About MagicAssist
MagicAssist uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) to automatically set up patient data by detecting points of interest.
(CB)CT Setup Workflow
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
If not already started automatically when importing a (CB)CT scan, start MagicAssist by clicking MagicAssist 
on the 3D X-ray menu tab.
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.
Manually Adjusting the Patient Setup
It always remains possible to manually adjust the patient setup. In the following scenarios, manual steps will still be required:
If the head position in a scan is too tilted.
When the scan contains a limited FOV. More specifically, for 3D X-rays with a width of less than 70 mm or a height of less than 30 mm.
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.
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 selecting them via the additional viewer settings.
Intraoral Scanner (IOS) Detection Workflows
The IOS data is automatically set up:
Auto orientation: Orientation of the jaw model as a u shape or an n shape.
Auto tooth centers: Detection of each tooth position and the tooth status (present or absent).
