The scan, far from the chair
The scan opens with the CBCT machine's own software, on the computer where it is installed, and not in the room where the patient is.
OCLÜ for implantologists: the scan, the plan and the quote on the patient record
OCLÜ is dental software that opens DICOM scans in the browser, rebuilds the panoramic and cross-sectional slices from a curve, shows the scanner models in occlusion, and connects the case to the odontogram, the treatment plan and the lab order.
What makes an implant case harder
Files all over the place
Scan, photos and scanner models end up spread between a USB stick, an email and a folder.
Long quotes by hand
Implant, abutment and crown, with deposits and instalments, get built on a separate spreadsheet.
An implant case in OCLÜ
You upload the scan
In the patient's media you upload the ZIP or the CBCT folder, up to 5 GB, along with the photos and the scanner models.
You go through the scan
You move through the axial view, adjust brightness and contrast, and measure distances and angles.
You trace the curve
You mark the arch or use the suggested curve. The multiplanar view shows the panoramic, the cross-sectional slices every 1 to 5 mm and the coronal. On the cross-section you measure height and width.
You plan on the odontogram
You mark implant, abutment and crown, and the treatment plan comes out of that planning.
Treatment plan and lab
The patient approves the treatment plan by email, with deposits and instalments, and the lab order goes out as a PDF by email.
What an implantologist uses in OCLÜ
DICOM viewer (Add-on)
The scan in the browser, with a multiplanar view, a 3D view and a PDF report of the slices.
Media and 3D
Photos and STL, PLY and OBJ scanner models, with both arches in occlusion and the contact indicator.
Odontogram
Implant, abutment, crown and extraction as planning actions, and the treatment plan straight from there.
Treatment plans
Deposits and up to 36 instalments, treatments in more than one currency, and patient approval by email.
Lab
The order with patient, treatment plan, send and delivery dates and attachments, sent as a PDF by email, plus a warning if the patient has an appointment and the work is still pending.
Clinical notes
The surgery note, signed by the clinician and by the patient.
Frequently asked questions from implantologists
Can I open DICOM scans in OCLÜ?
Yes, with the DICOM Viewer add-on. You upload the ZIP or the CBCT folder to the patient record, up to 5 GB per file, and the scan opens in the browser with nothing to install. It is best used on a computer, since the viewer is driven with a mouse.
Does it have panoramic and cross-sectional views?
Yes. You trace the curve on the axial view, or use the suggested one, and the multiplanar view rebuilds the panoramic, the cross-sectional slices every 1, 2, 3 or 5 mm and the coronal slice. On the cross-section you measure distances and angles in millimetres, and you can download a PDF with the slices.
Does OCLÜ plan implants or design surgical guides?
No. OCLÜ does not position virtual implants or design guides: you keep using your planning software for that. What lives in OCLÜ is the scan, the measurements from the appointment, the plan on the odontogram, the treatment plan and the lab order.
Can I view intraoral scanner models?
Yes, on every plan. The 3D viewer opens STL, PLY and OBJ. If you upload maxilla and mandible, they sit in occlusion using the scanner's coordinates, and a contact indicator colours the distance between arches. The view can be captured and saved to the patient record.
How is an implant quote built?
From the odontogram planning you create the treatment plan with those treatments. You add deposits and up to 36 instalments and send it by email for the patient to approve or reject. Their answer changes the status of the treatment plan.
