Blue Sky Plan Manual

Adjust the panoramic curve to fit the patient's arch as described in section 4.6. Click on the "Add Nerve" button either located in the icon bar or under the "Tools" option in the menu bar (1). The Nerves panel (2) will appear and show the default properties for the nerve (3). Click on portions of the nerve in the panoramic window and follow the canal to the mental foramen. When entering nerve points, the position of the slice can be changed with the scroll bar on the right side of the window, and the last-added point can be removed with the "Edit > Undo" action. You can fine tune the buccal/lingual aspect by adjusting the nerve point in the cross-sectional view later. Add another nerve by clicking the "Add Nerve" button (4) on the Nerves panel, and repeat on the other side. All images should show the nerve with a default diameter in yellow.

It is also possible to add a nerve by clicking the "Detect Nerve" button, where a whole nerve canal is added by clicking inside the mental foramen in the corresponding slice of the cross-sectional view. You can also use the fully automatized nerve detection by clicking the button "Autodetect Nerves".
