Blue Sky Plan Manual

The automatic implant is added via the "Add Tooth" function in the Normal or Advanced module. By default, the "Automatically create AI Tooth" (1) tab is selected. Then choose the associated tooth from the preview (2) - the text description of the crown appears in (3). Then use the "Implant" checkbox (4) to enable the field with the implant parameters. By clicking the implant field (5), the "Add New Implant" dialog appears.

In this dialog, select the "Automatic Implant" (6) option which automatically selects a suitable implant from the selected manufacturer. It is possible to select an implant system from the catalog (7) by clicking the dropdown menu (note: it is important to have the relevant implant catalog package downloaded). The automatic implant option allows the "Implant Type" (8) to be chosen. The specific platform and implant (10) will be chosen automatically. "Implant Orientation" (9) cannot be changed because the implant is linked to the tooth that is selected in the "Add Tooth" dialog. To add an abutment to the automatic implant, switch to the "Abutment" tab (11). Automatic implant is selected by clicking the "OK" (12) button. "Custom Abutment" allows the individual parameters of the abutment to be changed. The size of the last implant used is displayed by default. By switching to the "Implant" tab for an automatic implant, the custom length and diameter will be set to 3x20 mm.

It is possible to see what kind of implant and abutment has been selected in the implant field (13). An automatic implant with an AI tooth will be added by clicking the "OK" (14) button. For automatic implant placement, it is necessary to introduce two control values, both found in Preferences > Surgical Guide. These values help set limitations and custom preferences for implant placement. The first control value, "Subcrestal Depth," measures the distance from the edge of the bone to the occlusal center of the implant's vertical axis. It is useful when the bone has an uneven crest shape. This allows the implant to be placed deeper into the bone. If the implant is not deep enough, it might end up too thin due to the bone crest shape restricting it. In such cases, the "Subcrestal Depth" can be increased to allow the implant to be placed deeper, thereby accommodating wider implants. The second control value, "Max Implant Width", is used to limit the width of the implant, ensuring it does not become too thick. Note: Automatic implants are only available when adding an AI tooth and if CT data are imported.
