All Up In Yo Business: Incorporating a Flipper on a Legacy 2 Digital Guide Case

Aka the lazy dentist’s bio copy, this is a way of taking the image of the patient’s flipper and getting it into Galileos.  This patient came to me wearing a flipper and 8-10 previously grafted.

Rather than imaging the mouth without the flipper, I imaged with.  Instead of selecting 7-10 I just picked one tooth and drew a margin anywhere on the model.  We get two things as an SSI file: a proposal and a model. In this case I don’t want the proposal but I do want the model.

Although we don’t get the benefit of turning our proposal off and on, I was able to get 3 implants planned with one SSI import.

Implants placed, smooth surgery.
