📖 [ClinicCAD] Workflow

After launching the application, the user enters the data assignment window, where one of five available modules must be selected and the necessary scan data assigned for the current project. These modules (or workflows) represent the core use cases of Medit ClinicCAD: two dedicated to restoration design, one for creating diagnostic wax-ups, one for building a custom teeth library, and one for temporary restoration with a pontic as a core element.

Each workflow guides the user through a structured sequence of steps, beginning with data assignment and progressing toward the intended design outcome. To proceed, the user must select a module and assign at least one data set to the target arch.

After assigning the scan data, the user enters the first step of the workflow. Regardless of the selected module, this step includes two data management tools in the bottom left corner: Data Alignment and Data Editing. Although optional, these tools allow users to review and refine the imported scan data, ensuring greater accuracy and better results when designing the restoration in the subsequent steps.

Proper data alignment with the occlusal plane is crucial to ensure the accuracy of subsequent automated processes. In most cases, the scan data is automatically aligned upon import. However, if the alignment fails for any reason, the user will be prompted to complete the alignment manually.

1. To realign data manually, start by clicking "Detach Data" in the toolbox at the bottom.

2. Then, using either "Align by 3 Points" or "Align by 4 Points," set the corresponding number of points on the data.

• If you set the point incorrectly, use "Delete Point" to remove the last added point.
  
• If working with half arch data, use the "Half Arch Alignment" feature to ensure a more accurate alignment process.
  

3. Check the data alignment in the Multi-View on the right. If needed, adjust it by right-clicking to rotate and using both mouse buttons to move.

4. When finished, click "Done" in the bottom right corner to go to return to the first workflow step.

The Data Editing feature offers tools for refining imported scan data, removing the need for preparation in other programs. Clean scan data will ensure a faster work process and more accurate design results.
Using the provided tools users can trim the excessive or unneeded data parts, modify the data surface, and fill holes if any are present.

How to trim data

Trimming tools are automatically activated once user enters.

1. Start by choosing a selection tool to help you designate parts of the data that need to be removed.

	Smart Teeth Selection	Automatically select all teeth of the arch, leaving out gingiva parts.
	Brush Selection	Select all entities on a freehand-drawn path on the screen. Only the front face is selected. The brush comes in three sizes.
	Smart Single Tooth Selection	Automatically select the area of a single tooth, leaving out gingiva parts. Click and drag the mouse on the tooth.
	Polyline Selection	Select all entities within a polyline shape drawn on the screen.
	Flood Fill Selection	Select the connected area based on the mouse movements.

2. If needed, modify the selected area using the following tool options.

	Autofill Selected Area	Automatically fill in entities of the selected area.
	Shrink Selected Area	Reduce the selected area each time you press the button.
	Expand Selected Area	Expand the selected area each time you press the button.
	Invert Selected Area	Invert the selection.

• You can also turn on “Deselection Mode” to modify selection manually or use “Clear All Selection” to automatically deselect everything.
  

3. To complete the trim, click “Delete Selected Area.”

How to fill holes

1. Change to the "Fill Holes" tool.

2. Find an area where data is missing and adjust the "Maximum Perimeter of a Hole" slider.
If the "Use Neighboring Colors for Filled Holes" option is on, the program will use the matching color palette to fill the area; otherwise, it is filled in grey.

3. Click "Apply" to fill the holes with the new mesh.

How to sculpt data

Find the area of data you want to modify, then use the provided tools to add or remove data or to smooth and morph parts of it. You can also sculpt a more anatomical occlusal surface by using the "Groove" option.
Note that the strength and size of the sculpting brush is adjustable.

When finished, click "Done" in the bottom right corner to go to return to the first workflow step.

	Add	Use the mouse to add on part of the data. Hotkey: 1
	Remove	Use the mouse to remove parts of the data.  Hotkey: 2
	Smooth	Use the mouse to smooth parts of the data. Hotkey: 3
	Morph	Use the mouse to morph parts of the data. Hotkey: 4
	Groove	Remove material from the restoration with a sharp blade to create grooves. Hotkey: 5

How to extract teeth

Turn on the “Virtual Extraction” feature. Select the tooth you want to remove using the provided tools, then click “Apply” to complete the extraction. Afterward, check for any holes in the gum data or nearby teeth, and use “Fill Holes” to repair them.

