• In recent years 3D modeling technologies have got a lot of play in a great many fields. Dentistry provides one of the most impressive examples of their successful implementation.
As opposed to the conventional methods of mechanical production, digital technologies that involve the use of high-precision electronic printers, 3D scanners, and dedicated dental software allow taking dental laboratory processes to a whole new level.
As you may know, modern dental software offers a great variety of features meeting the most diverse needs of dental professionals. At the same time, there’s one thing that almost all dental applications have in common. That is a small security key (dongle) provided after the software purchase.
Donglify is an easy-to-use app for secure remote access to USB dongles that can be effectively used with the top software solutions in digital dentistry.
The hardware key holds your subscription or license info and allows access to the application on the computer to which the key is attached physically.
While a USB dongle is extremely efficient in enhancing the security of your app, you may find it rather challenging to share the key among several technicians at the same time.
Without the physical security dongle, the software becomes inaccessible, which means the dongle has to be constantly connected to and disconnected from different computers that, in turn, may result in its breakage or loss.
Luckily, there’s a compact app designed to help you access virtually any USB key remotely and protect damage or loss with just a couple of clicks.
Donglify is a simple yet powerful software tool that comes to the rescue when you have no possibility to attach your license dongle directly to the machine where the dental software is going to be used.
Donglify will let you share the hardware key over the Internet so you can connect to it from one or several remote computers at a time.
To achieve this, you should choose one of the two options offered by the solution:
✔ You can share the hardware key within your Donglify account with remote users logged in to it.
Note: This method is also recommended when you need to access the same USB key remotely from several of your computers.
✔ Send invites to users that have their own Donglify accounts.
If you are looking for a software application that will let you save significant time and dramatically improve planning, design, and analysis processes, you may consider the solutions created by exocad and 3Shape.
Exocad is widely known as a provider of highly-reliable and high-performance dental software running smoothly even if dealing with the most complicated cases. The exocad’s creations can improve your workflow by operating seamlessly and with quick response times. This software is popular among both experienced dental technicians and young professionals.
The standard version of the DentalCAD program by exocad includes fully anatomical crown and bridge pontics, digital processing and transfer of a wax up, primary telescopes and many more.
In addition, you can choose an optional module working as an extension to the basic version.
The following are the exocad modules you can add:
Implant module - for construction of individual abutments and screw-retained bridges.
Bar module - for crown, bridge and bar constructions.
Virtual Articulator module - for simulating jaw movement and considering dynamic occlusion when designing restorations with occlusion.
Bite Splint module - for designing therapeutic night guards.
TruSmile module - to visualize dental restorations for the patient.
DICOM Viewer module - to visualize voxel data from CT machines when designing dental restorations.
One of the greatest things about the exocad software is its compatibility with a vast variety of third-party dental 3D scanners, mills, printers, and materials.
Another solution that is definitely worth your attention is advanced Dental System and Ortho System software developed by 3Shape.
The 3Shape’s user-friendly applications make it simple to design dental restorations fast and accurately. With this software, dental technicians can concentrate on craftsmanship and artistry - the software will care about the rest.
3Shape CAD/CAM programs allow you to:
