Software CEREC Biogeneric

Sirona Dental Systems GmbH Operator's manual

Software
CEREC Biogeneric is the first method which is able to reconstruct lifelike occlusal surfaces. On the basis of the features of a patient's single intact tooth, the program extrapolates the naturally created morphology of other teeth. The biogeneric occlusal design functions for all single tooth restorations and fully anatomic bridges. Currently, all occlusal design approaches are based on dental libraries and databases containing data records of various standard teeth. Conventional CAD/CAM programs retrieve a matching tooth from the archive, and then generate a design proposal for the given clinical situation. The user then manually edits and adapts this proposal. The biogeneric occlusal design is to replace the dental database design procedure applied in previous CEREC software versions. It will now be possible to create crowns, inlays, onlays, veneers, and anatomically sized bridges in a fully automated manner. The reconstruction can be based on any intact patient tooth from the same type, i.e. posterior tooth or anterior tooth. The often time-consuming process of manually adjusting the tooth to the clinical situation is now virtually a thing of the past. Moreover, due to the standardized and largely automated routines, the new software is easy to get to grips with and use.

4.8.3.1.1

Proximal contacts strength


The inLab 3D software automatically determines the proximal contact thickness.

NOTICE
No contact to the neighboring tooth If the neighboring tooth is located at a distance of more than 1mm (e.g. neighboring tooth prepared), no contact is made. The setting of the parameter "Proximal contacts strength" affects crown, inlay and onlay restorations. If you find that the contacts proposed by the software are generally too strong or too weak, you can change them via the menu "Settings"/"Parameters..." according to your requirements.

The thickness of the contact points can be adjusted in increments of 25m between -200m and 200m.

NOTICE
Change only after recalculation This setting acts only on line suggestions. A change to this setting becomes effective only after recalculation of the suggestion.

NOTICE
Inadequate suggestions for contact points The proximal contact points are determined by the software by analyzing your measured data. Poor quality of the acquisition data can lead to inadequate suggestions regarding the contact points. The setting of the parameter "Proximal contacts strength" has no influence on the design of crown and bridge frameworks.
4.8.3.1.2

Occlusal contacts strength


With this parameter you can set the contact thickness to be produced in connection with "Virtual grinding". The thickness of the contact points can be adjusted in increments of 25m between -200m and 200m.

4.8.3.1.3

Occlusal offset
If you find that all of your restorations have too little or too much material in the occlusal direction, you can compensate for this with this parameter. The occlusal offset can be adjusted in increments of 25m between 500m and 500m.

59 76 571 D 3344 D 3344.208.06.12.02

With these parameters you can set the desired minimum material thickness. This is also already visible during the design phase if the "Minimal thickness" checkbox is selected under "Window" / "Display options". The parameters "Minimal thickness (occlusal)" and "Minimal thickness (radial)" influence the minimum wall thickness geometry for veneers, in-

lays, onlays and crowns only. Different values can be set for the occlusal and radial perspectives.

4.8.3.1.5

Margin thickness
Prior to milling of inlays, the margin of the restoration is thickened by the set thickness. The "Margin thickness" can be adjusted in increments of 25 m from 0 m to 200 m.

Veneer thickness
The "Minimal thickness (Veneer)" can be adjusted in increments of 100 m from 0 m to 2000 m. In the case of a minimum thickness below 500m, these are referred to as thin veneers. In this case, "e.max CAD" is available as material.
4.8.3.1.7

Adhesive gap
Description

If you find that all of your inlay restorations turn out to be too large, you can compensate for this by modifying the adhesive gap. If you set a larger number in the "Adhesive gap" text box, the adhesive gap will be enlarged correspondingly. The size of the adhesive gap can be varied in increments of 10 m from 0 m to 150 m.

5.1 Scans with inEos Blue


General
Acquisition methods

You have three modes for executing scans with inEos Blue: Grid acquisition For large scans with 9 or more units Long, untoothed areas For scans with up to and including 8 units

Free scan For additional scans at different angles For the surveying of single tooth stumps For single restorations without consideration of the proximal contacts or the antagonist

Rotational scan

You can execute several scan modes in sequence. You can omit a scan mode if, for example, it is not suitable for your model.

