πΉ 2. Add Patient Name into Database Files
What it does:
Normally ExoCad saves projects using codes like date and case number. This makes it hard to recognize which file belongs to which patient. By editing one setting, you can show Patient First Name + Last Name directly in file names.
How to do it:
1οΈβ£ Go to ExoCad root folder β DentalDb β Config.
2οΈβ£ Find the file defaultsettings-db.xml.
3οΈβ£ Open it with Notepad.
4οΈβ£Look for:
5οΈβ£ Change the codes:
π’ For Patient Name + Date β
π΅ For Patient Name + Clinic β
6οΈβ£ Save and restart the Dental DB.
β From now on, projects will have meaningful names like John_Smith-2025 instead of random codes.

# Customized_Healing_Abutments
#Part 1
Purpose
- To guide soft tissue formation and create an ideal emergence profile.
- Especially useful in anterior areas or in deep/lingual implants.
- Improves esthetics and cleansability of the final restoration.
Materials and Options
- PEEK / PMMA / composite resin / titanium.
- Many implant systems provide Temporary/Provisional Abutments (PEEK/PMMA) for customized healing abutments.
General Protocol (chairside or lab)
1) Select temporary abutment according to platform, height, connection.
Adjust only within IFU limits.
2) Extraoral shaping (preferred)
- Mount abutment on analog.
- Shape with composite/acrylic freehand or using a mold system (e.g., Cervico).
- If intraoral adjustment is done, protect soft tissue with sterile rubber dam.
3) Sterilization
Many customized healing abutments are delivered non-sterile and must be sterilized before clinical use.

#Part 2
4) Insertion and Torque
- Place the customized healing abutment.
- Tighten with system-specific torque (example: Neodent Pro PEEK = 20 Ncm).
5) Healing Phase
- Monitor tissue contour for days/weeks.
- Adjust extraorally if needed.
- Do not leave longer than manufacturerβs maximum (often β€6 months).
6) Transfer to Impression/Scan
- Use custom impression post or copy profile to impression coping.
- Mold-based systems like Cervico simplify this step.
Key Warnings from IFUs
- Do not change angulation, only adjust contour/height.
- Always isolate with sterile rubber dam when adjusting intraorally.
- Respect maximum duration of use.
Evidence
- Clinical studies show customized healing abutments (PEEK/titanium/composite) lead to stable peri-implant mucosa and favorable gingival contour.

But with Exocad 3.3,
weβre talking about real-world, time-saving power!
This latest update brings serious upgrades that actually move the needle in daily workflows. Hereβs what stands out:
We finally have true symmetry control for tooth placement. This is a game changer for speeding up esthetic setups and refining full arch cases.
The morphing tools have been dialed up. Not only are they smoother, but symmetry has been added here tooβmaking full arch adjustments more intuitive and efficient.
Nearly one-click segmented bars for implants. This feature alone shaves off huge amounts of time for hybrid cases
Not to mention all the denture module upgrades
