Abstract: A method of intraoral scanning includes receiving a plurality of intraoral scans of a dental site during an intraoral scanning session, generating a three-dimensional (3D) surface of the dental site from the plurality of intraoral scans, identifying hard tissue and soft tissue in at least one of a) the plurality of intraoral scans of the dental site or b) the 3D surface of the dental site, and displaying a view of the 3D surface, wherein a first visualization is used to display first portions of the 3D surface identified as hard tissue and a second visualization is used to display second portions of the 3D surface identified as soft tissue.
