Overview

We are constantly updating and extending our approved denture tooth libraries for DentalCAD denture design. Click here to get an overview of denture tooth libraries and possible production options.

In the “Prosthetic tooth placement” step the sets of denture teeth available in the software are automatically compared with the values from the preceding model analysis.

Check how to set up the Denture teeth Library manager to download denture teeth libraries.

Denture Tooth Placement 1 3.2.png

The difference produced from the model analysis and the width of the sets of the denture teeth is given in mm and highlighted with coloured marking:

Green: suitable sets of denture teeth

Red: less suitable sets of denture teeth

This enables a quick, reliable selection of the sets of denture teeth. The software also provides a digital tooth mould chart to facilitate tooth selection. In addition to the description of the set of denture teeth, the dropdown menu [1] of the tooth selection also contains a preview of the respective mould Chart [2] which can be used to view the shape and size of the set of denture teeth. The respective mould Chart [3] is then faded in with further details by moving the mouse over the chart. The software automatically selects suitable sets of denture teeth using the Auto select button.
