Hatfield, PA (May 7, 2014)i-CAT is pleased to announce the new and enhanced Tx STUDIO™ 5.3 treatmentplanning software, fully integrated and exclusively for the award-winning family of i-CAT® cone beam 3D imagingproducts. Tx STUDIO delivers powerful treatment tools for dentists and specialists working with implants, airway,TMD, orthodontics, and surgical procedures, and offers a host of new tools to precisely plan an entire implanttreatment – from surgical placement of the implant and abutment, to final restoration.

Implant cases can now be planned more accurately from the very beginning. With their desired functional resultsplanned in the Tx STUDIO software first, clinicians can then plan the implant placement and abutment to achievetheir goals.

Restoration planning has always been simple, fast, and precise with Tx STUDIO, and this newest launch brings evenmore robust tools to the process. The software allows clinicians to combine their 3D images with intraoral scansfor a more complete representation of the anatomy, hard and soft tissues, to increase predictability and accuracyof implant placement and restoration design.

i-CAT provides the flexibility to work with the practice’s existing technology and workflow. Clinicians can chooseto import STL files from either digital models or their intraoral scanner and easily register them with their i-CAT 3Dscan in Tx STUDIO software. For working with the lab on custom abutments and crowns, the Tx STUDIO softwarefacilitates easy sharing of STL files and 3D treatment plans. Improve communications with your lab by exportingSTL files from Tx STUDIO so your lab can create the final restoration based on your exact design.
