Owing to the eyewear marker, DSS is able to automatically align the two images and to guide the design. This particular calibration system per- mitsuserstostudythemorphologyofthepatient’s face and to acquire very reliable measures in order to facilitate the work of both the dentist and the technician (Figs. 1–3). The mathematically controlled algorithms of the prosthetic tool for edentulous patients allow DSS to suggest the most suitable commercial dental library to be used (Figs. 4–7). In this first phase, digital dentistry and, more specifically, the clinical use of DSS represents an incredible advantage for the planning of both the work and the information flow.

After completing the pre-visualization, the dental arch was prepared for transfer to the CAD system. Owing to direct integration with Dental- CAD (EGS), DSS can automatically export compat- ible 3-D output to support modelling in the CAD environment (Figs. 10–13). Once the aesthetics have been defined, the workflow moves to acquisition of the 3-D data Fig. 18Fig. 17Fig. 16 Fig. 15Fig. 14Fig. 13 Fig. 12Fig. 11Fig. 10 Fig. 8 Fig. 9bFig. 9a CAD0115_28-31_Rossi 02.03.15 12:48 Seite 2 CAD0115_28-31_Rossi 02.03.1512:48 Seite 2