5.1.1.1

Scan models
Materials

You can scan all materials that correspond to the following criteria: Non-reflecting Nontransparent No transparent parts Not highly absorbent (e.g. heavily colored plasters) Unscannable materials generate artifacts in the image. Tip: When using plasters that do not meet the above criteria, you must powder the affected areas. Otherwise the measuring accuracy will be impaired considerably. The following are suitable for this purpose: CEREC Optispray (REF 61 44 179) For scanning with inEos Blue, we recommend using CEREC Stone BC plaster (REF 62 37 502).
Saw-cut etc.

When preparing saw-cut models, be careful not to mill off the single stump segments. Place the model next to the stumps so that the scanner can properly capture these areas. Create only a slight fluting below the preparation margin.

5.1.1.3

Overlap area during acquisition


If images are acquired via free scans, each image must overlap with the previous image. This overlap area must comprise roughly half of the image.

empty

Overlapping insufficient
If the overlap with the previous scans is not sufficient, the software cannot assign the image. The error message "No matching data found" appears. Select a section that has a larger overlap with previously acquired images or reduce the tilt.

Rotational scan in top view


Increasing the precision
You can increase the precision by combining the top view with one or more rotational images instead of with individual detail scans. This applies especially in the vicinity of preparation borders on tooth stumps serving as bridge abutments.

5.2.4.2

Capturing the optical impression


1. Remove the prepared single teeth intended for the rotational scan from the saw-cut model. 2. Place the single teeth in the model holder in succession and align them as coaxial as possible (i.e. ideally the insertion axis would coincide with the rotation axis) as for the individual rotational scan also. 3. Perform the rotational scans (see chapter "Rotational scan [ 104]). 5. Align the complete saw-cut model in the holder just as you would for top view scans without a rotational scan. The saw cuts should be filled (e.g. with powdered wax) to prevent needle artifacts, etc., on the cuts. 6. Take the top view scan (see "Top view scan [ 102]).

5.2.4.3

Further information
Insert the model holder with the stump positioned so that the mesio-distal alignment of the single tooth corresponds to the alignment of the complete model (also see "Rotational scan [ 104]"). This speeds up the calculations.

NOTICE
Take few scans Take as few scans as possible: The program is suitable for any typical applications e.g. for two rotational scans combined with one top view comprising 4-6 individual scans. Whole-jaw scans combined with more than four rotational scans are possible, however, they are not advisable due to the high memory requirements and long calculating times involved.

Image field of the preparation

Image field of the buccal image

Image field of the occlusion

Image field of the antagonists

Image field of the articulation

Waiting times

NOTICE
Waiting times If a large number of optical impressions is used (>50), longer waiting times may result during reconstruction of the 3D model. The files become very large. Generally, the following applies: As many optical impressions as necessary, but as few as possible.

Image field of the occlusion


In the image field of the occlusion, optical impressions of a previously existing or of a waxed-up occlusion are possible. The image field of the occlusion must agree with the image field of the preparation in the mesial and distal region.
inLab Description

Even if you are not using the "Correlation" design technique, a mock-up can be scanned here as a design aid (e.g. set-up teeth). This scan can be displayed as a reference image during the design process. In the "Biogeneric reference" design technique, the exposures of the replicate must lie within the image field of the occlusion.
NOTE replication

5.5.3

Image field of the buccal image


These impressions are possible only if you have selected the following in the New dialog box: "Bite registration technique" > "Buccal scan". An exposure in which 50% of the image contains the upper jaw and 50% of the image contains the lower jaw is usually sufficient in most cases. In order for the registration to succeed, it is important to ensure that the relevant image information for the preparation and the antagonist show sufficient a buccal proportion.

5.5.4

Image field of the gingiva


Here you can take images of the gingiva. The scanbody can be removed for these exposures. Alternatively, it is possible to copy the relevant exposure from the image field preparation.

5.5.5

Now drag the buccal image to the corresponding area of the antagonist with the mouse and let go of the mouse button (drag&drop). The buccal image automatically registers itself on the preparation. If the registration was successful, this will be indicated by a "leopard pattern". If the registration was not successful, the model will start shaking and the buccal image will jump back to its original position. In this case, you must repeat the drag&drop procedure in order to find a better correlation surface. 3. Now click on the buccal image once again and drag it onto the appropriate surface of the preparation (drag&drop). If the registration was successful, this will be indicated by a "leopard pattern".

