11.2 Implant module The DWOS software implant module provides the tools to design single or multiple custom abutment designs within the same arch. To fully implement the Implant module, the following is required: A scanning jig, which is the physical piece that is screwed or placed inside the implant stone model and when scanned, it will define the position of the implant within the patient. A defined implant kit that describes the geometric and dimensional information of the kit s components: scanning jig, implant body, implant interface (if used), implant transfer (if used) and screw (if used ). The following is an overview of the steps to design custom abutments: 1. Verify for each material type that will be used in your Custom Abutment designs, to activate the check mark associated to the Biomediface (Abutments) option within the Output Formats pull down 2. Create a new order 3. Scan model using a scanning jig 4. Initiate the CAD Engine to generate a CAD model 5. Using the CAD application, design your custom abutment 6. Generate the production output When the implant module is installed, the icon of CAD application includes a screw as shown below: Dental Wings inc. DWOS 3.0 user guide STI75-0028 11-2
11.3 How to Define an Implant kit The different implant specific components: jig, implant, implant interface, implant transfer and screw, are used to design a customized abutment. These components are defined within the Dental Wings Prosthesis Design software using the Implant Kit Manager. To start the Implant Kit manager, press the gear icon within the main tool bar and select Implant Kit. The main Implant kit window appears: This window is organized in two areas: List of existing implant kits Description of selected implant kit To import an existing implant kit library, right click on Implant option displayed within the upper left part of the window and select Import Implant Kit from the assistant.

Identify the path location of your implant kit library and press Open. Note: compatible DWOS implant kits have the extension is.ipflib as a file type. If you do not have this extension, your library needs to be converted. When the library kit is successfully added, it will be added to the available implant kit library list as shown below: Dental Wings inc. DWOS 3.0 user guide STI75-0028 11-4
Now familiarize yourself with the kit s contents. To do, select a kit to see its contents. You will see the parts numbers change according to manufacturer s specifications. Now using the left mouse button, click on the Preview button for a particular component within the library kit and a display of the component is displayed. Take note that not all components for each implant interface are required. The green as shown above indicates it is a defined component of the library. The red X s indicate that this component does not exist and is not needed for that interface design. If you click on all the green Preview buttons, then a complete synchronized assembly of the defined library kit components will display as shown below: Dental Wings inc.

11.4 How to Create Your Own Implant Library Kit For those whom have the ability to generate their own implant kit library, the Dental Wings design software provides an easy tool to generate your own kit. This is a two step process. First you will generate your own implant component designs and export an.stl for each component that will be a member of your library kit. The second step it to then use these.stl component files with the Implant Editor to assemble into a library kit for use by the Dental Wings Customer Abutment design software. 11.4.1 How to Assemble an Implant Library Kit from.stls First create a New manufacturer and enter its name. Then select New Implant Kit in the local menu of the new manufacturer An empty implant kit definition page is displayed Dental Wings inc. DWOS 3.0 user guide STI75-0028 11-7
According to your implant kit type, enter screw diameter (if used) and define all components by assigning an.stl file for the geometry description. To do, select the Assign button and define the path to locate each component.stl file. Repeat the procedure for all components until the kit is complete as shown in the example below: Dental Wings inc. DWOS 3.0 user guide STI75-0028 11-8
Once all desired kits are defined, you are now ready to begin generating custom abutments designs. You begin by creating a new order as described within the next section. Dental Wings inc. DWOS 3.0 user guide STI75-0028 11-9
