NEMOCAST – PREPARATION OF THE CASE

After uploading the models, they will be opened by default in the program in
Preparation mode and we can easily identify this by the icon in the upper left-

hand corner .
The Preparation process will continue following the order of the upper menus
that appear when the case is opened: Orientation, Digital Bases and
Segmentation.

If the user imports a DICOM volume more options will be enabled in Orientation
menu.

Orientation

Orientation is the first step for treatment planning in orthodontics. There are
different opinions of the orthodontics for doing head orientation. This wizard
presents three different options to cover the most important ways of head
orientation:
 Import Models
 Occlusal adjustment
 Manual Orientation
 Photos Orientation

The Import Models panel will appear if a DICOM volume is loaded.


Importing a DICOM volume is not mandatory to plan an orthodontic treatment,
DICOM volume will be imported if the Doctor requires more information about
patient anatomy. If the Doctor considers a DICOM volume is not necessary,
then follow Manual Orientation and skip the next step: Import Models.

14/06/2023 User Guide NemoStudio Ed.23.0 204 of 656


If Doctor needs to import a DICOM volume to add more information about
patient anatomy, the Doctor should save and close the current 3D document by

pressing
If Doctor does not close the document, NemoCast will show the message
below:

Then from the Apps button, Doctor should select NemoCast 3D Import Dicom
and follow the procedure to import a DICOM volume described below.

Import Models

The import of the models is at the first step of the orientation process. Digital
dental models give substantial information for the orientation process. They will
be imported and aligned on the skull of the patient. The models can be imported
following protocol below.

14/06/2023 User Guide NemoStudio Ed.23.0 205 of 656


In the following video, we can see all the steps of the Import Models panel:
Import Models Panel

In the image below, we can see the result of this panel:

Occlusal Adjustment

As we have explained previously, the correct thing is for the models to be


scanned in occlusion and when the program imports them, they appear in their
natural position.
Example of a case that requires the use of occlusal adjustment:

14/06/2023 User Guide NemoStudio Ed.23.0 206 of 656


If not, we can adjust it with the Occlusal Adjustment tab that includes the
Orientation Menu when the case requires it (otherwise, this tab will not appear).

In the Occlusal Adjustment tab, we will proceed to select the button Mark
points of the upper Model. The cursor will change shape to a cross and we will
proceed to mark the points that the upper view has in common (which does not
mislead us that the view in which the upper model is displayed is marked with
an I, for the lower model, in the corner lower left, since the program does not yet
have references and does not position it correctly) and the view in occlusion.
At the third point that we mark, the Adjust button will be activated and we will be
able to press it to make all the marked points coincide, thus assigning it a
position in space and a reference.
We will repeat the same operation with the lower model.
We can finish the adjustment with the automatic option Adjust by surfaces (you
just must click on it).

Manual Orientation

The Orientation Menu includes a tab entitled Orientation / VOI that will allow
us to place the models in the same position as marked by each of the views
(right (R), left (L), inferior (I) and anterior (A). In this way, the model will move
accurately and appropriately into the position marked further on, with the
positioning icons that will appear in the lower right-hand corner at the end of the
orientation process.

14/06/2023 User Guide NemoStudio Ed.23.0 207 of 656


In the following video, we can see how to do the Manual Orientation of the
Volume:
Manual Orientation Panel

Volume Resizing

In each of the views in this screen (Axial, Sagittal, Coronal and 3D) a blue
frame will appear, initially marking the edges of the maximum cube framing the
entire volume of the tomography. The aim is to reduce this cube, so that it only
contains the valid region for planning.

In the following video, we can see how to do the Resize the Volume:
Manual Orientation Panel

And the result of both orientation and Resizing in the image below.

Photos Orientation
Using the frontal, lateral and submentovertex photos as references the surgeon
can orient the head of the patient in the 3 planes of the space.
Click on the vertical option Photos Orientation and it will open a new panel to
the left of the screen:

To make a good Photo orientation, we can follow the steps of the next video:

Photos Orientation Panel

And the result of the photo orientation in the image below.

Digital Bases

The NemoCast program works with closed meshes, so if the model is open and,
therefore, the inside is visible, we must go to the Digital Bases Menu to
extrude it, namely, to cover it, or base it, to generate a base that not only serves
to close the mesh, but prepares the model so that it is more aesthetically
pleasing in order to show it in a lecture or a similar event.
The process of extrusion and basing is not an exclusive process, but both can
be carried out, if desired, but it is completely unnecessary since both perform
the same practical function, so it is more logical to not extrude it if it is going to
be based later. These processes not only close the mesh but can also help us
get rid of excess material if we do not previously edit the model.

Upper Model Fast Digital Base

The first active tab of the panel is Upper Model Fast Digital Base. In this tab,
we are forced to check the status of the mesh by clicking on Check to start the
process. To find defects, we will have to click on Repair and, if not, we can
move on to the next step that consists of clicking on the Draw Contour button
and using the left-click in a counterclockwise direction to mark points on the
model of the region which we want to work on in order to dispense with the
surplus material that does not provide any information.

Segmentation

Teeth to segment
The third menu of the preparation phase is Segmentation. After having
extruded or based the model we will go to this option to separate the teeth from
the gums and to make movements in the teeth on which we will develop a
treatment plan in the Planning phase.
The Teeth to segment section will be displayed in the panel shown in the left-
hand side margin.

