In this article, we will go over sending a Partial Denture Case to the 3Shape Design Service Platform for design.
Case Creation and Submission
The order is created using the 3Shape Dental System.
•We can design in Dental System Version: 2021 - 2025.
•Example of Order Set Up
Object type in 3Shape order form:
Important:
• For every partial replacing a single tooth, the gingiva option needs to be set up as a base with designed teeth.
• All the adjacent teeth to be replaced must be bridged.
• Each tooth selected in the order will be replaced in the design; if a tooth is in the scan, it will be removed by default. You must include the correct material in your order setup, or the case will be placed on HOLD.
Steps for uploading your case to the Platform:
1. Once your order is set up and the case has been created, click the 'Upload to 3Shape Design Service' button.
2. The 3Shape Design Service Extension will redirect you to the Design Services portal, where you can log in. ( https://design.3shape.com/signin )
Provide the additional information needed on the 3Shape Design Service Portal:
•Name: Enter the name of the patient or pan/chart number in the name field.
•Turnaround time: It will be predefined to 24 hours.
•Additional Case Comments: You will need to fill in instructions that aren’t covered in the design guide selections.
•Require Design Approval: If you are using a third-party manufacturing option, please check this box if you want to review and approve the files before they are sent to the manufacturer.
Case Instructions:
•Design Type: Select "Partial Denture".
•Arches: Click on the "Arches" button to select upper, lower, or both.
•Design Guide Codes: Since we have design centers across the globe, typed instructions don’t always translate to what you are looking for. Our goal is to give you back your orders correctly the first time, so we created what we call design guide codes.
•Destination: Select the manufacturing destination.
