Adding STL files (scanned models)

Importing  models and matching them to CT

From the model module you can add STL-scanned models.

1. Click on Import model This will automatically open the STL files saved on the same case file. Select the model you want, which will be shown in a preview window.

2. Choose how you want to load the model. Remember that it depends on the teeth you choose to work on from the beginning. 

3. Then, the model will be automatically registered and matched to the CT-constructed model.  You can rename the model and change  it’s color and visibility from the model’s card.  

   
   

Manual Model Matching

You can rematch the model manually by placing at least 3 similar points on the model and the 3D-constructed model. Selecting the camera icon will allow you to rotate both models simultaneously. 

You can also move or rotate the model on the 2D cuts. All the keyboard shortcuts to manually move the model are found in the edit model icon. 

Selecting optimized fitting will give you the best results. 

Adding Antagonist models and bite scans  

1. Click on Import model This will automatically open the STL files saved on the same case file. Select the model you want, which will be shown in a preview window.

2. Choose load model as antagonist.

   This will automatically place the model in the most predictable bite form. You can also edit manually by moving it either on the 2D cut or the 3D model.

   
   

Importing Denture 

To import a CT scan of a denture

1. Click on Import Denture and select any of the DCM files for the denture. This will import the denture DICOM and will automatically lead you to a segmentation window. 

2. Adjust the threshold until the denture is clear, choose Create STL and a denture model preview will appear.

3. Choose whether you want to register it as an upper or lower denture. The denture will automatically be matched to the 3D model according to the markers set if you have used the dual scan protocol.

You can also rematch manually by choosing rematch from the ‘edit model’ icon.

You can export the denture as an STL model from the denture card.
