exocad Introduces DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina Software With More Than 60 New Features For More Automation And Speed

Posted on Thursday, December 21, 2023

New release offers more intuitive workflows from CAD to CAM


exocad, an Align Technology, Inc. company and a leading dental CAD/CAM software provider, today announced the release of

DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina, the latest version of its globally renowned CAD software for labs and full-service clinics. With more than 60 new features created to optimally fulfill customers’ requirements, the software release offers new and improved workflows - from treatment planning to design and manufacturing.

DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina delivers the exciting functionalities dental experts have been waiting for,” said Tillmann Steinbrecher, CEO of exocad. “The new release offers more automation, speed, and intuitive workflows from CAD to CAM.”

New features, more automation and seamless integration

DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina includes many time-saving features. The new preparation margin repair tool enables users to make the most out of imperfect intraoral scans - users can fix margins to get an acceptable result despite artifacts or holes in the scan. A new auto- articulator offers fully automatic consideration of dynamic occlusion. Also included is a new integration of compact milling machines. Users can select their preferred block and start production seamlessly from within their CAD software, and switch tooth libraries while keeping their previous setup.

Elevated Smile Creator for better visualization and pre-operative treatment planning

New tools in the Smile Creator module bring users more predictability and better planning options. Users can now design virtual gingiva for more realistic outcomes and create smiles based on patients’ natural teeth. The ability to adjust the 3D rendering to the camera’s focal length enables a more precise photo-driven smile design.

Improved Bite Splint Module and Full Denture Module

With the Bite Splint Module in DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina, users can now enjoy more automation in their bite splint design and save design time. The Full Denture Module includes a new feature to rapidly copy an existing denture in a highly automated workflow. This provides a faster and more cost-effective alternative to relining, leveraging recent advances in 3D printing. In addition, dentures on ball attachments are now supported. An add-on module for the Ivoclar Ivotion™ Denture System is now available as well, in conjunction with a dedicated tooth library, available from Ivoclar.

iTero-exocad Connector redefines seamless workflows

To improve collaboration between labs and doctors, clinicians can now share external case-related files like images, videos and X-rays with exocad DentalCAD users via the MyiTero™ portal. The new bi-directional case communication allows DentalCAD users to share their 3D designs with the doctor for an efficient preview-and-approval process. Within the CAD software, lab users can also validate margins with iTero intraoral camera images and visualize internal tooth structure with iTero NIRI (Near Infra-Red Imagery) technology.

Other major highlights of the DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina release include:

• Design post and core restorations so that a crown matching the core can be designed in the same step (beta)

• New Virtual Articulator support for Gamma Dental Reference SL, Kavo PROTARevo 5B, plus an anatomical “in-skull” articulator visualization

• An easier and more efficient process for titanium bases supporting variable screw channel angulation

exocad will offer hands-on demonstrations of the new DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina release at various upcoming dental exhibitions and at Insights 2024, the company’s global event, taking place May 9-10, 2024, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. The two-day event will include numerous opportunities for attendees to discover more about the latest Elefsina features from dental industry leaders and application specialists.
