In this article, we'll guide you on what to consider when designing a denture to ensure successful calculation and milling.
Ideally, you should only load and calculate the denture. However, due to missing metadata, certain properties may need to be defined manually.
To do this, we'll navigate to the assistant and check if the correct object type has been selected.
In this case, it would be "Full Upper Denture" or "Full Lower Denture".
As the next step, you can optionally input the object properties that will help in the automatic detection of the correct blank.
(Personally, I always verify if the perspectives are correctly set under the "Main Direction" and "Occlusal" tabs.)
Next, we'll move to the boundary curves and ensure that the tooth pockets are defined correctly and that a boundary line (coping) exists.
Now, onto the most crucial point, the feature curves.
Here, we need an Arch curve (occlusal) and an Alveolar ridge curve (basal side) defined by 3 points. If the curve needs repositioning, you can simply place new points.
If you choose to mill the work wet, you can change the strategy from DRY to WET in the object properties.
Now, you can calculate the job.
Additionally, you'll find a brief explanatory video attached for reference.
