[QUOTE="2thm8kr, post: 330201, member: 1367"] Tooth Model Editor is software for making tooth libraries for C&B type restorations. There is a separate prosthetic tooth library software for the denture teeth libraries. I've made a couple of C&B libraries for exocad. It's a lot of work, at least a few days worth and mine aren't as dialed in as the ones that come with exocad. So between making those libraries and reading the instructions on making a prosthetic tooth library for exocad, I'd say monumental undertaking for sure. Not only will you need to scan all the teeth separately for each of the tooth cards, but you will also have to set up each arch with those teeth and scan it. So to save you from a long, hard, expedition into the belly of CAD. I learned that the typical denture teeth used in analog methods are not consistent enough to use in a CAD library and get predictable results. The tolerances of the molds used to manufacture analog method teeth are nowhere near what is needed for digital work flow. If you want to implement digital and use manufactured teeth, find teeth you like in digital libraries and purchase those cards. There are several companies making them now If you are hell bent on using the 4 you mentioned. You could go through the scanning of the cards, setting up the arches in occlusion and scanning those to make your own libraries for exocad. You will have to mill the teeth to get predictable results. You can customize the libraries to have scalable teeth or not. It is also possible to connect the teeth as a full arch or the front six and posterior quads or any combination you want to include all singles. I don't want to be discouraging. If you are the DIY type, do it. At least one library. It's a great learning experience and will give you insight into how the software works. [/QUOTE]