The general workflow for creating ‘eggshell’ crowns and bridges consists of three steps: Tooth Selection > Margin & Insertion Path > Final Design. If the user chooses to use library data for crown creation instead of preoperative data for a specific tooth, an additional step—Tooth Data Arrangement*—is included in the workflow.

Tooth Selection

This is the first step in designing eggshell-type crowns and restorations. The goal of this step is to select preoperative data corresponding to each tooth registered in the Medit Link form and reuse it later to generate the restoration.

1. Upon entering this step, the data for the tooth numbers listed in the form at the bottom is automatically selected.

2. Review the accuracy of the automatic data selection to ensure the correct generation of the restorations' outer surfaces in the following steps. If editing is needed, select the target tooth number in the form and make adjustments using the selection tools.

• You can reset the data selection for a specific tooth using "Clear All Selection" and then accurately reselect that tooth with "Smart Single Tooth Selection." For this, click and drag the mouse over the tooth data.
  
• Or you can make minor corrections to the selection with “Brush Selection” or “Brush Deselection.”
  

3. If you intend to use the teeth library instead of the preoperative data for any of the target restorations, select the corresponding tooth number from the list at the bottom and enable the 'Use Library' toggle. This will add an additional step to your workflow later: Tooth Data Arrangement.

4. When done, click “Next” or press the space bar to move to the next step.

Margin & Insertion Path

The purpose of the second step is to establish the margin lines and set the insertion path for future restorations.

1. The margin lines will be created automatically upon entering this step. You must review the generated margin lines and edit them if needed.

• To edit the margin lines, use the “Shrink/Expand” slider at the bottom. You can shrink or expand the margin for all teeth at once or for a specific tooth number by specifying it in the form at the bottom.
• You can also edit the margin line by adding, moving, or deleting the control points. Click to add a point, right-click it to delete, and drag it to move.
  

2. The insertion path will be automatically detected. Review the detected insertion path, and if adjustments are needed, drag the insertion path arrow to modify its direction. The gray arrow will show the originally detected direction. 

• Alternatively, you can rotate the 3D data and click “Set Arrow to Your Viewpoint” at the bottom.
  

3. In this step, you can also review the parameters for the restoration’s inner and outer surfaces before they are applied in the next step. By default, your most recently used parameters will be applied. Click “Parameter Settings” in the Side Toolbar to see the details.

• You can manually configure the parameter values or use the recommended preset for your particular printer. 

  ℹ️ Note

  Read more on receiving recommended presets and managing the preset list in the Data Management > Presets Management chapter of this guide.

4. When done, click “Next.”

Final Design

This is the final step in designing the restorations. In this step, the user should review the design of the created restorations, make any necessary edits, and check the applied parameters before proceeding with printing. There are also two additional tasks that can be performed in this step: editing the bridge connectors and adding optional design elements to a crown.

1. Start by reviewing the created restorations. Turn on the analysis tools in the Side Toolbar to see where sculpting of the outer surfaces might be needed. ”Contact Areas with Adjacents” and “Contact Areas with Antagonists” will show the contact points with neighboring teeth through colors. ”Minimum Thickness” will point out areas of the crowns that are too thin in red. Add more material in these areas using sculpting tools.

2. Correct any design flaws using “Sculpting.” You can add, remove, smoothen, morph, and carve out material on the restoration’s outer surface. Choose a sculpting tool, adjust the brush strength and size, and then modify the required areas. Use the “Groove” option to create grooves easily.

3. Any substantial sculpting might require additional review of the restoration fit and previously set parameters. Use “Adaptation” to make quick adjustments; you can adapt the restoration to adjacents and antagonists by a set distance.

• If your bridge has a pontic, you can adjust its distance to gingiva using the Adaptation Tools in this step. Choose the “Adapt to Gingiva” feature, set the desired distance, and click “Adapt.”
  
• If dynamic occlusion data was imported, you can choose whether to adapt to antagonists based on ‘static’ or ‘dynamic’ occlusion.
  

4. If you are working on a bridge, the data of each individual element will be combined into one by adding connectors. Edit the connectors using the “Move,” “Edit,” “Allow Small Connectors,” or “Add/Remove” tools.

• When using ”Move,” drag the center point of a connector to readjust the connector’s position and cross-section area automatically.

  ℹ️ Tip

  Hold down Alt/Option to quickly freeform the connector with a mouse.

