Project Creation

Proyecto
Cuando se inicia el software directamente, si el proyecto no está definido en otro software como "Exocad DentalDB", el proyecto de escaneo debe ser definido.
El software tiene una ventana de "Definición del Proyecto" donde hay todas las informaciones de los elementos que debe ser escaneados, para definir el Asistente Paso a Paso específico.
La definición del proyecto permite seleccionar uno de los tipos de proyectos disponibles haciendo clic en el icono de referencia en la barra a la izquierda de la ventana.
Todos los proyectos requieren unas "Informaciones Generales":
- El nombre del paciente (Obligatorio)
- El nombre del doctor (Opcional)
- Un nombre proyecto específico para guardar el proyecto en el disco; en caso contrario será generado un nombre automaticamente en base al nombre del paciente.
- Un nombre del técnico (Opcional)
- Notas (Opcional)
Para confirmar la definición del proyecto, hacer clic en el icono verde en la parte inferior de la ventana. El software creará un "Proyecto Estructurado" y iniciará el Step-By-Step Wizard.
Proyecto Protésico
Haciendo clic en el icono se habilita la definición de un Proyecto Protésico.
La sección protésica es la más compleja por el número de elementos que pueden ser definidos; por eso es necesario definir un diente a la vez.
Además de la sección "Informaciones Generales", el proyecto muestra 2 secciones adicionales
Definición del Proyecto
En la parte más extensa de la ventana, está disponible un odontograma que permite definir los elementos a escanear.
Pulsando {{Inline button%7CKey_ctrl.png}} cuando se hace clic en un diente, el último elemento seleccionado será copiado al diente seleccionado.
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.
Informaciones Dientes
La seccion a la esquina inferior derecha permite seleccionar el "Tipo de diente" y unas "Otras Opciones" para cada elemento seleccionado. Los Tipos de Dientes son:
- 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.
