accurately establish which functional

parameters should be incorporated in

the restoration.

In addition to the patient parameters

supplied, the dental technician can

mechanically determine the incisal and

canine guidance with the aid of the

customised incisal guidance unit (Fig.

23 to 30) and also reproduce this later

using the virtual articulator.

The illustrations clearly illustrate which

differences arise during the design of

functional surfaces if the incisal gui-

dance is lost due to preparation of the

anterior teeth and the technician incor-

rectly engages posterior tooth guidan-

ce (Fig. 31 to 33).

Once the requirements for a functional

restoration are created in the analogue

world, the way is optimally prepared

for a successful restoration in the digi-

tal world.

The next issue deals with the different

Artex articulators, their calibration,

customised incisal guidance table as

well as their customised programming

and 1:1 transfer of the patient data in

the Ceramill CAD/CAM system.