  

• When using ”Edit,” margins of the connector on both teeth will appear. You can reshape the connectors by editing those margins. Similar to editing the tooth’s margin line, click to add a point, right-click it to delete, and drag the points to move.

  ℹ️ Tip

  Hold down Ctrl/Command to quickly make minor changes in the margins.

  

• When “Allow Small Connectors” is enabled, the program ignores the minimum cross-section area defined in the Parameter Settings. Instead, it creates connectors solely based on the actual contact points between adjacent teeth.
  
• Turn on “Add/Remove” to manage connectors between all registered units, regardless of form information. This allows you to separate a bridge into single units or connect single units into a bridge.
  

5. If you are working on a crown design, you can add screw access holes or handles with “Screw/Handle.”

• Start by choosing what element you want to add and click “Auto Set.” This will automatically place the cylinder to create an element in the most optimal place—a handle on the lingual side and a hole in the center. Then, adjust the radius and height of the cylinder below and click “Add.”

  ℹ️ Tip

  The cylinder for creating an element can also be placed manually in your chosen spot with a double-click.

  

• You can also quickly move the cylinder around with a “Move” tool and change its direction by rotating the data and then setting it to your view with “Set Toward You.”
  

6. Lastly, review the inner and outer parameters in “Parameter Settings” before saving your design and sending it to printing.

The workflow in this module depends on the target restoration. The table below shows which steps are included in the workflow for each restoration type.

*The workflow for the cervical inlay is explained separately in the Appendix.

Auto Creation for Single Crowns

This module also supports the automatic creation of single crowns for premolars and molars based on preset parameters. To use this feature, the form in Medit Link must contain only single crowns. In the Assign Data window, activate the “Auto Creation” toggle and review the preset parameters in the settings.
After the data assignment, users will enter the Final Design step, where they can review and customize the generated crowns.

AI Design for Single Inlays 

This module supports AI-generated designs for single inlays on premolars and molars. The AI model uses the available preset parameters during the design process, so the preset parameters in the settings should be reviewed in advance.

To use this feature, the form in Medit Link must contain a single inlay. In the Assign Data window, activating the “AI Design” toggle enables the “AI Inlay” feature in the second step of the workflow.

Margin & Insertion Path

In the first step, users must draw margin lines for all teeth numbers entered in the form and then set the insertion path for each restoration.

1. Start by checking the teeth form at the bottom. If a tooth number has a green check mark, the margin line for this tooth has already been created or was imported from the case.
Margin lines for copings, crowns, inlays, and onlays are created automatically.

2. Then, select a tooth number that doesn't have a margin yet and draw it using the "Auto Creation" or "Manual Creation" tool.
"Auto Creation" draws a margin based on a single user-defined point; "Manual Creation" draws a margin based on multiple points.

• Turn on “Section View” or “Dynamic View Change” to assist you when drawing the margin manually.
  

3. All margins can be edited by adding, moving, or deleting the control points. Click to add a point, right-click it to delete, and drag it to move.
While editing, you can turn on "Curvature Display Mode" to better understand the depth.

4. You can work on the insertion path only after margins for all target teeth have been created.

Turn on “Show Insertion Path” and adjust the automatically set path by dragging the insertion path arrow. The grey arrow will indicate the original direction.

• Alternatively, you can rotate the 3D data and click “Set Arrow to Your Viewpoint” at the bottom.
  

5. When done, click “Next” or press the space bar to move to the next step.

Tooth Data Arrangement

In this step, the user must arrange the tooth data to create restorations. They can use either tooth library data or any available preoperative or reference scan data.

1. When you enter this step, tooth data from the selected library will be automatically assigned to all the target teeth specified in the form. There are 6 default tooth libraries, and you can choose which one to use in the Library toolbox on the right.

2. Alternatively, you can duplicate other available data to use it instead of the library one. For duplication, you can use either the pre-op data imported via the Assign Data dialog in the beginning or any other reference scans you load via "Import Additional Data" in the Side Toolbar. The latter lets you import additional data from other Medit Link cases or any locally stored data. To duplicate the data, use the "Copy/Mirror" tool. ”Copy” creates an exact replica of a scanned tooth, while “Mirror” creates a symmetrical one. Note that the copied or mirrored data will be applied only to the single tooth currently selected in the form at the bottom, allowing you to retain the library data for other teeth.

• Start by selecting a tooth number for which you want to use the duplicated data in the form at the bottom and finding the data you will be duplicating (use the Data Tree to make it visible).
  

