exhibitors Ortho Tribune U.S. Edition | May 17, 201512 By Ken Gladstone, Manager of software development, Dolphin Imaging Dolphin 3D Digital Study Model soft- ware lets you add digital study models to your Dolphin Imaging database. It works with all existing intraoral and study model scanners, but is the only system that seamlessly integrates with the CEREC Omnicam and CEREC Ortho Software from Sirona. Once your study model data is import- ed, you can: • Set occlusion and orientation • Display the models in various sur- face and volume views • Take various 3-D measurements • Available in the cloud A few frequently asked questions The only 3D data I work with is study models. Do I have to buy the whole Dol- phin 3-D package? No. The Dolphin 3-D Digital Study Model software is available as a separate, lower- cost product for those doctors who don’t require the entire Dolphin 3-D system. Whether you scan your models or take digital impressions, you can use the new 3-D study model software module to store these records within the patient’s chart. A patient CBCT is not required to store 3-D model data. How does the digital study model soft- ware product differ from the full Dolphin 3-D product? Full Dolphin 3D is a complete software suite, designed for doctors working with both DICOM volumetric data and STL/ OBJ surface data.  The Dolphin Digital Study Model system is a less expensive New software lets you add digital study models subset of full Dolphin 3D.  It does not support DICOM volumetric data; it only supports .STL and .OBJ surface data from intraoral scanners, digital impression- ing systems and 3D cameras. What if I buy this study model module and later want to upgrade to full Dolphin 3D? You can upgrade to full Dolphin 3D by simply paying the price difference be- tween the two modules. You won’t even need to install any new software — Dol- phin will simply deploy the upgraded license to you over the Internet. What do I need to buy to use this mod- ule? The Digital Study Model module can be purchased as a standalone or added to any existing 2D Dolphin Premium in- stallation. Beyond that, you simply need a computer that meets the minimum re- quirements listed on our website (www. dolphinimaging.com/3d), and a CEREC OmniCam or any intraoral or desk- top model scan- ner that exports .STL or .OBJ files. How does Dol- phin Study Model system operate differently with CEREC vs. other digital model systems? Dolphin plus CEREC equals one seam- lessly integrated system. A Dolphin user simply needs to create a Dolphin patient record, then select to capture a CEREC scan for that patient. That will automati- cally bring up the CEREC user interface, which will guide the user though scan- ning the patient’s teeth.  As soon as the user has finished scanning, the screen will return to Dolphin, with the scan already loaded.  And CEREC customers needn’t worry about .STL file format, or CEREC “lab” licensing — the CEREC data simply flows automatically into Dolphin. What if I want to share a patient’s re- cords to someone who doesn’t own Dol- phin? One of the big benefits of storing all of your patient imaging data in Dolphin is that you can either: A) Upload a patient to our secure Any- whereDolphin website and grant viewing access to whomever you choose; or B) Ar- chive the patient and share the file with whomever you choose. That person can then download and install our free Dol- phin patient viewer from www.dolphin- imaging.com/viewer and view the entire patient file.
