Acquiring 3D Data
There are two ways to acquire 3D data to use in Medit Temporaries:
1. Acquire scan data in Medit Scan for Clinics or Labs
Create a new case and complete the necessary scans in Medit Scan for Clinics or Labs. Scan data will automatically be saved in the patient’s case in Medit Link.
ℹ️ Note
Use the “Solid” option when scanning data in Medit Scan for Labs.
ℹ️ Note
Make sure that the data of the tooth you are making a crown for has no major holes. Use the “Fill Hole” function when completing scanning in scan acquisition programs.
2. Import local files through Medit Link
Before running the app, you can import data from local files and attach it to a Medit Link case in the Case Detail window.
ℹ️ Note
In Medit Temporaries, you can create restorations based on prepared data only, pre-op data only, or both prepared+pre-op data.
You will be working in a different module based on your scan data.
ℹ️ Note
Find more information on the modules in the "Major Functionality" chapter.
You will need the pre-op data for two of the modules available in the app (pre-op and pre-op + prepared).
To acquire this data, add "Pre-Op for Maxilla" or "Pre-Op for Mandible" to your scanning workflow in Medit Scan for Clinics via Stage Management.
<Medit Scan for Clinics>
Once added, the icons for these stages will appear at the top of the Medit Scan for Clinics.

ℹ️ Note
If your case has separate scans for the maxilla or mandible and the abutment data, the two will be automatically combined. After running the app, you will find the combined data in the Assign Data window. The new file will have either of the titles: Maxilla with Abutment or Mandible with Abutment.
