Automatically Set up Patient Data
 |
This functionality may not be regulatory cleared, released or licensed for sale in all markets. |
MagicAssist sets up patient data automatically by detecting points of interest. It always remains possible to manually adjust the patient setup.
3D X-rays
The (CB)CT data is automatically set up by detecting:
tooth positions
OPG / PAN curves
field of view
patient orientation
TMJ area reslice curves
mandibular nerves
bone threshold
brightness and contrast
By default, MagicAssist is started automatically when capturing or importing a (CB)CT scan.
If disabled in the settings, start MagicAssist by clicking Set up 3D X-ray > Run auto setup on the 3D tools toolbar.
Note
When MagicAssist is disabled or skipped during the MagicAssist wizard, a full FOV (Field of View), OPG / PAN curves and tooth positions are set by default.
Auto Patient Orientation
The auto orientation can always be manually adjusted if needed, using the edit patient orientation wizard.
MagicAssist can return two orientation types:
Dental head position (DHP) (default): Makes use of the detected tooth centers to calculate the occlusal plane, which is used as the horizontal.
Natural head position (NHP): Makes use of the detected anatomical landmarks.
Note
Switch between head positions by clicking the drop-down arrow on the viewer title bar and selecting Patient orientation.
Manually Adjust the Patient Setup
In the following scenarios, manual steps could still be required:
If the head position in a scan is too tilted.
In case of a partial arch scan, the reslice curve cannot be detected.
The Natural Head Position (NHP) will not be detected if the required landmarks are outside the (CB)CT’s Field of View.
Auto Reslice Curves
Automatically set reslice curves go through the detected tooth centers and include the area of the detected TMJ.
In case of a partial arch scan, the reslice curve cannot be detected.
Default curves will get the same number of control/anchor points for consistency purposes.
Intraoral X-rays
By default, MagicAssist is started automatically when capturing or importing intraoral X-rays.
If disabled in the settings, start MagicAssist by clicking IO scan setup > Run auto setup on the 3D tools toolbar.
The intraoral scan data is automatically set up:
Auto-orientation: U-shaped or n-shaped orientation of the jaw model.
Auto tooth centers: Detection of each tooth position and the tooth status (present or absent).
Automatically Detect Tooth Positions
MagicAssist automatically detects tooth positions and places intraoral images on the correct intraoral layout placeholder:
when importing intraoral X-ray images.
during the capture wizard.
