1. AI-assisted

1.1 AI-assisted mode options

Set the design initiation state when entering Dentbird Crown.

1.1-a Margin line

AI-assisted detection of the margin line only.

1.1-b Margin line & Crown

AI-assisted generation of the margin line and automatic crown proposal.

1.1-c Margin line & Crown & Model

Full AI-assisted process including margin line detection, crown design, and model generation.

1.1-d Margin line Extension

When a positive (+) value is applied, the margin line shifts toward the occlusal surface for crowns, and contracts (moves inward) for inlays. When a negative (-) value is applied, the margin line shifts toward the gingiva for crowns, and expands (moves outward) for inlays.

  • Default: 0 mm

  • Minimum: -2 mm

  • Maximum: 2 mm

1.2 Customize AI Generation options

Set AI options that will be applied during crown generation.

1.2-a Adjust proximal contact

Toggle the adjustment of the contact distance with adjacent teeth on or off. When enabled, the AI generates the crown while adjusting the contact according to the preset distance.

1.2-b Occlusal adaptation

Toggle the adjustment of the occlusal distance with the opposing tooth on or off.

  • Cut: The crown is trimmed according to the preset distance from the opposing tooth.

  • Shape Preserving: The crown's shape is maintained as much as possible while adjusting it to the preset occlusal distance.

1.2-c Minimum thickness compensation

Toggle the minimum thickness compensation function on or off. When enabled, the AI ensures that the generated crown meets the minimum thickness requirement by compensating for insufficient areas.

2. Color

2.1 Mesh color

You can specify the rendering color for each data type in Dentbird Crown. This color is displayed only when the data has no texture or when the texture exists but is turned off.

3. Accessibility

3.1 Auto save

The case is automatically saved at regular intervals during the design process.

4. Tools

You can toggle the status of auxiliary tools when entering Dentbird Crown. Frequently used auxiliary tools can be kept open, while others can remain closed when starting the solution. Tools can be opened or closed at any time during the process as needed.

5. Design parameters

5.1 Preset list

Select a preset to modify, add a new preset, or change the order of the preset list.

5.2 Preset

Set the processing method, material, and parameters for each preset. You can also set the currently selected preset as the default or delete it.

A guide panel is displayed to assist with parameter settings. When selecting a parameter item, the corresponding area is highlighted for intuitive confirmation.

6. Bridge

6.1 Pontic base shape

When designing a bridge, you can set the default base shape of the pontic. Four base shapes are available: Modified Ridge-Lap , Conical , Hygienic , and Ridge-Lap .

The pontic in a bridge case is generated with the selected default base shape and can be modified in Outer.

6.2 Connector shape

You can also set the default cross-sectional shape of the bridge connector. Three shapes are available: Round , Triangular , and Inverted Triangular .

6.3 Connector size

Set the default horizontal and vertical dimensions of the connector.

6.4 Reset parameter settings

Restore the parameter settings to the default values provided by Dentbird.

7. Model Preset

The system provides options for the generation of a working model (cast).

7.1 Model type

The working model types are classified into three categories: extra die only, contact checking model, and bite checking model. Models are automatically generated according to the selected model type option.

7.2 Advanced settings

The system provides detailed setting options based on the selected working model type.

1. Extra die only

7.2-a Die numbering

This option specifies whether to display the tooth number on the die model. The tooth number is displayed on the body part of the die. The displayed tooth number follows the user's settings under Settings > System > Dental Notation.

7.2-b Die height

Set the height of the extra die. The height of the extra die refers to the distance from the lowest point of the margin line to the base of the die.

Range: 10.0 ~ 20.0 mm

*default: 13.0 mm

2. Contact checking model

7.2-a Select range

This option allows you to select the number of adjacent teeth to include for the reference tooth (or, in the case of consecutive teeth, the outermost teeth on both sides).

7.2-b Base

The base of the contact checking model is generated in a plateless form.

Base height option adjusts the height of the model. The model height is defined as the distance from the occlusal plane to the upper/lower base plane.

Range: 10.0 ~ 40.0 mm *default: 18.0 mm

  • Bevel: An option that generates a beveled shape on the bottom surface of the base.

  • Curved: An option that connects the gingival margin of the scan data to the base in a curved form.

7.2-c Structure

This option specifies the method used to fill the inside of the working model. Three types are available: Hollow, Honeycomb, and Solid.

When Hollow or Honeycomb is selected, the Wall Thickness and Drain Hole options are enabled.

  • Wall Thickness: Sets the thickness of the model. Range: 2.0 ~ 4.0 mm *default: 2.5 mm

  • Add Drain Holes: An option that generates drain holes in the base area of the model. The number of drain holes ranges from a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 8, and is determined proportionally according to the number of teeth included in the model, as follows:

Quick Guide

[ Automatic drain hole generation by number of teeth ]

4–5 teeth: 3 holes

6–7 teeth: 4 holes

8–9 teeth: 5 holes

10–11 teeth: 6 holes

3. Bite checking model

7.2-a Select range

When generating a bite checking model, this option sets the model generation range based on the position of the reference tooth (or, in the case of consecutive teeth, the outermost reference teeth on both sides). The available options are Partial and Full.
