Using a Patient's Denture to Create a Surgical Guide

This video shows how to use a patient's exisiting denture as a cbct scan appliance and convert the denture into a digital surgical guide. This is a very easy and streamlined workflow utilizing the Blue Sky Bio Implant Planning Software

Cory, I've starting following your channel and I find it very educational. Thank you so much for all the work you put in your videos.
I'm trying to follow along and I just have a hard time figuring out how to take the DICOMS of the appliance that I get from the CBCT scan and changing them to a STL file. If you could give me some guidance that will be really appreciate it.

Thanks doc for the help. Can you upload the link to the video you were refrencing in regards to scanning the patients tissue?

Hello there and thank you so much for the videos. Great. But where do I find the video with the optical scan you're mentioning at the end?

Another great video from Cory I've seen lots of them. If the patient had an old denture with good aesthetics and vertical dimension and was relined to obtain a good fit would it do? One wouldnt have to sacrifice their existing good denture or have to duplicate. Would a cold cure reline do? would it need a lab reline? Is there an iso values issue with Bluesky software?

Is there a way to import the denture as an STL file instead of as a dicom?

[@drtmvo-v5263]

Hey Mr. Cory Glenn, I am still waiting for an answer. PLEASE let me know where I can find the Video you're mentioning at the end where you are creating a surgical guide just with an optical scan of the tissue! Thanks so mucH
