Support for Planmeca Emerald™

Planmeca PlanCAD® Easy is now also the official software for the Planmeca Emerald™ intraoral scanner.

Speed upgraded for Planmeca PlanScan®

• Scanning with the Planmeca PlanScan® intraoral scanner is now much faster than before
• Contact your local dealer to update your Planmeca PlanScan

Dim mode

• Improves the scanning of bright surfaces in the mouth and on models
• Especially suitable when scanning e.g. gold restorations or bright white stone models
• When using Planmeca Emerald™, the dim mode is activated from a switch
• When using Planmeca PlanScan®, the mode is activated by holding the scanner over the surface before hitting the dim mode button
  – this will allow it to adjust the intensity

Active filtering tool

• Allows removing unwanted data that was scanned accidentally
• There are two ways to activate the active filtering tool:
  - The first way is to click the trash can icon just above the scanner icon in the lower left corner of the software’s interface – this works with both scanners
  - The second way is to press and release the Planmeca Emerald™ scanner’s bottom button while the scanner is active
• Once the active filtering mode is active, unwanted data can be removed by hovering the scanner over the desired area for 2–3 seconds

Snapshot function

• Allows pictures of the live scanning view to be captured by hitting the Tab key
• The perfect tool for documentation and communication
• All captured images are stored in the Planmeca Romexis® 2D module

Dynamic bite alignment function

• Allows automatic alignment of models when scanning the buccal bite – bringing each model into the live view when alignment occurs
• Users can see when alignment is done, which saves time

Bite refinement tool

• Allows users to refine the current bite and helps to determine the need of a buccal 2 scan
• The tool can be accessed from a button on the bottom of the scan page while scanning the buccal bite

Occlusal contacts heat map and prep clearance

• Provides an indication of the distance between arches in the align buccal option
• Occlusal reduction is indicated by the cursor when it is moved over the preparation in the align buccal option

Bilateral bite scan option

• The new bilateral buccal bite scan (Buccal 2 scan) option is now available for when an additional bite segment is needed to refine the bite
• Allows more accurate bite alignment in full arch scans

Restoration positioning for Vita ENAMIC multiColor™

• The chroma and translucency of the restoration can now be modified in the mill tab

Implant workflow for abutment design

• The new software version enables designing implant abutments chairside in Planmeca PlanCAD® Easy and later on also milling of abutments with Planmeca PlanMill® 40 S
  (when materials from the manufacturer become available)
• By using a Ti-Base connector, you can create one-piece screw-retained hybrid abutments and hybrid abutments with cemented crowns
• Supported brands at the moment:
  - Astra
  - Biomet 3i
  - Nobel Biocare
• Elos Accurate® Scanbodies are used to determine the exact position, angle, and rotation of an implant
• Ivoclar e.max and Telio blocks with holes are used for milling with Planmeca PlanMill 40 S
• The blocks can be ordered later on once made available by the material manufacturer
• It is possible to send scans to dental laboratories for designing and manufacturing custom abutments
