Denture Design
Completing the digital circle
3Shapes new Denture Design software brings digital precision and effciency to a traditionally technique
demanding process. By combining the fexibility of 3Shapes Smile Composer with the unique Gingiva
Creation Tool, technicians can model highly esthetic and functional dentures while signifcantly shortening
the design step. Patent pending.
3Shapes Denture Design widens the business possibilities
for a traditional and widespread dental indication. The digital
process allows denture production to be faster and easier than
ever before while introducing new levels of esthetics and func-
tionality.
The denture design workfow intuitively mimics the familiar
manual steps including setting occlusion, modeling gingiva de-
sign, placing teeth, and making fne adjustments such as bite
height and more.
Technicians can take full advantage of Dental Systems palette
of design tools, including Smile Composer, free-form sculpt
tools, and Dynamic Virtual Articulation, to design the complete
denture and make all the necessary adjustments for optimal
occlusion, esthetics and functionality.
3Shapes Denture Design supports both dentures based on
fxed size pre-manufactured acrylic teeth and dentures built
with customized individual teeth.

Dental Systems Smile Composer has been extended with
new features for the creation of functional and esthetic den-
tures. Quickly adjust all teeth, upper and lower as well as left
and right sides simultaneously, while preserving the correct
bite. Easily update your combined occlusion using virtual oc-
clusal plates. Finally, apply the Virtual Articulator to optimize
the dentures dynamic occlusion.
Easily establish occlusion
Occlusion can be established in two dif-
ferent ways depending on the case, or
preferred workfow. Scan the Wax Oc-
clusal Rim model to defne relative upper
and lower position and occlusal plane.
Alternatively, scan upper/lower models
separately and virtually bring them into
occlusion using fexible adjustment tools.
Design a perfect Gingiva with a few
clicks
Draw a line to defne the outer bound-
ary curve of the denture directly on the
scanned model on your screen. The sys-
tem automatically designs the gingiva
- perfectly shaped to ft the teeth. Apply
Dental Systems sculpt and edit tools
to easily add anatomical details to the gin-
giva with your own artistic touch.

Mimics familiar manual steps
In a single scan process 3Shapes scan-
ner rapidly captures the gypsum model
with high accuracy ensuring a perfect ft.
This is followed by a digital design pro-
cess that intuitively mimics the familiar
manual steps, including automatic block-
ing out of undercuts, design of retention
grid, connectors, lingual plates/bars, and
addition of clasps.
Design fnal denture frst
Dental System 2013 introduces a revo-
lutionary workfow where the fnal den-
ture, including teeth and gingiva, can be
designed before the removable partial
framework. Users visualize the fnal den-
ture while designing the framework, al-
lowing improved clinical results, reduced
manual post-processing and further im-
proved productivity. Patent pending.
