Auto Plan

This functionality may not be regulatory cleared, released or licensed for sale in all markets. 

To let the software generate an initial implant plan for a single tooth or two neighboring teeth, make sure the intraoral scan has been fused with the 3D X-ray (See SmartFusion). 

Note 

The auto-plan action requires the patient to have at least three teeth. However, the solution is specifically designed and optimized for a single implant, as well as for two neighboring implants or a bridge on two neighboring teeth.

On the Plan toolbar, click Auto Plan.

Note

After aligning an intraoral scan with the 3D X-ray, a tooltip invites you to create an implant plan. Click Auto plan to start planning.

Missing teeth are selected by default for a virtual teeth and implant. If the suggested setup is correct, proceed with the calculation. Otherwise, adjust the selection of tooth positions that you want to modify:

Right-click a tooth to select Create virtual tooth, Plan implant initial position or Extract tooth.

Select your preferred implant family. By default, the last used implant family will be selected. The algorithm will select the best implant size for the specific tooth location.

Note

To manually adjust the detected scan range, click Edit upper scan range or Edit lower scan range, depending on the setup. Then use the white handles on the tooth chart to adjust the range. Click Save.

Click Next.

Check if all teeth are correctly indicated. If needed, click Indicate teeth manually to correct the tooth positions. Click Finish.

Virtual teeth and implant initial positions are being calculated and shown in the scene. On the smart panel an implant is labeled Auto, until its position is adjusted. 

Note

The algorithm is designed to reduce both the time and the number of clicks required to create a digital dental implant plan. This algorithm is based on crown-down implant planning using virtual tooth setup, combined with several anatomical considerations or constraints, to define the initial position of an implant. 

To adjust the position of the planned implant, drag the implant in the scene:

inside the bounding box to translate the implant

outside the bounding box to rotate the implant.  

On the Adjust smart panel, select Lock position during recalculation to keep the selected implant on this position when clicking Recalculate implant positions for Implant Plan, for instance when the position of a virtual tooth was moved or another implant brand was selected.
