Using DACOS for Dentures | Support Creation & Stable Articulation without Models
This tutorial dives into how to use DACOS to articulate digital dentures directly—without models. Unlike standard model workflows that only require the Import and Finish tabs, dentures involve two extra steps. After importing your final designed denture into the DACOS module (even from third-party software), you’ll create a custom support layer using the Paint and Connection tab.
⚠️ Important: This step is to avoid undercuts—so precision is key when painting the surface. Once the support is formed, you’ll connect it to the DACOS caps, ensuring they are large and stable enough for secure positioning. Finally, don’t forget to clean up any intersecting areas between the denture and support before finishing.
This method allows seamless articulation of full dentures in the DACOS system and adds a powerful tool to your digital prosthetic workflow.
