Register abutments
You had to receive custom abutment files created by tabletop scanners in dental laboratories or even make unnecessary cases in Medit Scan for Clinics to scan the abutment and create 3D data, making it difficult to get proper use out of "AI Abutment Matching."
The Register Abutments feature allows you to scan the patient's abutment directly in their case and register it as a library. Before the implanted fixture is placed in the patient's mouth, scan the abutment first and register it as a library. Then, you can use "AI Abutment Matching" to replace the scan data with the library data.
The following tools are provided for the Register Abutment feature.
Add
- Add abutments.
- You can add via scanning or importing.
Fill holes for abutments on/off
- Turn the toggle on and off to fill holes for abutments while merging.
Merge abutments
- Merge scanned or imported abutments.
Fill holes from your viewpoint
- Fill the abutment's hole from the direction you are looking at.
Reset abutment
- Reset to undo any changes made to the abutment.
Register in library
- Register the merged abutment in the library. It will be used for that specific case if you check the box.
