The present teachings relate to a method for assisting an intraoral scan including providing an intraoral image of a patient, and providing an extraoral image; the extraoral image being representative of the position of an extraoral scanner part. The teaches further include generating, using the intraoral image and the extraoral image, a mapping function correlating the position of the extraoral scanner part with the position of the intraoral scanner part; and computing, using the mapping function, a desired extraoral position of the extraoral scanner part; the desired extraoral position corresponding to a preferable intraoral position of the intraoral scanner part. The present teachings also relate to a system, a device, a use, data, and a storage medium.
