Measurement

Turn on measurement, then click two points on the bone, the implant or a screw. Distances are in millimetres, on the manufacturing meshes.

Implant section in blue, bone section in ochre. Models simplified for the web: measurements are indicative; the reference dimensions are those of the design file.

Reading the case

What the model shows

The defect crosses the midline: the implant restores both frontal contours and their junction. The shape is designed on the patient’s anatomy, with no single healthy side available to mirror.

What to look at in the viewer

  1. 01Front view: symmetry of the two frontal contours.
  2. 02Sagittal plane on the midline: restored frontal profile.
  3. 03Implant moved away: bilateral extent of the defect.
