Combining multiple PIC transfer kits in a single capture

PIC transfers from multiple kits may be placed in the same way as a single kit in the Odontogram Editor.

First, at least one PIC transfer from one kit must be placed. A different kit may then be chosen in the kit switcher to place its PIC transfers and so on.

When using multiple kits, PIC transfers with the same individual PIC transfer number belonging to different kits cannot be used at the same time and will be greyed out by default.

This is an intended functionality: the dot pattern order on the individual PIC transfers follow the same design for the 0 to 9 PIC transfers of each kit, which makes them visually identical for the PIC camera. To avoid incorrect identifications, PIC suite is designed to only allow using each individual PIC transfer number once in a single case when there are multiple kits in use. More information about identifying PIC transfers.

The kits in use will be displayed in the PIC transfers placement summary table in the Odontogram Editor, as well as in the PIC transfers kit summary on the Case Summary page.

The system doesn't allow placing of the PIC transfers that were placed from the previous kit. Those PIC transfers are greyed out, unable to place.  

Why combine multiple kits in a single case? 

During an impression, PIC transfers for different implant platforms can be combined if the clinical case requires it. Direct-to-implant PIC transfers can be combined with transepithelial abutments and all the different implant brands, models and platforms, even with zygomatic and pterygoid implants.

Some examples of cases involving multiple PIC transfer kits that can be captured with the PIC system:

  • Example 1. An arch can have Straumann® Tissue Level WN (Wide Neck) distal implants, premolars with Tissue Level RN (Regular Neck) and incisors with Bone Level with its transepithelial SRA (Screw-retained Abutment).
  • Example 2. A patient can have Nobel Biocare® transepithelial abutments (MUA, Multi-unit Abutment) and also Straumann® BLX implants with SRA. It is possible to complete the PIC system impression of this case using PIC transfers for two different platforms.
  • Example 3. It is possible to rehabilitate direct-to-implant, for example, a case of distal implants with Zimmer Biomet® 4.5 platforms and the rest with Zimmer Biomet® 3.5.
