Screw Channel Sealing

Screw Channel Sealing is a digital alternative to using wax to fill the abutment screw channel. It ensures the design software creates the accurate internal structure of the restoration during crown design, reducing the need for additional polishing and improving design efficiency. Additionally, sealing retains some traces of the original opening, aiding technicians in identifying the correct direction for creating the opening during the design process.
Check to enter the sealing function. The practical methods include four-point mode, line-drawing mode and point-marking mode.
