TempShell orders

Immediate provisionals enable a patient to obtain a temporary crown or bridge at their implant placement appointment. To achieve this, the DTX Studio™ Implant user and the dental laboratory (using DTX Studio™ design) work together to design a TempShell which can be converted chairside, by the clinician, to a provisional.

The TempShell workflow

The DTX Studio™ Implant user creates a patient file, adds prosthetic information and plans the implants. A TempShell order is created and sent to the dental laboratory, which receives a request in DTX Studio™ design. The dental laboratory designs a LabDesign in DTX Studio™ design.

Optionally, the LabDesign is shared with the DTX Studio™ Implant user. To check whether the design fits the treatment plan, the user adds the LabDesign to the treatment plan in DTX Studio™ Implant. If any adjustments need to be made, the lab is contacted (by phone or e-mail) to request adjustments. Multiple iterations between user and dental laboratory might be needed.

When the clinician confirms that the design fits, the TempShell design is created and shared. The DTX Studio™ Implant user adds the TempShell to the treatment plan.
