Delcam, a UK company, is set to preview DentCAD, a new computer-aided design program for the dental industry, at the Dental Technology Show to be held in Coventry, UK on 9th and 10th May. On its release later this year, DentCAD will bring to the industry the benefits of speed and accuracy given by CAD software in many other sectors. It will be able to be used for the fast, reliable creation of dental restorations, including copings, crowns and bridge frameworks.
The key benefit of DentCAD is that is extremely easy to use and so is ideally suited to dental technicians that have no previous experience of computer-aided design. The whole process is based on a series of “Wizards” that guide the user through the entire design process.
A wide range of visualization tools are available at every stage, including sectioning, shading and transparency options that allow detailed inspection of the shape being developed. This ensures that the results are exactly as required by the patient.
The system is also very flexible, so allowing different design options to be developed and compared. For example, key parameters like the margin line and the cement thickness can be varied and the computer model will automatically update to reflect the changes. In addition, sculpting tools let the user add or subtract material interactively, while the dynamic editing tools allow the complete model to be reshaped quickly and effectively.
DentCAD offers levels of speed and accuracy that are impossible to achieve with manual methods. Complete restorations can be designed within minutes of importing the scanned data. The complete design can then be supplied to DentMILL or another machining program for the manufacture of the item.
