didex from dentona: The digital path to the printed model

didex from dentona: The digital path to the printed model

The stand-alone software didex from dentona combines the proven precision of PINDEX model production with the possibilities of the digital workflow. As a manufacturer-independent solution, the software works with all common input and output devices and can be flexibly integrated into existing laboratory structures. The software is constantly being expanded and has recently received some interesting updates.

Several workflows - one software: didex covers the entire spectrum of modern model fabrication and adapts to the requirements of different laboratory situations. A clear wizard guides you through the individual process steps and enables the reliable fabrication of different model types - from classic PINDEX models to complex implant restorations. The PINDEX workflow follows a clear structure:

  • Digital preparation with import of the scan data and preparation of the dental arch
  • Precise realisation using the 3D printing process
  • Manual finalisation and base in plaster

Efficient order management

The sophisticated order management system allows the creation of different model types and user profiles with customised default settings. A powerful database with search filters enables clear categorisation by model type, customer or technician. Penetration reports can be exported as PDF files for documentation purposes, which serve as a precise grinding aid.

Versatile design options

didex offers extensive options for model design. External STL designs can be easily integrated and combined with the existing geometries. The system also enables the adaptation of wax layers for additional design options. The software supports various types of model design, e.g.

  • Socketed models with customised split-cast geometries
  • Precise hollow models with a stabilising honeycomb structure
  • Special orthodontic model variants
  • Complex implant models with gingival masks

The implant module has been optimised for the requirements of modern implant prosthetics. It allows the simultaneous processing of upper and lower jaw models as well as the customised design of emergence profiles. A continuously growing implant database supports various systems and is regularly expanded.

Precise die processing and soft tissue design

The die edging was designed with practicality in mind. It enables the direct import of preparation margins from exocad as well as the detailed transfer of markings. An automatic chamfer function supplements the processing options and ensures reproducible results. The software offers special functions for designing gingival masks. The generated gingival masks have a flat underside, which ensures reliable 3D printing. The adjustable offset allows precise adaptation to different printing systems and materials.

Integration of dentobase

The "dentona dentobase" system significantly expands the possibilities in model fabrication. Various splitcast geometries can be flexibly adapted to different plate systems. Splitcast models are possible on dentobase plates in two different sizes. Articulation supports with adjustable offset are available for precise alignment, either in metal or as an external variant. Bites can be exported and printed as STL files.

Future-orientated system solution

The combination of didex with the optiprint family (3D printing resins from dentona) forms a sophisticated system for digital model production. The optimised digital workflow reduces manual work steps while remaining compatible with existing laboratory environments. Regular software updates and the continuous expansion of functions ensure the future viability of the investment. The combination of precise software and harmonised printing materials guarantees reproducible results in the usual quality. This enables laboratories to gradually and securely expand their digital processes.
