New features, more automation and seamless integration
DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina includes many time-saving features. The new preparation margin
repair tool enables users to make the most out of imperfect intraoral scans – users can fix
margins to get an acceptable result despite artifacts or holes in the scan. A new autoarticulator offers fully automatic consideration of dynamic occlusion. Also included is a new
integration of compact milling machines. Users can select their preferred block and start
production seamlessly from within their CAD software, and switch tooth libraries while
keeping their previous setup
Elevated Smile Creator for better visualization and pre-operative treatment planning
New tools in the Smile Creator module bring users more predictability and better planning
options. Users can now design virtual gingiva for more realistic outcomes and create
smiles based on patients’ natural teeth. The ability to adjust the 3D rendering to the
camera’s focal length enables a more precise photo-driven smile design.
Improved Bite Splint Module and Full Denture Module
With the Bite Splint Module in DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina, users can now enjoy more
automation in their bite splint design and save design time. The Full Denture Module
includes a new feature to rapidly copy an existing denture in a highly automated workflow.
This provides a faster and more cost-effective alternative to relining, leveraging recent
advances in 3D printing. In addition, dentures on ball attachments are now supported. An
add-on module for the Ivoclar Ivotion™ Denture System is now available as well, in
conjunction with a dedicated tooth library, available from Ivoclar.
iTero-exocad ConnectorTM redefines seamless workflows
To improve collaboration between labs and doctors, clinicians can now share external
case-related files like images, videos and X-rays with exocad DentalCAD users via the
MyiTero™ portal. The new bi-directional case communication allows DentalCAD users to
share their 3D designs with the doctor for an efficient preview-and-approval process.
Within the CAD software, lab users can also validate margins with iTero intraoral camera
images and visualize internal tooth structure with iTero NIRI (Near Infra-Red Imagery)
technology.
Other major highlights of the DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina release include:
• Design post and core restorations so that a crown matching the core can be
designed in the same step (beta)
• New Virtual Articulator support for Gamma Dental Reference SL, Kavo
PROTARevo 5B, plus an anatomical “in-skull” articulator visualization
• An easier and more efficient process for titanium bases supporting variable screw
channel angulation
