All or nothing

he database of the Ceramill CAD/

CAM system (Fig. 1) ensures that

the requirements are the same

for functional restorations in the virtu-

al world: dental technician, dentist

and patient are entered in the opened

record card, followed by the details of

the restoration. With the aid of these

data the programme guides the dental

technician from the scan to design to

positioning the blank and transfer of

the milling path to the Ceramill Moti-

on2. Calibration of the Ceramill trans-

fer stand using the calibration key of

the Artex articulator (Fig. 2) guaran-

tees that all relevant patient parame-

ters can be transferred to the Ceramill

Mind CAD software.

The software shows the way

After theCeramillMapscanner is started,

the user follows the instructions of the

software: gingiva, antagonist, working

model, diagnostic model and buccal

scan (Fig. 3 to 18). The virtual articulator

is calibrated in the scan process using

so-called “three-point alignment” (Fig.

14a, 14band 15). This guarantees precise

relationship and transfer of the model

from the articulator and transfer stand

into the virtual Artex CR articulator.

What is the procedure after acquiring the patient data,

model fabrication and transfer of the data in the Ceramill

CAD/CAM system? In the third part of their article Dietmar

Schaan, Master Dental Technician, and Knut Miller, Dental

Technician, demonstrate the fabrication of a functional

anterior restoration: scanning of the model using the

Ceramill Map400 and how to use the Ceramill Artex virtual

articulator.
