BrowseEach route leads to a different type of decision. If you only know the implant brand, start with the brand. If you already know you are dealing with a full-arch case, scan body or tightening torque, go straight to the task.
Choose the manufacturer and system. The fastest route when you know the implant but not the component reference.

ContinueIn practice, a healing abutment, screwdriver, scan body, analog and CAD library are not isolated products. They all refer back to the same implant platform and must connect without ambiguity.
Brand, system, series and platform are the common denominator for every subsequent step.
Open this step 2The healing abutment must match the platform, and its screw interface determines the system-specific screwdriver.
Open this step 3Conventionally through an impression and analog, or digitally through a scan body and reference geometry.
Open this step 4TECH/LITE links the scan body to the Ti-base, Multi-Unit or other target component.
Open this step 5Ti-base, MUA, PSD, premill or customised iDent depending on the indication and manufacturing strategy.
Open this step 6A conventional analog for a stone model or a digital analog for 3D printing transfers the virtual position back into a verifiable physical model.
Open this step 7The correct screwdriver, recommended torque and passive-fit verification close the loop.
Open this stepFour nodes that most often determine whether digital data actually result in an accurately fitting prosthetic restoration.
Scanning, data validation, CAD library, design, manufacturing and fit verification in one connected chain.
Open the workflow CAD/CAMThe correct relationship between scan body, implant platform and target component for Exocad, 3Shape and other systems.
Choose a library Position transferReference geometry between the intraoral or laboratory scan and the library file in CAD.
Go to scan bodies Physical validationTransfer of the virtual implant position into a physical model, dual fixation, validation and integration with ModelPro.
Digital modelThe same component may matter to the clinic, laboratory and full-arch team for different reasons. Resources is therefore also organised by real-world use.
Healing, platform identification, scanning, working instruments and safe tightening.
Analog, library, design component, digital model and verification of the result.
Multi-Unit interface, controlled scanning, STL validation and identification of accumulated error.

Product and workflow pages answer the question “how to proceed”. The clinical & technical library adds a second layer: scan accuracy, mesh-to-library matching, biomechanics of the screw joint, TiN and other surfaces, FEM, 3D printing and uncertainty management across the digital chain.
Send us a few basic details. The more precisely we identify the implant and intended workflow, the faster we can determine the compatible component, library or instrument.

What you already havereference, component photo, screenshot or STL context
Start with “Shop by implant brand” or the catalogue. Correct identification of the implant manufacturer, system and platform is essential. Only then does it make sense to select a scan body, analog, Ti-base, MUA, screw or instrument.
The difference is not just the library name. The selection must match the scan body used and the intended prosthetic component. Open the IPD Software Libraries page, where the TECH/LITE relationship is explained in workflow context.
The screwdriver engagement profile depends on the implant platform and fixation screw used. Start with the Screwdrivers, RA adapters and torque ratchet overview, then use the IPD fixation-screw tightening-torque table.
A conventional analog replicates the implant in a traditional stone working model. A digital analog is designed for insertion into a 3D-printed model and is linked to the CAD library, printing process and validation of the physical position.
Start with the Multi-Unit interface and the ScanLogiQ® page. For the data protocol itself, continue to AssistLogiQ and, if scan accuracy is in question, to the articles on CSS, ReScan, DeBug and reduction of accumulated full-arch errors.
Do not infer compatibility from visual similarity of components. Send technical support the implant identification, platform, type of restoration and, where useful, a photograph, reference or software screenshot.

We did not translate the original US materials mechanically. We adapted them to a technical context, added related pages and separated practically useful principles from marketing language.
Instead of linking only to a foreign-language PDF, each case now has its own editorial page with the original source and visual material.