• Then, choose "Copy" or "Mirror" in the floating widget and select the desired tooth data using the provided tools.

  ℹ️ Tip

  When copying data, note that the "Keep Size & Location" toggle allows you to create a duplicate of the same size and location as the original. If not turned on, the copied data will be placed onto the designated target tooth.

  

• Click "Apply" to substitute the library data with designated data. If you want, you can return to using the library data by clicking "Reset."
  

3. When you have arranged the tooth data for all your target teeth, adjust the data's placement using the "Positioning" tools. You can move, scale, or rotate the tooth data to ensure it is positioned properly.

• Use "Free Move/Scale" if you want to control data movements with no restrictions. To move data, use the mouse. For other actions like rotating and scaling, check the keyboard shortcuts under the question mark in the toolbox.
  
• Use "3D Manipulator" if you want to make precise or small adjustments to the data positioning. This feature lets you control data along the axis.
  

⚠️ Caution

• Revalidate position after free manipulation.

• Apply controlled transformations along intended axes only

4. You should consider the contact points with other teeth when positioning the tooth data. To evaluate the contact between the restoration and its opposing or adjacent teeth, refer to the color bar in the bottom left corner.

ℹ️ Tip

Try adjusting data visibility in Data Tree for more comfort when reviewing the contact points.

5. In this step, you can also review the parameters for the restoration's inner and outer surfaces before they are applied. To do this, click the "Parameter Settings" feature in the Side Toolbar on the right. You can use the recommended presets for your specific printer or manually adjust each parameter. By default, the most recently used parameters will be set up for you. 

ℹ️ Tip

For more details on receiving and managing recommended presets, go to Data Management > Presets Management.

6. When done, click "Next."

 

Final Design

This is the final step in designing the restorations. In this step, the user should review the design of the created restorations, make any necessary edits, and check the applied parameters before proceeding with printing. There are also two additional tasks that can be performed in this step: editing the bridge connectors and adding optional design elements to a crown.

1. Start by reviewing the created restorations. Turn on the analysis tools in the Side Toolbar to see where sculpting of the outer surfaces might be needed. ”Contact Areas with Adjacents” and “Contact Areas with Antagonists” will show the contact points with neighboring teeth through colors. ”Minimum Thickness” will point out areas of the crowns that are too thin in red. Add more material in these areas using sculpting tools.

ℹ️ Tip

Control data visibility in Data Tree for easy review of contact points and restoration fit.

2. Correct any design flaws using “Sculpting.” You can add, remove, smoothen, morph, and carve out material on the restoration’s outer surface. Choose a sculpting tool, adjust the brush strength and size, and then modify the required areas. Use the “Groove” option to create grooves easily.

ℹ️ Tip

Click the question mark in the “Sculpting” widget to see the shortcuts.

3. Any substantial sculpting might require additional review of the restoration fit and previously set parameters. Use “Adaptation” to make quick adjustments; you can adapt the restoration to adjacents and antagonists by a set distance.

• If your bridge has a pontic, you can adjust its distance to gingiva using the Adaptation Tools in this step. Choose the “Adapt to Gingiva” feature, set the desired distance, and click “Adapt.”
  

• If dynamic occlusion data was imported, you can choose whether to adapt to antagonists based on ‘static’ or ‘dynamic’ occlusion.
  

4. If you are working on a bridge, the data of each individual element will be combined into one by adding connectors. Edit the connectors using the “Move” or “Edit” tools.

• When using ”Move,” drag the center point of a connector to readjust the connector’s position and cross-section area automatically.

  ℹ️ Tip

  Hold down Alt/Option to quickly freeform the connector with a mouse.

  

• When using ”Edit,” margins of the connector on both teeth will appear. You can reshape the connectors by editing those margins. Similar to editing the tooth’s margin line, click to add a point, right-click it to delete, and drag the points to move.

  ℹ️ Tip

  Hold down Ctrl/Comment to quickly make minor changes in the margins.

  

• When “Allow Small Connectors” is enabled, the program ignores the minimum cross-section area defined in the Parameter Settings. Instead, it creates connectors solely based on the actual contact points between adjacent teeth.
  
• Turn on “Add/Remove” to manage connectors between all registered units, regardless of form information. This allows you to separate a bridge into single units or connect single units into a bridge.
  

