The radial dependence of the free electron density within the ion sphere radius in finite temperature dense plasmas shows characteristic scaling laws that permit us to derive analytical plasma screening potentials. A generalized analytical approach is developed which shows good agreement with self-consistent quantum mechanical calculations. It is empirically discovered that anomalous strong scaling in the analytical model provides agreement with data obtained in a regime where the lattice structure still prevails.
