How to Design an Abutment with 3Shape Dental System
DentalDesigner™ is an advanced software package for designing high-precision, customized restorations from 3D scans of dental models and impressions. Using the latest technologies, the DentalDesigner™ software facilitates fast and easy modeling of complex constructions as well as enabling automatic manufacturing of the final restoration model on computer aided production equipment.
DentalDesigner launches after you have placed an order in DentalManager, scanned it and clicked Model. The image on the left illustrates the scan file that goes into DentalDesigner for modeling; and the image on the right shows the output model ready for manufacturing.
Customized Abutments
Step 1: Annotations
This step is identical to Annotations described in Single Coping chapter.
Step 2: Insertion Direction
Once you have annotated the implants it is necessary to specify insertion directions for the abutments.
Click the Insertion direction button in the Process toolbar and position the restoration in parallel to the screen with a view of the insertion direction being perpendicular to the screen. When the desired position is found, click the Insertion direction button to save its position.
When you have a few abutment groups defined at the order form stage, they will have their insertion directions specified separately.
