Medit Compare, now called Medit Design, now has a boolean cut feature that lets you extract a temporary shell model from wax up or mock up model and prep model for easy and quick designs without painful margin marking on multiple units.

Many scanners limit the number of scans you can take on a patient.  This becomes cumbersome when you want to image pre-existing conditions, tissue scans for implantology, and other advanced needs

With version 3.0 in Meditlink software, launched in October of 2022, you can import or scan multiple models in the same patient chart

One of the most challenging designs to do chairside is the design of a multi unit temporary that needs to be printed. This is incredibly time consuming as you spent significant amount of time just marking margins on a dozen units.  With this technique pioneered by CAD-Ray you can bypass the margination step and design a large case in about a minute.

Medit’s software allows you to remove and pre-existing abutment and scan it outside the mouth. This allows you to find your margins without ever having to displace the tissue or reach hemostasis. Important matters to keep in mind with workflow

You must fill out the Rx form correctly and identify the abutment location
You must take the abutment scan at first in the right catalog box (upper jaw or lower jaw)
You must take the tibase / abutment outside the mouth and scan

It is a good idea to attach support pins to your models so labs don’t lose the vertical dimension and the protrusive position you captured
