Adding a Sleeve
Workflow to add a sleeve in coDiagnostiX
Click in the object tree or directly in the view to select the implant you want to add a sleeve to.
Click on the "Edit sleeves" button in the workflow area of the toolbar to open the "Sleeve" dialog box.
Not all sleeves are compatible with all implants. CoDiagnostiX will list all sleeve systems which are compatible with the selected implant. Choose the sleeve system you want to use:
CoDiagnostiX displays all the parameters which are relevant for the selected sleeve system. Adjust the parameters directly in the dialog box.
Any changes can be visually checked in the illustration on the right side.
Use the arrow buttons to switch the the next implant.
You can now close the dialog box.
Adding sleeves to more thant one implant:
Select a group of implants or a category instead of an individual implant and floow the procedure above. Only those sleeve systems will be available which are supported by all of the implants. The selected sleeve system is added to all implants within this group or category. Adjust the parameters for each sleeve.
Editing the sleeves
Right click on the sleeve in the object tree and select "Properties" from the context menu or use the sleeve tab in the tooth position panel:
Now you can select another sleeve system or adjust the sleeve parameters as desired.
In addition to this, the sleeve position can be modified interactively in the views or in the Sleeve dialog box.
Simply grab the sleeve with the mouse and move it as desired with the mouse button pressed. coDiagnostiX adjusts the sleeve position incrementally as defined for the respective sleeve system.
No adjustment will be possible if the sleeve system does not support several sleeve positions.
Sleeve calibration matrix
A sleeve calibration matrix allows for fine adjustment of lseeve offset values. It is usually used prior to surgical guide production to make allowances for specifics of the material and printing device actually used for production.
If required, you may generate and output a calibration matrix for a sleeve, even if the surgical guide has not yet been designed:
Right click on a sleeve in the object tree and select the "Save Calibration Matrix" from the menu.
Sleeve Parameters are displayed:
- directly in the sleeve dialog box
- in the sleeve tab of the tooth position panel
Changing the implant:
After changing the diameter, length or type of an implant, check if the initially assigned sleeve is still correct.
Removing sleeves:
Select the sleeve in the tree and click the trash button or re-select No sleeve system.
