8.6 Validating implants

All implants are validated on the background. That means that their positions with respect to each other and to the nerves are checked. If an implant is evaluated as invalid, a warning icon appears next to it. The first criterion considered is the distance between implants. If two implants are too close to each other, both are evaluated as invalid, which is represented by the appearance of icons over both implants.


Two implants too close together flagged as invalid

The second criterion is the angle between implants. If this angle is too large, the implants are again evaluated as invalid, despite the fact that they are relatively far apart. To fulfill the validation criteria, we must reduce the angle between the implants and, if necessary, to increase the distance between the implants again.


Implants flagged invalid due to angle between them

The third criterion is the distance from the nerve. The same considerations apply here as for the distance between implants. If you are not certain why the validation had failed, you may open a panel with the validation results via "Panels > Implant Validation". In this panel it is also possible to set the validation parameters (1). There is a list here of all invalid implants (2) and the reasons the validation of the selected implant failed (3). Note: pins are not validated either against themselves (or implants) or against nerves.