6.4 Redefining the insertion axis


6.4.1 Preparing the right insertion axis
CEREC Biogeneric obtains the information it requires from the occlusal surface and the proximal contact line of adjacent teeth. During the acquisition procedure, all the essential information is recorded based upon the insertion axis specified by the user: The software stipulates that both levels must be positioned vertically to the insertion axis. If indentations are created by positioning the insertion axis vertically to the occlusal surface in the preparatory steps, you must change the direction of the insertion axis. Deviations of the acquired surface from the actual occlusion have a negative effect upon the quantity of data available for the biogeneric algorithm. This has the potential to affect the quality of the proposal.

The "Insertion axis" window opens. Regions within a preparation margin that show an undercut from the viewing direction are marked yellow. 2. Change the position of the preparation such that all yellow markings disappear. If this is not possible, (e.g. in the case of diverging stumps) make sure that all preparation margins are completely visible from the viewing direction and yellow-marked undercuts are as far away as possible from the preparation margin. 3. In order to achieve and optimum result with Biogenerics, change the position of the preparation so that the insertion axis is aligned as vertically as possible to the occlusal surface. 4. Then rotate the preparation model so that the model is correctly labeled by the axis designations (mesial<->distal and lingual<->buccal). To do this, rotate the preparation in the occlusal view by grasping the right or left edge of the screen with the mouse pointer and then moving the pointer along the edge of the screen.

General information
In the case of non-VInCrOn restorations (i.e. frameworks and reduced restorations), blocks which are too small can also be selected in the block preview. If a block which is too small is selected and is shown when the "Mill" button is clicked, it can be chosen during the block selection and be used for the processing of the restoration.

If a restoration only fails to fit into the block on account of its height, the "Position" tool can be used to decide which area to prepare (occlusal or cervical). In order to prepare this block, the block which is "too small" must also be selected in the block view.

Positioning the restoration in a multicolored block


You can move the restoration in all spatial directions within the block using the "Position" tool until the restoration reaches one of the block limits. The limits are signaled by a beep and a red block. If the restoration is milled on an MC XL milling unit, you can rotate the restoration along the block holder axis by using the red buttons on the "Rotate" tool. Tip: If you wish to rotate a front tooth along the mesial-distal axis, for example, before doing so select "Mesial" or "Distal" as the sprue location in the "Milling preview" dialog. When you click the "Mill" icon, the restoration will be milled in this position from the block. In the case of restorations milled on an inLab milling unit, contortion is not taken into account. The restoration is milled in its initial alignment.

RealLife blocks
Anterior teeth are positioned as an initial suggestion so that the curvature of the labial surface corresponds as closely as possible to the curvature of the dentine core. The position of the restoration can be further adjusted by moving and rotating. For RealLife blocks, the same positioning options are available as for simple layered blocks. In addition, the restoration can be rotated around the tooth axis using the blue surfaces of the "Rotate" tool. Use the "Form", "Drop" and "Shape" tools before you determine the position of the restoration in the block. As soon as you switch off the block display, all setting for alignment in the block are lost. You should therefore ensure that the block display remains activated when you start the milling

process using the "Mill" icon. The position of the sprue location can no longer be freely chosen and lies proximally/labially, depending on the rotation of the restoration.

7.2.5

Sinter support

For large bridges (with at least 8 elements), you can decide whether you would like to mill the restoration with sinter support. If the check mark for the "Sinter Support" option is set in the "Milling preview" dialog box, the restoration will be machined with these supports. If no check mark has been inserted, the bridge will be machined without these supports. If the restoration is saved with this option, it also can be milled with sinter support via inLab Stack software. The "Sinter Support" option is offered only when the material concerned is zirconia.

7.3 Starting the milling process


Introduction

Once you have completed the design and assessed the restoration in the milling preview, you can mill the restoration.

Managing/archiving data

Managing/archiving data
To create an archive of all finished restorations you should save regularly. Under "Settings"/"Configuration"/"Save", you can activate or deactivate the "Connect database" option (see "Save" in the "Configuration" chapter [ 85]).

