Follow these steps to complete a denture workflow within the system:
Case Initialisation
Start a New Case: Open the software and initiate a new patient record.
Patient Details: Add the patient’s name and click OK.
Add Memo: Click the Add Memo button in the top right-hand corner. Type ‘full denture’ into the text box and click Save.
Scan Configuration
Begin Scanning: Click New Scan.
Soft Tissue Filter: In the bottom left-hand corner, ensure the Soft Tissue filter has the left option selected (the icon showing a tooth with the most tissue). This setting ensures all soft tissue is accurately captured.
Pre-op Scans: At the top centre of the page, select the Edit (pencil) button. Add pre-op scans for any edentulous arches you will be scanning.
Example: If the patient has no reference denture for their edentulous lower arch, add a lower arch pre-op scan to the flow.
Note: If the patient has reference dentures, there is no need to add a pre-op scan.
Scanning Flow & Tips
Follow the standard scanning sequence (lower, upper, then bite).
Clinical Tips for Success:
Bite Scans: Reinsert the patient’s denture(s) and scan intraorally to capture the bite.
Dually Edentulous: If the patient is edentulous in both arches, a bite scan is not required.
Anatomical Landmarks: Ensure the scans include the retromolar pads, the palate, and the tuberosities.
Extraoral Scanning: For reference dentures or wax rims, perform a 360-degree scan extraorally.
Finalisation and Submission
Finalise Scan: Once scanning is complete, click Finish at the top centre of the screen.
Send Order: Click Send.
Lab Prescription: The Dandy lab slip will appear on your screen. Complete the prescription details as required.