In the following video, we can see how to segment the teeth:

Mockups
The aim of this functionality is to generate a mockup with the prosthesis (virtual
teeth) planned in the previous step since it is useful to show a patient the final
result before the treatment.

To design a mockup there are some important steps to follow:


 Selection of the arch and the teeth in the dental chart. Inferior and
superior arch must be tagged with Lower model and Upper model labels
in the mesh list. A dental chart shows activated teeth which will be
allowed to be selected.
 Joining the teeth as a unique mesh.
 Add base plate mesh that will be joined after with the teeth.
 After adding all the teeth into the 3D view and a baseplate, a mockup will
be generated.

● Activate: system calculates the border of the biomodel.
● Mark on model: mark the cut line of the aligner on the exported
biomodel.
● Repair Surface: this option allows the repair of the biomodel.
● Global: this option is checked to set the same parameters to all.
● Custom: this option is checked to customize the parameters of the
current aligner from step.
● Offset: if Offset parameter changes, then the system calculates the new
border with offset.
● Stiffness: If Stiffness parameter changes, then the system calculates a
new border smoother.
● Apply to all: after pressing this button, all the defined parameters are
applied to all selected steps.

At the Aligners section, the user checks the Activate option, modifies
Thickness of the biomodel and its Offset.

This panel would imply the direct export of the aligner without having to go
through the intermediate step of generating the biomodel when technology
allows it.
 Show target: this option allows you to create a three-dimensional mesh
to display the aligner.

Export
In this last step we will tell the program where to export the generated models.
The process to configure exportation contains eight sections. Each section is
described below.

To begin the process of exportation, click on this icon , located next to the
Path field and choose the location in the displayed search window.

As you will see, there is a box under the Path field that is marked by default and
is entitled Label as folder name and, if checked, creates a folder in the
indicated file path with the name chosen for the identification label engraved in
the model.
When options are selected, they performed the following:

 Exp. Upper: allows the biomodels of the upper arch to be exported.


 Exp. Lower: allows the biomodels of the lower arch to be exported.
 Repair biomodels: when exporting the models, if there were isolated
elements not touching the main model (often called islands), they are
removed from the exported model.

Setup elements section:

14/06/2023 User Guide NemoStudio Ed.23.0 257 of 656


 Export Gums: by selecting this check, the program allows us to export
gingiva meshes which correspond to each step selected at 1. Choose
the steps section. To proceed with exportation, you should check the
Export gingiva option and press the Build Biomodels button.
 Export Teeth: by selecting this check, the program allows us to export
all teeth from each step selected at 1. Choose the steps section. To
proceed with exportation, you should check the Export teeth option and
press the Build Biomodels button.
 Export passives: checking this option the software generates a
biomodel for the final step from Setup at both arches.
 Export retainer: checking this option the software generates a
biomodel for the arch which does not contain any movement, sometimes
at the beginning of treatment an arch starts to move teeth but the other
one does not do it, then a biomodel of the arch without movements can
be exported using this option.

Attachments section:

 Add Attachments: this option should be checked if the case has


attachments in order for them to be exported correctly.
 Inter-step Gap: allows to leave a larger gap for the attachment
considering the movement of the next step.
 Insertion Deform: deforms the attachments in the direction of insertion
that has been set in the configuration panel. It is used to make the
aligner 'fit' more easily into the patient's arch.
 Insertion Factor: controls how much the attachment deforms in the
insertion direction.

Brackets and Jigs section:

14/06/2023 User Guide NemoStudio Ed.23.0 258 of 656


 Export Brackets: this option is marked when an indirect Bonding has
been carried out since only with this operation allows us to export the
initial models with the brackets added to the models. If we mark the
Show box, we will view them in the model.
 Export Jigs: if the Export Jigs box is selected, the generated models
will have the embedded jigs in which the brackets will be embedded
when the model is printed in 3D. If we mark the Show box, we will view
them in the model.
The Load Jigs option does not imply their export if we do not check the
Export Jigs box, which will be enabled during their prior upload.
 Load Jigs: this button is pressed when indirect Bonding has been
carried out but there is a preference to work with the jigs instead of with
their corresponding brackets. The selection of the jigs is carried out with
the same procedure as that for choosing the brackets, that is to say, by
pressing this button a familiar window will appear, in which we will
choose which particular manufacturer and model we want to use.

The jigs will be added to the model.

Export Mockups section

 Mockups Prosthesis: pressing this button, all the prosthesis mockups


will be exported.
 Mockups Setup: pressing this button, all the prosthesis setup will be
exported.

Export Biomodels section

In this last section, the process itself of generating and exporting models is
carried out:
 Export Biomodels: produces all the models specified with the selected
options and stores them in the folder whose name is the label assigned
in step 5 and whose location is the one assigned in the File Path field in
step 1 of exportation panel.
 Export Teeth button: by pressing this button, the program allows us to
export only the clinical crowns of the teeth that have been segmented.
Then, only teeth from the first setup step will be exported.
The result obtained when exporting models with attachments, with brackets or
with jigs is a file in a standard 3D format, with a STL extension, for each of the
models, which can be viewed with any STL viewer and that can be uploaded in
any 3D printer for printing and subsequent plastic thermoforming in order to
create the aligner that the patient will wear in their mouth.
