exocad, an Align Technology, Inc. company and a leading dental CAD/CAM software provider, has announced the release of DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina, the latest version of its globally renowned CAD software for labs and full-service clinics. With more than 60 new features created to optimally fulfil customers' requirements, the software release offers new and improved workflows - from treatment planning to design and manufacturing.

DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina includes many time-saving features. The new preparation margin repair tool enables users to make the most out of imperfect intraoral scans - users can fix margins to get an acceptable result despite artifacts or holes in the scan. A new auto-articulator offers fully automatic consideration of dynamic occlusion. Also included is a new integration of compact milling machines. Users can select their preferred block and start production seamlessly from within their CAD software, and switch tooth libraries while keeping their previous setup.

New tools in the Smile Creator module bring users more predictability and better planning options. Users can now design virtual gingiva for more realistic outcomes and create smiles based on patients' natural teeth. The ability to adjust the 3D rendering to the camera's focal length enables a more precise photo-driven smile design.

With the Bite Splint Module in DentalCAD 3.2 Elefsina, users can now enjoy more automation in their bite splint design and save design time. The Full Denture Module includes a new feature to rapidly copy an existing denture in a highly automated workflow. This provides a faster and more cost-effective alternative to relining, leveraging recent advances in 3D printing. In addition, dentures on ball attachments are now supported. An add-on module for the Ivoclar Ivotion Denture System is now available as well, in conjunction with a dedicated tooth library, available from Ivoclar.
