Streamlining Dental Implant Surgical Planning with Exoplan by Exocad

In today’s digital dentistry landscape, precision and predictability are everything, especially when it comes to implantology. At XCV Dental Lab, we embrace cutting-edge tools to help clinicians deliver faster, safer, and more accurate results. One of the most powerful tools in our arsenal is Exoplan, the dental implant surgical planning software from Exocad.

What is Exoplan?

Exoplan is a fully integrated digital implant surgical planning solution developed by Exocad. It allows for comprehensive and intuitive planning of dental implants using 3D data from CBCT scans and intraoral scans. When paired with exocad’s DentalCAD, the workflow becomes a seamless bridge between prosthetic planning and surgical execution.

Benefits of Using Exoplan for Surgical Planning

1. Prosthetically Driven Planning

Exoplan enables restoration-based planning, meaning implants can be virtually placed with the final prosthetic result in mind. This approach enhances long-term function and aesthetics.

2. Precise 3D Visualization

The software merges DICOM data (from CBCT) with STL files (from intraoral or model scans), providing a detailed 3D view of the patient’s anatomy. This visualization supports accurate implant placement while minimizing surgical risks.

3. Custom Surgical Guides

Once implant positioning is finalized, surgical guides can be designed directly within Exoplan. At XCV Dental Lab, we fabricate these guides with tight tolerances to ensure intraoperative accuracy.

4. User-Friendly Interface

Exoplan’s guided workflows simplify even complex cases. Its intuitive UI makes it accessible to both novice and experienced implant planners.

5. Time and Cost Efficiency

By streamlining the planning and production process, clinicians can reduce chair time, improve communication with labs, and lower the chance of complications.
