DentalCAD 3.0 Galway from exocad GmbH has been updated to reduce design time. It features Instant Anatomic Morphing, which offers automatic adaptation of teeth in real time with improved speed and precision for anatomic tooth placement, the company said. 

“We have systematically analyzed, in which steps dental technicians around the world spend the most time on during restorative design. Based on the extensive analysis, we developed technologies such as the new Instant Anatomic Morphing, which enables users to reduce design time by as much as 20% to 30% on average,” said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO of exocad.

“Thanks to the advanced process automation, dental technicians will get from the automatic proposal to their individual design goal faster, as the anatomy of teeth is adjusted in real time with each movement, resulting in a major increase in productivity,” said Steinbrecher.

DentalCAD 3.0 Galway also includes artificial intelligence as part of its Smile Creator feature. It automatically detects facial features to achieve an aesthetic proposal faster to save time in designing cases.

Another new feature offers printable clip-on mockups of the planned anatomic result. Instead of a purely visual representation of the smile makeover on screen, patients can physically experience their new smile with try-ins, resulting in higher patient engagement and opening up new possibilities in consultation, exocad said.

Inspired by Google Material Design, exocad said, DentalCAD 3.0 Galway features a new, modern user interface and improved integration with exoplan, the company’s implant planning software. All of its features are designed to improve ease of use in CAD design and to expand the possibilities of digital dentistry, the company said.

With this new release, exocad said, it is introducing 90 new and 80 optimized features, including:

  • Parametric shape adjustment: All tooth libraries are continuously adjustable from a newer to an older anatomy, seamlessly applying natural abrasion to all selected teeth
  • New tools for easy and intuitive controlling of the individual path of insertion
  • Improved bridge connector editing with split-screen view and tools to change several connectors at once for a faster workflow in every anatomic situation
  • Model Creator now supports conical stump dies for easier fitting even with lower accuracy printers
  • Bite Splint Module can now add anatomic shapes directly to the designed bite splints

DentalCAD 3.0 Galway is available immediately worldwide and can be accessed by all users with a valid upgrade contract.
