Exocad Mac
Thora Buckner
The integration of digital dentistry has reinvented the workflow between clinics and dental laboratories.
exocad has become an indispensable tool that allows me to plan and design my cases. Its communication features provide additional value when it comes to making important decisions, as I can access the virtual patient in my Smile Design projects.
When we went digital with exocad we had no prior CAD/CAM experience, and got fully up to speed with CAD/CAM in just a few days. exocad for us was, and still is, very straightforward and user friendly.
When we first started working with exocad, we already had longterm experience with other popular dental CAD programs. Despite diving into the exocad experience with no training, we found we were able to design crowns and bridges that very same day. Five years and several thousand designs later, we have come to the conclusion that exocad can handle almost any case we throw at it!
Thanks to its intuitive user interface, you can work on any design without the need for extensive training, and its flexibility facilitates the design of even the most exceptional cases with ease. Every new feature exocad has provided over the years offers new possibilities and tools for handling every conceivable scenario, quickly and with no fuss.

In the USA, dental abutments are regulated devices by the FDA and require a 510(k) clearance to be legally marketed.

In our last article we opened the CADdent ring and let two digital manufacturing processes speak for themselves with LaserMelting vs. Milling. In the second round, the two leading CAD / CAM systems in the dental industry will compete for you and measure themselves against various criteria. 3Shape or exocad, who will take home the win?
If you trawl through the various dental forums and groups, it is often said that it is a matter of taste who prefers which system. And our experts see it that way too. While 3Shape is intuitive to use and guides the user very closely, exocad leaves more creative freedom and the opportunity to try things out for yourself.
The question of which system you learned with, what you are used to (that is, what you are prepared for ) often plays a role.
When it comes to handling, the question of whether to use 3Shape or exocad is a matter of taste and a question of belief, similar to that of whether Apple or Android.
Both 3Shape and exocad offer stl data output. This means that with both systems you are free to choose your partners and manufacturing service providers. Even if the compatibility between 3Shape's own products is higher, third-party products can be used. Only the use of the scanner is predefined with the 3Shape software, while you only get the software from exocad itself and the scanner depends on your sales partner.
With both 3Shape and exocad, the support is provided by the reseller from whom you purchase the scanner and software. The quality of the service does not depend on the system, but on the sales partner of your choice. If you are no longer satisfied with this over time, there is the possibility to change it, although rather time-consuming.
When it comes to training and courses, 3Shape is ahead of the game, at least as far as the obvious is concerned, because 3Shape offers many case studies, blog posts and on-demand webinars on its platform, the "Online Learning Hub". In addition to this content, which users can view independently, 3Shape offers virtual classes in small groups of up to 6 people and individual training.
exocad itself does not offer training courses. As with the purchase of software and devices, this option is available through sales partners who are (partially) certified for exocad training.
All in all, our experts are of the opinion that both systems have their pros and cons, that it is a matter of taste and belief as to which system is better. So this time, no one will step out of the ring as a clear winner.
It is important that you know the requirements in your laboratory and select the system that suits your requirements.
We at CADdent work with both systems in order to be able to optimally exploit the respective advantages. If you have any further questions about the systems, you are welcome to contact us at any time, our experts are always available as sparring partners!

The included TruSmile module, on the other hand, provides near-photorealistic rendering of dental restorations in real time during the design process, making it a powerful marketing tool for dentists using chairside CAD/CAM systems, for example to convince a patient to opt for a ceramic restoration instead of a metal crown.

Digital dentistry has revolutionized the way dental professionals offer solutions to patients, thanks to innovative advancements. Digital workflows streamline traditional dentistry processes, enabling dental professionals to respond more effectively to patient needs.
The transition into digital dentistry requires dental practices to invest significant time, effort, and training for the shift. But, it is a worthwhile endeavor that allows for optimized turnaround times, higher patient satisfaction rates, and faster production of dental products.
Owing to this benefit, Evident Digital dedicates its efforts to catalyze the digital transformation of dental practices, fostering efficient use of both dental equipment and software.
