Tooth Workspace

To open this workspace, click Tooth on the workspace bar. Alternatively, press [F4] or use SmartFocus™ in another workspace by pressing the space bar and clicking a tooth or by clicking  on the top menu bar.  

This workspace is only available:

If intraoral images are added to the diagnosis, or 

If a 3D (CB)CT scan is added to the diagnosis and the tooth positions have been calibrated.

Note

Tooth positions are automatically calibrated with MagicAssist, when setting up an OPG/PAN curve or manually via the tooth positions tool.

To open this workspace, click Tooth on the workspace bar. Alternatively, press [F4].

Depending on the available data for the chosen tooth, the default tooth workspace viewers differ.

Available data Default workspace layout
2D and 3D Reslice images, 3D viewer and the most recent 2D image
2D Most recent 2D image
3D Reslice images, 3D viewer

Viewers

At first, the Tooth workspace consists of five viewers: a parallel reslice viewer, a perpendicular reslice viewer, a horizontal reslice viewer, a 3D viewer and the most recent 2D image. Via the Layout tab layout icon of the SmartPanel you can add or remove a reslice viewer or related image.

The perpendicular viewer has a vertical slider which rotates the slices around the tooth rotation axis. The index in the bottom-right corner shows the amount of rotation of the reslice around the tooth rotation axis.

Dynamic slice hints indicate the orientation of the reslice. Depending on the situation, the following slice hints are shown: Oral/Buccal (O / B), Mesial/Distal (M / D), Left/Right (L / R).

The position of a viewer relative to the other viewers is indicated by colored index lines.

Notes

The 3D reslice viewers have a default slice thickness of 0.5 mm. 

To visualize the position of the reslices, the reslice objects on the 3D viewer in the bottom-left corner can be displayed. On the Viewer tab of the SmartPanel, make sure the visibility icon visibility icon in front of the Reslice Objects is selected.

The composition of the Tooth workspace is saved per tooth per diagnose.

Note

This is true, except for a 3D panoramic. If a 3D panoramic is added to the Tooth workspace, it will be shown for all teeth. If you remove the 3D panoramic, it will be removed from all teeth. On the 3D panoramic, SmartFocus™ can be activated.

SmartLayout™

Customize workspaces with SmartLayout™:

To add another viewer to the workspace, click a tile on the SmartPanel Layout tab layout icon. The added viewer is indicated on the SmartPanel with a green border.

To remove a viewer from the workspace, click the tile again.

To sort by modality, date or to have selected tiles appear first, click the Sort by drop-down menu and select either Modality, Date or Selected first.

To rearrange the workspace layout or to change the viewer proportions, drag one of the window splitters . When the workspace is changed, the last position of the splitters for this workspace is saved.

To close a viewer, click on the top-left window title. Select Close viewer. Alternatively, press [Q].

To save the workspace layout, click  next to the workspace title and select Save workspace layout. This layout is set as default layout for new patient diagnoses. To reset the viewers, click Reset workspace.

Calibration

To adjust the rotation axis:

Click Edit axis calibration icon or press [A].

An orange cross  is drawn on top of the perpendicular and the parallel viewers.

Move the mouse to the slice intersection to enable the translation mode (translation icon). Drag the mouse inside the viewer to translate the image and change the image center point.

Move the cursor to the periphery of the viewer to enable the rotation mode (rotation icon). Drag the mouse to rotate the image data around the center point of the viewer. The parallel and horizontal reslice viewers are linked to the perpendicular reslice viewer, so they translate/rotate together.

Click Edit axis calibration icon again or press [A] to finish the action.

The set rotation axis is saved for each tooth position.
