🦷 Digitally scanning an edentulous arch β€” one of the trickiest but most rewarding parts of digital dentistry πŸ‘Š Looking forward to trying the MOD Institutes new retractors! Hey Wally Renne when will your retractors be available to buy?

With the right scan pattern, good soft tissue retraction, and a little patience, you can capture a clean, detailed scan that sets you up for success in Exocad, 3D printing, and digital denture design πŸ’»βœ¨

The future of prosthodontics is digital β€” and it all starts with mastering your intraoral scanner and edentulous workflows.

πŸ“Έ Scanner: [insert your scanner model, e.g., TRIOS 5]
πŸ’‘ Tip: Keep your motion smooth and follow a consistent scan path to minimize stitching errors.

πŸŽ₯ Digital Denture Workflow in Action!

After capturing the upper arch, it’s time to record the lower using a mush putty bite 🦷πŸ’ͺ β€” and here’s where the MOD Institute VDO Gauge really shines!

We lock in our Vertical Dimension of Occlusion (VDO) (remember, set it first and then subtract 4–6mm for freeway space πŸ‘Œ β€” thanks for the reminder, Wally!). Then, we guide the patient to bite into the putty until we hit that same precise reading on the gauge.

This step is key to making sure our digital mounting in Exocad is seamless and our 3D printed dentures have an accurate, functional, and natural fit.

Precision at every step β€” from digital records to final print β€” that’s what modern digital dentistry is all about.

🎯 Precision starts here! Using the MOD Institute VDO Gauge and Fox Plane, I’m refining this mush putty bite with a PVS light body wash β€” and no, this isn’t the final impression 😎

This step is all about accuracy and digital efficiency πŸ‘Š
The added PVS detail makes it way easier to digitally mount the case in Exocad, by giving me clear common reference points between the intraoral scan and the bite record.

This is where analog meets digital β€” and the result? Next-level precision for digital dentures, 3D printed restorations, and predictable occlusion setups πŸ”₯

🦷✨ Creating a new smile begins with the foundation β€” the right vertical dimension.

Before we even think about designing or 3D printing a denture, we need precision. Today we're using the MOD Institute VDO Gauge and Fox Plane to dial in facial harmony, function, and esthetics before we move into the digital workflow.

Huge thanks to the guys at the MOD Institute for all they do to share their knowledge and so many free resources such as this VDO gauge. If you are getting into this world of 3D printing and design check out their courses.

This is where analog mastery meets digital dentistry πŸ‘‡
βœ… Establishing proper facial proportions
βœ… Verifying occlusal vertical dimension
βœ… Aligning planes for esthetics & function
βœ… Preparing for a fully digital, 3D-printed denture workflow

When we get VDO right, everything else just works β€” from phonetics to bite to facial support. Elevating dentures isn’t magic… it's measurable.

Follow along as we blend high-tech + clinical artistry to deliver smiles with science & precision. πŸ–₯️🦷

When a patient walks in with no teeth or old dentures, the foundation of success starts right here πŸ‘‡πŸ¦·βœ¨

Before we ever design a smile, we gather perfect digital records β€” because in digital dentistry, precision is EVERYTHING.

For digital dentures, the combo of the Trios 5 intraoral scanner + the MOD Institute VOD Gauge & Fox Plane gives us next-level detail to lock in: βœ… Vertical dimension
βœ… Midline & facial planes
βœ… Esthetics & function
βœ… A blueprint for a digital smile that actually fits and feels natural

No more guessing. No more re-making dentures.
Just data-driven digital dentures and confident smiles. πŸ˜πŸ§ πŸ’»

This level of digital workflow is how we consistently deliver life-changing results β€” and why I love blending 3D scanning, digital prosthetics, CAD/CAM, and clinical art every single day.

FLOW

I love when I can get in that zone and just be hyper focused on what I am doing.

In this case it is attempting to craft a beautiful and natural smile for somebody who has not been smiling for many years.

If you see somebody wearing a mask, they may not be sick, they may not be avoiding sickness, they may be hiding... too ashamed to be seen.

I see it all too often, somebody who wears a mask to cover up their smile or their lack of teeth.

I love helping people take their mask off.

Smile!!!

STEP 5

Now you gotta move this analog part into the digital world.

Scan the jig 360Β°

Get really good intraoral scans with good retraction.

Once you have this scanned you can throw away the jig and we will move this data into exocad for planning.

The two photos, one retracted and then one smiling... But they CANNOT move between the two.

This is very important and sometimes takes a few shots to get it but it will make things easier in exocad if they are easy to overlay because the Dave didn't move.

STEP 4

Now to capture that vertical and lock it in with the lower jaw putty

Make a bolus of putty large enough to cover the patient's lower jaw.

Pack it tight onto the bite plate getting it to engage some with the upper putty and the holes in the bite plate.

Reposition the jig back in the patients mouth making sure you get it back in the correct position.

Then grab that VDO GAUGE that you have locked in (don't forget to have subtracted 4-5 mm for freeway space, right Wally?) and position it under their chin.

As you guide them into CR and have them slowly close until the upper arm touches under their nose.

Make sure they hold that position.

If needed, you can help mold the putty to adapt better to their edentulous arch.

Wait for the putty to setup and remove the jig.

Next will be to do digital scans.

STEP 3

Next we need to add some detail to the PVS putty.

This is NOT an impression!

This is just a jig we will use to set the vertical dimension in Exocad.

The detail achieved here will help pin the upper and lower intraoral scans together at the correct position.

This completes the upper.

Notice for this step we were able to remove the fox plane part of the first gauge.

This is just for the details, the rugae and unique anatomy of the patient.

STEP 2

Mix up some PVS putty and create a large bolus that you will place on the MOD Institutes Fox Plane Jig.

Get that placed in the mouth make sure to line up the fox plane just right.

Looking at the pupils and the midline.

Make sure you support the bolus under the palate.

It doesn't have to be airtight to the palate because the next step will get the fine detail.

I have had a lot of requests to share this workflow again.

This is the first and very important step in record taking for a digital denture.

This step is using The MOD Institutes VDO GAUGE to acquire a measurement to reestablish this patients vertical dimension.

Using the rule of facial thirds this gauge is set after measuring from the corner of the patients eye to the corner of their lip.

Then and very important (I didn't explain this well last time) you have to subtract a little from this measurement to allow for freeway space.

About 4-5 mm is sufficient.

Then you lock it in at that distance before taking the next step.

The next step will be in the next video.

The future is wide open.

So as you look forward to what is coming or what may be... don't forget to look back and see how far you have come!

See the things you have overcome!

See the person you were and how much you have grown and healed!
