docq VIT =
virtual implant testing with simulation
docq VIT
One software solution for all anatomical regions
docq VIT is the first easy-to-use software for digital verification of patient-specific implants. By virtually applying physiological or standardized loads to a patient-specific situation, the performance and safety of implants can be verified quickly and efficiently based on objective criteria.

docq VIT – selected anatomical regions
Mandible
This workflow was developed for the anatomical region of the mandible to simulate the muscle and joint reaction forces in interaction with an individual implant restoration, thus creating valuable information on strength and safety for the clinician and patient.
Thorax
Due to the very complex movements of the thorax, it was previously difficult to design necessary supplies of the bony structures with implants accurately and according to the loads. This workflow within docq VIT creates a solution and at the same time an increase in safety for the patient.
Maxilla
Maxillary implants have been used successfully for many years. However, the patient-specific fabrication that is possible today requires close examination. docq VIT in conjunction with the MAXILLA workflow was developed precisely for this purpose and answers questions regarding the strength and safety of individual restorations.

How it works
Step 1
Preparing the simulation
Registration and load application
Independently of the implant type, the patient geometry and implant geometry are first positioned (registered) in relation to each other. This is done via a few predefined points (landmarks) where the software assists. The patient-specific situation thus created is extended by likewise predefined load scenarios, so that the actual testing can take place by means of simulation.
Step 2
Implant testing with simulation
Calculation of the patient-specific case
The actual simulation takes place in the background via direct connection to a cloud-based ANSYS calculation environment or alternatively customer-owned infrastructures. ANSYS is the world market leader in the field of numerical simulation and industrial standard. Data transmission is always encrypted and complies with medical security requirements. Within docq, all this is just a push of a button.
Step 3
Evaluation and reporting
View results and rating in docq
The simulation results are visualized in the form of a comparison of different restorations for the patient in docq, enabling the selection of the optimal implant design in conjunction with maximum safety and strength. Based on the comparable inputs, an FDA-compliant (Guideline 1807) report can be generated for technical documentation, which can be customized.
