How can I plan anchor pins/fixation screws?

Planning of anchor pins/fixation screws is performed in the exact same way as of the regular implants. In the implant database, you will find the pins/screws by various manufacturers (the corresponding guide sleeves are usually preselected by the software).

How can I send an adjusted implant plan to SICAT?

To send an adjusted implant plan to SICAT, please follow the steps below.
1. Open the planning project
2. Perform your adjustments
3. Click on Manage plans (gears icon) in the "Plans" area and then Export plan
4. Note that for a plan change usually no optical impressions must be submitted and deactivate the selection here if necessary.
5. Select the desktop as storage location in the "Path" area and
6. Click on Export plan.

On your desktop screen you will subsequently find a zip-file (once you have activated the check box “Export to zip file” within the “Manage Plans” menu) which can be attached to an e-mail. Send the e-mail to [email protected]
(If you would like to submit optical impressions and/or volume data in special cases, please use the SICAT Portal).

Which data is exported into a plan?

By default, the zip-file exclusively contains the implant plan and no optical impression (regardless whether optical impressions were imported or not). You can uncheck the check box for optical impressions to keep the data volume small enough for an e-mail attachment.