5. If you are working on a crown design, you can add screw access holes or handles with “Screw/Handle.”

• Start by choosing what element you want to add and click “Auto Set.” This will automatically place the cylinder to create an element in the most optimal place—a handle on the lingual side and a hole in the center. Then, adjust the radius and height of the cylinder below and click “Add.”

  ℹ️ Tip

  The cylinder for creating an element can also be placed manually in your chosen spot with a double-click.

  

⚠️ Caution

Check that the screw/handle is not positioned in a functionally important area of the restoration.

• You can also quickly move the cylinder around with a “Move” tool and change its direction by rotating the data and then setting it to your view with “Set Toward You.”
  

6. Next, review the inner and outer parameters in “Parameter Settings” before saving your design. Both inner and outer parameters can be adjusted in the corresponding tabs.

This workflow is specifically designed for the fast and efficient creation of diagnostic wax-ups. It enables users to design the outer surface of future restorations and then print them together with the arch data. The entire workflow consists of just two steps.

1. This module is available only when the form information in Medit Link specifies the correct product type: Diagnostic Wax-Up. Make sure to assign it to all teeth that are designated as targets for the project. Then save the form and run Medit ClinicCAD.

2. In the Assign Data dialogue, select “Diagnostic Wax-Up“ and assign data for at least one arch. Click “Confirm.“

3. After importing the data, you will proceed to the Tooth Data Arrangement step. Before starting the wax-up, review your scan data for any unnecessary soft tissue or misalignment. If needed, use the “Data Alignment” and “Data Editing” modes located in the bottom left corner to make the necessary adjustments.

4. You can create the target restorations either by using the teeth library data or by duplicating a tooth from the imported scan data.

• The library data will automatically appear for the designated target teeth. You can change the selected library in the Library Toolbox on the right.

• For duplication, you can use either the pre-op data imported via the Assign Data dialog in the beginning or any other reference scans you load via "Import Additional Data" in the Side Toolbar. The latter lets you import additional data from other Medit Link cases or any locally stored data. To duplicate the data, use the "Copy/Mirror" tool. ”Copy” creates an exact replica of a scanned tooth, while “Mirror” creates a symmetrical one. Note that the copied or mirrored data will be applied only to the single tooth currently selected in the form at the bottom, allowing you to retain the library data for other teeth.
  Start by selecting the target tooth in the form at the bottom, then choose either the “Copy” or “Mirror” option. Next, use the available selection tools to define the data to be duplicated, and click “Apply.”
  

5. When you have arranged the tooth data for all your target teeth, adjust the data's placement using the "Positioning" tools. You can move, scale, or rotate the tooth data to ensure it is positioned properly. Make sure arranged tooth data is not sticking out on the gingiva side.

• Use "Free Move/Scale" if you want to control data movements with no restrictions. To move data, use the mouse. For other actions like rotating and scaling, check the keyboard shortcuts under the question mark in the toolbox. Use "3D Manipulator" if you want to make precise or small adjustments to the data positioning. This feature lets you control data along the axis.
  

6. Once all tooth data has been arranged and positioned, sculpt the data if necessary.

7. When all done, click “Next“ to move to the final workflow step.

8. In the final step, your arranged restoration data will be merged with the arch data into a single dataset. Review the combined mesh carefully, and if necessary, make final sculpting adjustments. When finished, click “Complete” to save the result to the Medit Link case.

This module allows users to create their own custom teeth libraries, which can later be used for restorations. Custom libraries can be generated either from scanned data or from the available pre-segmented tooth scans.

1. Start by choosing the type of data you will use to create your custom library—scan data or individual files—and prepare that data accordingly.

• Scan Data: Pre-operational scan data that must be captured in Medit Scan for Clinics and saved to the corresponding Medit Link case.
• Individual Data: Dataset of individual tooth files that are available locally. File names must follow the FDI or US numbering system. Each tooth mesh must have an open base (underside open). Supported file formats are STL, OBJ, PLY, and MeditMesh.

2. In the Assign Data dialog, select “Custom Teeth Library” and choose either “Scan Data” or “Individual Files.” If you are using data from a Medit Link case, assign the data as maxilla and mandible. If you are using individual files, select the what tooth numbering system was used and import all available files using “Import Local Files.”

Library From Scan Data

1. Once the scan data is imported, the application will automatically identify and segment each tooth. Review the results carefully to ensure that every tooth number has been assigned correctly and that the corresponding data is properly selected. 
If any tooth requires correction, select its number in the form at the bottom, then reassign its data using the available selection tools.

