What’s Splint module
The Splint module in Atomica provides a complete digital workspace for designing accurate occlusal splints. Fully open and compatible with all scanners, and allows seamless manufacturing on any 3D printer. With an integrated articulator to simulate mouth opening and functional occlusion, and AI-powered teeth selection to speed up setup, the workflow is both precise and effortless for clinicians and labs alike.
Creating a New Case and Importing Models
Open the Atomica Launcher.
Create a New Patient.
Fill in the patient data.
Select the Prosthetic Module.
Import the first model (upper or lower jaw).
Ensure the occlusal surface is facing the camera.
For upper models, confirm the teeth are directed upward.
For lower models, confirm the teeth are directed downward.
This will open the Fine Tuning Window, where you can adjust the orientation and position of the model:
Left-click and drag to move the model freely.
Right-click and drag to rotate the model.
Import the antagonist model.
The antagonist will automatically load in occlusion, exactly as scanned
After importing the upper and lower models, select the Splint Workflow.
Adjust Bite Opening
Once you choose the splint workflow the lower model will be automatically activated
Mark the lower central incisor with a point to set the jaw opening.
Choose the type of splint you want to design.
Use the bite opening slider to adjust the opening to the desired distance.
The adjustment follows the natural hinge axis movement.
Generate Splint
Select the first and last teeth to be included in the splint.
Adjust design parameters:
Thickness
Tooth offset
Ensure Undercut Relief is set to Automatic unless manual editing is required.
The splint will be automatically created and made available in the editing/sculpting tools.
If no further adjustments are needed, proceed to export.
Exporting the Model
In the case panel, right-click on the model name.
Select Export.
Choose the destination folder where you want to save the file.
The model will be exported as an STL file, ready for 3D printing.
