Working with Copy Options in Dental Manager

There are several options for copying an order in Dental Manager. All options are available by right-clicking an order and selecting "Copy".

Standard Copy

This option creates a copy of the order, including all files and settings from the original order.

• If the original order is in the Designed state, the copied order will be in the Scanned state.
• The file "DentalDesignerModellingTree.3ml" is also copied, allowing the original design to be recreated if needed.

Copy and Reuse CAD Design

This option allows reuse of previously created CAD designs from Digital Temporaries and Diagnostic Wax-ups.

Step 1: Right-click the original designed order.

Step 2: Select "Copy", and then choose "Copy and Reuse CAD Design".

Step 3: A new order is created with the Wax-up/Pre-preparation scan option enabled.

Step 4: Scan the new order or import a preparation scan. During scanning, the system prompts you to align the new preparation scan with the original scan.

Step 5: Open the new order and go to the "Smile Composer" step.

Step 6: Select "Smile Library" and choose "Provider", then select "Reuse original teeth" to apply the original tooth setup to crowns and pontics.

Copy and Append CAD Design to Preparation Scan

This option attaches an existing design to a scan and creates a new order where the original scan is combined with the existing design. This allows a new design to be created on top of the existing data.

Append Design for Reuse (Abutment Cases Only)

This option is used for abutment cases where implant positions remain unchanged between orders.

Step 1: Create and design Order #1 with a customized abutment (with or without a superstructure).

Step 2: Create Order #2 with a customized abutment in the same position as Order #1.

Step 3: Right-click Order #2, select "Copy", and then choose "Append Design for reuse".

Step 4: Select Order #1 from the list of available orders.

Step 5: In Order #2, during the "Parametric Design" step, choose the option to reuse the design from Order #1.
