Implant planning module from<br />
Carestream <strong>Dental</strong> now accepts<br />
open files from intraoral scanners<br />
Carestream <strong>Dental</strong>’s Prosthetic-<br />
Driven Implant Planning (PDIP)<br />
module can now accept scans from<br />
intraoral scanners that generates<br />
STL/PLY files, giving clinicians<br />
greater flexibility when planning and<br />
placing implants. The PDIP module<br />
is the implant planning solution<br />
that supports more confident<br />
diagnoses, improves treatment<br />
predictability, reduces the number<br />
of visits and leads to better patient<br />
communication and enhanced<br />
collaboration.<br />
“Opening up the module to accept<br />
STL/PLY files gives practitioners<br />
more options and helps them make<br />
better decisions about optimal<br />
crown and implant position, which<br />
leads to more control over the final<br />
clinical and aesthetic outcomes,”<br />
said Stephane Varlet, global product<br />
line manager for extraoral imaging,<br />
Carestream <strong>Dental</strong>.<br />
The PDIP module, which is an option<br />
available with CS 3D Imaging, makes<br />
it easy for doctors to ensure implants<br />
are positioned according to the ideal<br />
future restoration by letting them<br />
virtually plan a crown and implant<br />
on the same screen. The module<br />
automatically aligns the STL/PLY<br />
files from an intraoral scanner and<br />
DICOM file from either the CS 8100<br />
3D, CS 8200 3D or CS 9600 CBCT<br />
systems to create a virtual set-up<br />
with little to no manipulation from<br />
the doctor.<br />
Users then add a crown to the<br />
combined scanner/CBCT datasets<br />
and place the implant from a<br />
library featuring more than 90<br />
manufacturers. They can also<br />
add abutments, create their own<br />
implants and manage their own<br />
library. Practitioners can also<br />
generate an implant report to<br />
order the components required<br />
for surgery and to share with their<br />
treatment network.<br />
Because the PDIP module produces<br />
files in an open format, implant<br />
planning output can be easily<br />
exported with a single click into<br />
third-party software including<br />
Swissmeda or BlueSky Bio for the<br />
creation of surgical guides. DA<br />
