Why should I use them?
Soft tissue management is an essential factor for intraoral scanning of the edentulous arches. Such management involves a series of actions that make effective scanning possible.
What is the LO RUSSO RETRACTORS retractor system used for?
It creates conditions for optimal and fast scanning
Retract
Keep away surrounding tissues from the arches
Stabilize
Hold in place the mobile tissues
Expose the scan field
Provide easy scanner access to the field to be scanned
Support for the scanner tip
The scanner tip can be placed on the device; in this way it is stabilized
Guide for movement
The shape of the device complements the scan path and can help in making proper movement with the scanner
Maintaining distance from the ridge
The support function together with the guide function facilitates maintaining an adequate distance from the ridge
LO RUSSO RETRACTORS integrate multiple actions on tissues and auxiliary functions for the scanning equipment and the operator. For these reasons, the use of LO RUSSO RETRACTORS improves the intraoral scanning experience and allows to obtain predictable results both in the case of edentulous ridges, and when the presence of involuntary movements, or the lack of cooperation of the patient, prevent effective use of the intraoral scanner.

Which scans can I use LO RUSSO RETRACTORS for?
The retractor system LO RUSSO RETRACTORS is useful in all cases in which the presence of mobile tissues, involuntary movements, or lack of patient cooperation prevent effective use of the intraoral scanner.
Here you are some examples of use in various areas of application on edentulous arches, in the presence of natural teeth or implants:
Complete edentulous
Partial edentulous
Fixed on implants
Fixed prosthesis
Orthodonthics
