Project Creation

Проект

Если проект не был сформирован в другой безе данных, например, Exocad DentalDB, он должен быть создан при запуске программы.

Программа имеет окно Менеджер проекта для сбора всей информации по поводу сканироуемых элементов и подготовки особой Пошаговой инструкции.

Менеджер проекта позволяет выбрать один из доступных типов проекта при нажатии на соответсвующий значок в левой панели окна.

Во всех типах проектов, пользователю необходимо привести Общую информацию:

• Имя пациента (Обязательно)
• Имя врача (опционально)
• Название проекта на диске. Если название не присвоено, оно будет автоматически определено на основании имени пациента
• Имя техника (опционально)
• Примечания (опционально)

When the project is defined, confirm it by clicking on the green icon at the bottom of the dialog. The software will create a specific Structured Project and start the Step-By-Step Wizard.

Fixed Prosthesis Project

Project Definition enabled by clicking on the Prosthesis icon.

The prosthesis section is the most complex because of the amount of elements that can be set and which require a tooth by tooth definition.

Other than the General Information section, this project shows 2 additional sections

Project Definition

In the main part of the window, an odontogram is available that allows to define the elements that have to be scanned.

By holding when clicking on a tooth, the last selected item will be copied to the selected tooth.

By holding when clicking on a tooth, the last set parameters will be copied to all the teeth between the last tooth and the selected one.

Tooth Information

The section in the bottom right corner allows to select the Tooth Type and some Other Options for each selected element. The Tooth Types are:

None 

this tooth is not part of the project, it will not be acquired or can be ignored

Healthy 

this tooth is part of the main stone model, it can be acquired with the rest of the model

Stump 

this tooth is a removable die that has to be acquired alone or on the Multi-Die support

Pontic 

missing tooth in between two stumps, it will be the intermediate element of a bridge

Implant 

there is an implant in this position, therefore a Scan Body will be acquired

Bite 

this tooth is part of an occlusal bite

Every tooth type has a specific color in the project definition scheme.

The Other Options are:

Gingiva 

this element is mounted on an artificial gingiva that has to be acquired separately from the stone model

Pre-Op

the anatomy of this element is part of an additional model that will be acquired separately and then aligned to the reference stone model

Waxup 

over this tooth position, it's possible to scan a Pre-Modelled Waxup that will be aligned to the rest of the stone model

Additional Parameters

In the general information section, there are some additional parameters:

Articulator Box

Select how the models are kept in articulation:

Matching models 

to scan the occlusion if there is no need to use the automatic positioning in Exocad's Virtual Articulator

Articulator A 

to scan the Artex Articulator and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator

Articulator S 

to scan the Sam Articulator and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator

Articulator P 

to scan the Kavo Articulator and to use the same in Exocad's Virtual Articulator

Model Type Box

Select which specific workflow to use:

Sectioned Model 

default workflow, in which every element is acquired separately and all the information gets merged at the end

Impression Scan 

if the Impression Scan Module is enabled in the license, check this option to scan an impression and not a stone model

All In One 

if the All In One Scan Module is enabled, it is possible to scan all the parts of a Quadrant Trye in just one step

Unsectioned Model 

enable this option if the model to be scanned is not sectioned, the scanner will not require a separate scan for every die

Here below an example of a defined prosthesis project for a 3-elements bridge with a stone antagonist:

Multi-Die Project

Use the Multi-Die Project to scan different dies from different patients in one single project:

To set the case, click on each multi-die position and define the name of each patient in the Patient field.

Orthodontic/Scheletric/Impression Project

The Orthodontic, Scheletric and Impression Projects are straightforward and similar to one another.

These projects require the user to select the whole jaws instead of individual teeth.

When the project definition is confirmed, the software will prepare the Project Tree to acquire the data from the scanner.

Project Editing

If the project definition needs to be changed while already in use, it is possible to select the Edit Project tool in the File Menu or in the Project Toolbar (See Support Toolbars And Menus).

This tool will open again the Project Manager with the current project definition. It is possible to change the project definition and the parameters of every tooth.

When the editing is confirmed, the software will adapt the Project Tree. Editing an already scanned, or partially scanned, project can cause data loss.
