. Simply select the Inspection Scan icon and Press your Start/Stop button. You will be able to clearly view the margin all the way around the prepared tooth, evaluate powdering levels, and determine whether you should make any adjustments. When finished, press your Start/Stop button and you will see the video image on your screen. You can review the video or press again to proceed directly to scanning. A few seconds to evaluate the field area will allow you to scan with confidence!

Next, press the start/stop button and proceed to scan. After capturing the desired information, press the Start/Stop button and you will see your image in black and white along with a touch buttons at the bottom of your screen.
