“DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina delivers the exciting functionalities dental experts have been waiting for,” said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO of exocad. “The new release offers more automation, speed, and intuitive workflows from CAD to CAM.”
New Features, More Automation, and Seamless Integration
DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina introduces numerous time-saving features. The new Preparation Margin Repair tool allows users to optimize imperfect intraoral scans, fixing margins to achieve acceptable results despite artifacts or holes in the scan. The new Auto-Articulator provides fully automatic consideration of dynamic occlusion. The release also includes seamless integration with compact milling machines, allowing users to choose their preferred block and initiate production directly from their CAD software. Users can switch tooth libraries while retaining their previous setup.
Elevated Smile Creator for Better Visualization and Pre-operative Treatment Planning
The Smile Creator module incorporates new tools for enhanced predictability and planning. Users can now design virtual gingiva for more realistic outcomes and create smiles based on patients’ natural teeth. The ability to adjust 3D rendering to the camera’s focal length enables a more precise, photo-driven smile design.
Improved Bite Splint Module and Full Denture Module
The Bite Splint Module in DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina offers increased automation in bite splint design, saving design time. The Full Denture Module includes a feature for rapidly copying 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. Additionally, dentures on ball attachments are now supported. An add-on module for the Ivoclar Ivotion Denture System, along with a dedicated tooth library from Ivoclar, is now available.
iTero-exocad Connector Redefines Seamless Workflows
Enhancing collaboration between labs and doctors, clinicians can now share external case-related files like images, videos, and X-rays with exocad DentalCAD users through 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 validate margins with iTero intraoral camera images and visualize internal tooth structure with iTero NIRI (Near Infra-Red Imagery) technology.
Other Major Highlights of DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina Release Include:
- Design post and core restorations for a crown matching the core 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
