AI automatically detects and displays the abutment tooth, tooth notation, and margin line. It also detects missing teeth that can be connected as a bridge. For modification methods, refer to 🔗Margin Line.

Caution

Verify whether the detected abutment tooth, tooth notation, and margin line are accurate. If necessary, manually modify them.

The detected missing area center point can be adjusted by dragging it with the mouse.
