The following article will walk you through how to set up a new partial denture case and send the order to Dandy.
Step 1: Select 'New Scan'
Fill out your patient's first and last name, date of birth, and gender.
Step 2: Make selections for the order type
For ‘Procedure’ select ‘Denture/Removable’ and for ‘Type’ select ‘Full Immediate Denture’ or ‘Full Denture Tissue Based’ or ‘Full Denture Implant Based’
In the send to field be sure to select Dandy as your lab.
Under the denture details select the stage, tooth shade, tissue shade, and appropriate arch for the appliance.
Step 3: Proceed to the scanning page
Click on the scanner in the ribbon on the top of your screen.
The arch to begin scanning will be highlighted by the blue outline.
Step 4: Scan the lower arch
Position the wand flat on the ridge at the midline. Capture the lingual frenum and anterior lingual ridge. Complete the scan of the lingual surface while retracting the tongue. Roll over the ridge into the buccal and scan the midline. Repeat on the opposite side.
Aim to capture 4-5mm of gingiva.
Step 5: Scan the upper arch
Starting from the papilla, scan the palate in a wave-like motion to the vibrating line. Scan the entire alveolar ridge from one posterior are to the other. Capture the buccal surface of the ridge and vestibule from posterior to the midline. Repeat on the opposite side.
Step 6: Capture the bite
Use a high-viscosity dental putty to stabilize the jaws in the proper vertical dimension. With the putty in the mouth, mark the midline, lip line, and frenal attachments. Section the putty matrix into three pieces. Remove one posterior section of the putty at a time while scanning the contralateral bite.
Step 7: Process the scans
Select the magnifine glass from the ribbon at the top of your screen.
Step 8: Submit the case
Click the mail icon and select 'send' when you see the pop up.
Step 9: Fill out the Dandy Rx
It will take a few seconds, and then the DandyRx will pop up. The patient's information will copy over; just make sure to select the delivery address. Click 'Next' and you will be guided through the Dandy RX. Make all the required selections and add any extras. Once you select 'Place order' you will receive an expected delivery date.
