Greater control and quality with a practical and modern approach based on cutting-edge technology. An increase and higher acceptance of patient cases in the clinic. The improvement of communication between doctors and the laboratories of different specialties with a 100% digital flow. NemoStudio offers a complete pack of modules for the dental industry which can be added according to the customer’s needs and desired features. Each module is adapted to a different field of service, as follows: ➔ NemoCast - Software for Orthodontic planning ➔ NemoCeph – Cephalometric Software ➔ NemoFAB - Software for Orthognathic surgery ➔ NemoScan - Software for Implantology planning ➔ NemoSmile - Software for Digital Smile Design, Smile Emulations and Shell Designer 28/05/2024 NemoStudio – User Guide Ed.24.3 EN 14 of 644 Since every module has its own capabilities, in the following sections a description of each one will be provided. NemoCast NemoCast is a software system used for the management of 3D scanned orthodontic models of the patients, orthodontic by measuring, analyzing, inspecting and visualize 3D scanned orthodontic models, virtual planning of orthodontic treatments by simulating tooth movements, virtual placement of orthodontic brackets on the 3D models and design of orthodontic appliances based on 3D scanned orthodontic models, including transfer methods for indirect bonding of brackets. Output includes STL Models (also called dental casts) for thermoforming aligners, STL files for direct printing aligners and Indirect Bonding Transfer Trays (also called orthodontic bracket placement trays). The device has no patient contact. NemoCast allows the user to: Import, organize, store images from CT or CBCT in DICOM format (optionally if the case has these images, called Volume Images). Import digital impressions of the teeth (scanned stone models and intraoral scanner) in STL, PLY or OBJ format, and align them over the volume image (if exists). Reorient the 3D volume. Do crowns and gingival segmentation on the digital models. Do root segmentation and complete teeth fusion (in case of volume image exists). If no volume image exists, it is possible to have virtual roots based on 3D templates for each tooth root. Do teeth landmarks identification in order to generate models analysis measurements. Do setups (treatment plans) doing individual movements of the teeth. Do staging of the different teeth movements. Export to STL the 3D models of the different stages of the setup. Export indirect bonding guide for Brackets placement. Inspect and analyze the progress of the treatment. Inspect and analyze the end of the treatment to evaluate if the outcome is consistent with the planned/desired treatment objectives. Results produced by the software and treatment plan tools are dependent on the quality of the records and the interpretation of trained and licensed practitioners. 3D manufacturing is out of NemoCast software control, depends on many external factors and lies within the sole responsibility of the user.

It is the user's responsibility to evaluate whether any decisions regarding specific treatment plans can be made in the clinic during treatment. Warnings ⚫ ATTENTION: U.S. federal law restricts this product to sale by or on the order of a licensed dentist or physician. ⚫ NemoCast software works exclusively with axial tomographic slices in DICOM 3.0 format. ⚫ 3D segmentations of anatomies must be compared with the slice images and verified for approval by the responsible clinician. ⚫ For scans taken with an inter-slice distance of 1 mm the accuracy of the 3D reconstructions in the software varies between 0.1 and 0.2 mm.

Volume Orientation. The orientation of the volume is automatically achieved with the introduction of clinically significant measurements. The facial midlines, levels, and yaw are used to orient the volume. 2. Records Production. During this process the panorex, headfilms, tomograms, and airway records are automatically and simply produced. 3. Segmentation. In this step, the CBCT and models are rapidly and automatically merged as one, to allow analysis and treatment planning to follow. This step is not required in orthodontic analysis and treatment planning. 28/05/2024 NemoStudio – User Guide Ed.24.3 EN 27 of 644 4. Osteotomy Design. The surgeon designs the osteotomies to reflect exactly his or her preference for anatomical design. The customization of the osteotomies produces a preview of what will be evaluated in the operating room. 5. 3D Cephalometric Analysis. This step allows precision identification and digitization of important landmarks in the 3D environment. Key landmarks are selected which lead to consistent and superior results. 6. CephalometricTreatment Planning. Soft tissue cephalometric treatment planning is utilized to analysis problems of the face in the profile view. Cephalometric treatment planning is then utilized to correct issues that have been identified. 7. 3D Dimensional Treatment. The frontal midline, cant, and yaw corrections are automatically imported from step 1 orientation. The profile corrections achieved in step 6 (cephalometric treatment planning) are imported to correct the anteroposterior, vertical, and occlusal plane deformities. Step 7 corrects the face, airway, and bite in 3 dimensions. 8. Splint Design. In the final step, the doctor is able to design the splint to his or her specifications. The splint can then be made wherever is convenient for the doctor's schedule.