2. When all teeth are correctly selected, click “Next.“

3. Your teeth library will be generated in the final step. Review the data to determine if any teeth need to be repositioned or sculpted. Make sure to select the target tooth in the form below before adjusting its position or sculpting it. You can also choose to align the teeth either according to the original scan or along the jaw curve.

4. When all done, click “Complete“ to save the library to the Medit Link case.

Library From Individual Files

1. Once the files are imported, a chart will display the available tooth data. Confirm that all desired teeth have been imported. If you need to reupload the data, click “Reset” at the top.

2. You will then enter the final step, where you can reposition and sculpt the imported data, adjust its alignment, and modify the tooth base by extending its length.

3. When all done, click “Complete“ to save the library to the Medit Link case.

This workflow is intended for the fast and easy design of a temporary restoration with a pontic as the core element (referred to as a flipper). Both the pontic and its supporting base are designed within this process. The workflow consists of four steps: Tooth Data Arrangement → Insertion Path → Flipper Base → Final Design.

1. To begin working on a flipper, launch the app from a Medit Link case with an empty form (flippers are not supported as a standalone product type in Medit Link). 
Once the app is open, you can complete the form within the app. Choose the tooth number that will be converted into a pontic, then select “Flipper” on the right.

2. After completing the form, select the “Flipper” module and assign the scan data. Click “Confirm“ to import the assigned data.

3. First, you will enter the Tooth Data Arrangement step, where a pontic will be positioned. Before starting the design, review the scan data for unnecessary soft tissue or misalignment. If needed, use the “Data Alignment” and “Data Editing” modes in the bottom-left corner to make adjustments.

4. You can create the target restorations either by using the teeth library data or by duplicating a tooth from the imported scan data.

• The library data will automatically appear for the designated target teeth. You can change the selected library in the Library Toolbox on the right.

• For duplication, you can use either the pre-op data imported via the Assign Data dialog in the beginning or any other reference scans you load via "Import Additional Data" in the Side Toolbar. The latter lets you import additional data from other Medit Link cases or any locally stored data. To duplicate the data, use the "Copy/Mirror" tool. ”Copy” creates an exact replica of a scanned tooth, while “Mirror” creates a symmetrical one. Note that the copied or mirrored data will be applied only to the single tooth currently selected in the form at the bottom, allowing you to retain the library data for other teeth.
  Start by selecting the target tooth in the form at the bottom, then choose either the “Copy” or “Mirror” option. Next, use the available selection tools to define the data to be duplicated, and click “Apply.”

5. When you have arranged the tooth data for all your target teeth, adjust the data's placement using the "Positioning" tools. You can move, scale, or rotate the tooth data to ensure it is positioned properly. Make sure the arranged tooth data is not sticking out on the gingiva side.

• Use "Free Move/Scale" if you want to control data movements with no restrictions. To move data, use the mouse. For other actions like rotating and scaling, check the keyboard shortcuts under the question mark in the toolbox. Use "3D Manipulator" if you want to make precise or small adjustments to the data positioning. This feature lets you control data along the axis.

6. Once all tooth data has been arranged and positioned, click “Next.“

7. In the Insertion Path step, drag the insertion path arrow to adjust its default position. Review the available blockout settings and modify them as needed to ensure a proper fit for the final restoration. You can also set the offset distance and retention values. Click “Next” when you are ready to proceed.

8. In the Flipper Base step, an automatic base outline is created. You can adjust it using the “Edit” tool. If the automatically generated outline is not satisfactory or was not created, you can draw it manually using the “Manual Creation” tool.

9. Next, adjust the thickness of the flipper base. Click “Apply” to apply the selected values and generate the base. When you are ready, proceed to the final step.

10. In the last step of the workflow, you can review the final flipper design. Use “Sculpting” to refine the surfaces, and use the adaptation tools to adjust the pontic in relation to adjacent and antagonist teeth.

11. There are two options for exporting the final flipper design:

• Merged: export the pontic and base as a single combined file (single mesh)
  *The merged file after export is shown in a single color.
• Separated: export them as two separate files (two meshes)
  

12. Depending on the selected option, you can adjust the flipper settings, including the offset, the base of the pontic pocket, and the minimum thickness. (Pocket settings are not available when exporting a merged design.)

13. Use “Preview” to check and verify the completed design one more time before saving the project to Medit Link.
