See here for directions regarding Unite instead.

Prerequisites for the integration:

  • Dental Desktop 1.7.18.x or newer is installed. 
  • DTX Studio Clinic 1.8.12 or higher and DTX Studio Core 3.9.11 or higher.  NOTE: Clinic is an equivalent to the Dental Desktop Client and Core is an equivalent to Dental Desktop Server.
  • For the integration to work DTX Studio Core, DTX Studio Clinic, Dental Desktop Server, and Dental Desktop Clients need to run in the same LAN network. It is recommended to run a 3Shape "Full Setup".  Check with the person who set up your 3Shape products to ensure you have a "Full Setup".

NOTE: General port for the integration is 5484. Additionally, there are ports that are used by DTX client-server installation; by default, it's 33000.  Check with your local IT specialist if this was modified.

3Shape TRIOS on Dental Desktop and DTX Studio integration enables DTX Studio to initiate scan capture with TRIOS which is then transferred back to DTX Studio.  Read more about DTX Studio here.  The integration consists of a part in Dental Desktop and a part in DTX Studio.

How to enable the integration

Check requirements (see Prerequisites above) and update your dongle and Dental Desktop if needed.

Open Dental Desktop, go to More > Settings > Software integrations > Connections > "Imaging systems" > DTX.

In the integration setup window, check the box next to "Integration".  Pairing will begin.

You have 30 minutes to open DTX Studio Core and complete the integration.  Open DTX Studio Core and select Devices > Virtual 3Shape Server > Complete Pairing.

Once completed, you will see the following statuses in DTX Studio Core and 3Shape Unite.
