Blender For: Dental Crack Patched [work]

This is the fastest way to fill a surface-level crack without changing the patient’s actual anatomy.

Are you looking to patch these cracks for , or are you designing a restoration like a crown or bridge?

Use the Inflate brush on a low strength. Gently click along the crack to "swell" the mesh together. blender for dental crack patched

Ensure Dynamic Topology (Dyntopo) is turned on at the top of the screen. This generates new triangles as you sculpt, ensuring the patch is solid and not just stretched pixels. 3.

Select your dental model and hit Ctrl + Tab . This is the fastest way to fill a

Apply the modifier. This creates a brand new, manifold "skin" over the entire model. 5. Preparing for 3D Printing

Hold Shift while brushing over the inflated area. This melts the new geometry into the surrounding tooth structure, effectively "patching" the gap. Gently click along the crack to "swell" the mesh together

The physical model might split at the crack point under the pressure of vacuum forming (for aligners).

A "crack" in a digital dental model isn't just a visual flaw. If you try to 3D print a model with unpatched cracks, the slicer software may misinterpret the geometry, leading to:
