Exocad Gingiva design

[aumc24]

Hey everyone, would LOVE some help with this issue in EXOCAD.
I am trying to design a flipper for a client and have gone through all the steps to create the case, design the individual teeth, and now into the gingiva design.
Here is the issue... I cannot get the gingiva to NOT go beyond the scan data. Essentially when I design the gingiva flipper the bottom portion of my gingiva is below the jaw scan.

Is there a setting I am missing that restricts this?

The best way to get around this so far is free forming the gingiva and removing it manually with the brush from the bottom up view. But this is both inefficient and not at all accurate.

Any help would be amazing!

P.S. If someone can tell me how to include a picture in here, please let me know and I will share screen shots.

Is the denture base extended outside and beyond the ends of the arch scan?

There is a checkmark in free form gingiva that you have to uncheck to go past the scan data

This is before freeformingis even attempted. And no it is all within the scan data area.

Are you designing this as a “digital waxup”?
If you are, then after you design the gingiva and the waxup is calculated , you’ll have another “free form” step. Go to the”adapt” tab and hit “basal” button. It will adapt it to the tissue.

Designing this as both a denture for one case and a partial denture as another.

I have not seen the adapt to basal button yet for the gingiva design yet. I have looked all over and have not seen that option.

what version are you using

 

[aumc24]

3.1 Rijeka with the partial cad module.

at what stage are you trying to cut the tissue - or freeform it down below the tissue?

if its in the Freeform stage i have to believe this is user ignorance, this whole area should automatically adapt to the tissue area AFTER the freeform unless theres a hole in the scan or a surfboard.

Are you talking about the intaglio surface? Its going to stay like that until you create the waxup. once you create the waxup it forms to the model.
