Honestly, if I had to work as hard to find work arounds for everyday cases as finding ways to use the software for things it wasn't designed for I wouldn't use it. I have enough problems to solve.
Hugh? It's kind of a no brainer if you getting a trios!
Dicom reader to read CBTC scans is currently available.
Yes, but that doesn't give me the same options as full on planning software. I have thought about getting the dicom viewer to import my plans and see about making guides with the bite splint module.
You import the Dicom into your CAD software and overlay your model and face scans etc. and plan whatever you want. Guides for now you have to do conventional. Exoplan is what you want - not yet available. Apparently it will be ready end of the year. Yes I have Dicom viewer but have only used it twice. Not on actual patient cases. Still learning here with limited time to play. I am combining it with Face Hunter to mesh match model scans with the Dicom images. Have not been confident enough to do a case yet.
No Dicom only gives you x-ray and image to render in 3 D or stl. - Exoplan is implant software that is not available yet where you can see nerves etc. I match the dicom image with scanned model image to get tooth angles exactly like in the patients mouth. Wont even attempt a guide by using Dicom. In essence its only software to convert dicom format to stl. I'll be patient until year end. You will need Dicom reader to use Exoplan
I am going to wait on exoplan, I already have implant planning softwares. I like your idea of using Dicom viewer to match tooth axes.
