DSD Upper & Lower

The DSD Upper & Lower is a digital wax up of the upper arch, designed considering a facially-driven, clinical and functional analysis of the patient.

The DSD Upper & Lower is the DSD main product option for more complex cases when you need to diagnose, plan, explain treatment and motivate patients.

It is ideal when you have a patient that requires significant rehabilitation, changes to the teeth position, where there is vertical dimension loss and it is necessary to treat both arches.

6 digital files:

• DSD Upper & Lower presentation: a powerpoint presentation, containing all the essential images of the DSD Upper & Lower, enabling you to understand what is needed to achieve a facially-driven, functional and harmonious smile for your patient

• STL File of the Upper Pre Treatment: the model of the actual situation of the patient overlapped with the DSD Upper, in which the original model is digitally untouched.

• STL File of the Lower Pre Treatment: the model of the actual situation of the patient overlapped with the DSD Lower, in which the original model is digitally untouched.

• STL File of the Upper Post Treatment: the model of the actual situation of the patient overlapped with the DSD Upper, in which the original model is digitally trimmed, so the simulation of the final outcome can be appreciated.

• STL File of the Lower Post Treatment: the model of the actual situation of the patient overlapped with the DSD Lower, in which the original model is digitally trimmed, so the simulation of the final outcome can be appreciated.

• STL File of the Motivational Mockup: the DSD Upper adapted over the model of the actual situation of the patient, so the design can be additive. This is the STL file you will use for the smile test drive, to help motivate and engage the patient.

Please note that the delivery of reports and files depends on the Planning Center's capacity, availability, and the specific product ordered.

For the correct execution of the design, we require the following information from your team:

Mandatory

1. DSD Photo Protocol (5 pictures) and Video
2. STL file of the upper arch, STL file of the lower arch and the correct bite registration.

Optional (but beneficial)

1. Bimaxillary CBCT in multi-slice DICOM format
2. A panoramic X-Ray, or periapical X-rays

This is one of the products that we call a “Pre-Case Acceptance Product” (Design, Plan and Motivate), which means it is one of the initial products that is mandatory for you to be able to request any subsequent product, which are the “Post-Case Acceptance Products” (Perform, Restore, Manufacture).
