Setting up the MEDIT software bridge

Dentrix Imaging supports acquiring intraoral scans from the MEDIT software bridge. You must install the Medit software on each Microsoft Windows workstation that uses the MEDIT software bridge.

Notes:

·        Before installing any imaging devices or setting up the MEDIT software bridge, you must configure the acquisition agent application on each computer that you use to acquire images.

Recommended version

·        Medit Link: v3.4.5 or later

Minimum version

·        Medit Link: v3.1.4

·        Acquisition Agent: v121.9370.xxxxx

To set up the MEDIT software bridge

1.   Right-click the Acquisition Agent icon, and then click Preferences.

The Preferences dialog box appears.

2.   Click the General tab, and then click Medit Settings.

The Medit Settings dialog box appears.

3.   Click Log In.

The MEDIT Link dialog box appears.

MEDIT Link and DLL files

Important: Currently, the MEDIT Link INI and DLL files are not distributed with the Acquisition Agent, so you must call Dentrix Support for access to these files. However, if MEDIT is configured for Smart Image, you can skip this step.

1.   Get the following MEDIT Link files:

·        MeditLinkAppSmartImage.ini

·        Medit_SmartImage_x64.dll

·        MeditPublic_AddinBase.Manifest

·        MeditPublic_AddinBase_x64.dll

·        SmartImage.png

2.   Copy the files to the following folders:

Note: If the folders do not exist, create them.

·        %ProgramData%\Medit\Medit Link Add-in

·        MeditLinkAppSmartImage.ini

·        C:\Program File (x86)\Dentrix

·        Medit_SmartImage_x64.dll

·        MeditPublic_AddinBase.Manifest

·        MeditPublic_AddinBase_x64.dll

·        SmartImage.png

7.   To open the Medit Scan software, click Scan.