8.1 Saving regularly

8.2 Connect database


If a SIRONA database is installed in your system, it can be used for data archiving and patient management after selecting this option. Once the database has been connected, all patients stored in the database are known to the application. You must enter new patient names in the database. Restorations must also be saved and loaded using the database. If the database connection is used, all inLab restorations will be saved to the "CEREC" subfolder in the Pdata folder of the database. This folder is usually located on a server which can be accessed from all PCs connected to the network. inLab images are assigned the image code VC in the SIRONA database.

8.3 Database import


After the database connection is activated, all locally saved patients and restorations are transferred (imported) to the SIRONA database. A message indicating the successful database import is then displayed. Patients (and their restorations) cannot be imported to the SIRONA database if they are identified only by a card index number in the local data structure. A message informs the user about this situation during database import.

8.4 Database export


When the database connection is deactivated, a dialog box appears in which you can select whether the restorations stored in the database are to be copied (exported) to the local data structure. The patient information will in any case be transferred by creating a patient folder in the data structure for each patient in the database. During database export, you are informed of its progress. A message indicating the successful database export is then displayed.

8.5 Restoration files


In the "Programs"/"CEREC"/"Data" directory (if you have installed the program under "Programs"/"CEREC"), you will find a subfolder for and named after each patient. Each patient folder contains one or more tooth folders in which the individual restoration files are stored.

Managing/archiving data Consistency check

Sirona Dental Systems GmbH Operator's manual

If the database connection is used, the "PDATA" folder (created during installation of the SIRONA database) contains a folder named "CEREC". Since a unique patient number is assigned to each patient in the database, no patient names are used here under "CEREC"; instead, consecutively numbered folders (e.g. P_000001) are listed. The tooth folders and restoration files can be found below them.

8.6 Consistency check


If the database connection is active, a consistency check will be performed when the inLab 3D application is started. The database will be searched for images from earlier inLab 3D versions. Any such old images found will be updated. The user is informed of the progress. If the list of restorations for a specific patient is displayed for loading or deletion, corrupt restoration files will automatically be recognized and suggested for deletion. This mechanism always remains active, regardless of whether a database is connected or not.

9.4 Biogeneric
9.4.1 Introduction
In the "Biogeneric"/"Individual" design technique, the neighboring teeth are analyzed and the restoration suggestion is calculated on this basis. The more information that is available, the more successful the calculation. A full image of at least one neighboring tooth should therefore be taken from the occlusal/incisal direction. For anterior and corner teeth, an image of the labial surface should also be taken. For premolars or molars, the calculation is mainly based on the distal neighbor, for anterior teeth the mesial neighbor is used.

NOTICE
If larger regions of the neighboring teeth already have restorations or are prepared, this calculation is severely restricted. A suggestion is also generated, which corresponds, however, to an average tooth that has not been optimally adapted to the residual teeth. If a suitable neighbor cannot be obtained, a preferential tooth shape should be selected ("adult", "youth", "lepto", "athlet", "pykno" or "asia") or the "Biogeneric reference" design technique should be chosen.

Bridge Biogeneric design technique


In the New dialog box, for "Bridge" restorations, you can select the design technique "Biogeneric". You can mark the bridge configuration in the New dialog box as usual. Then you can enter the preparation margins and base lines from the distal in the mesial direction as for a bridge framework. Once the last line has been entered, it is possible to edit all lines. After determining the direction of insertion, a biogeneric suggestion is calculated. All of the tools required to modify the suggestion are now available to you. If you have scanned an antagonist, the occlusion can also be adapted automatically (as for a single anatomical crown). The design of the crown does not yet have to be definite at this time; it can be corrected at any time until shortly before the milling preview. For this purpose, a double-click on an unselected crown is sufficient to enable its subsequent adaptation. As soon as you are satisfied with the design of the bridge, you can click the green "Next" arrow to change to the milling preview, where the freeforming tools "Form", "Drop" and "Shape" are available for the final finer details.

CAUTION
No connectors between crowns The user himself is responsible for the coherence of the bridge! Do NOT place any connectors between the crowns! When using the "Cut" tool, the cut surface is displayed in the status bar. This allows you to verify the thickness of the connection surfaces.

Designing abridge framework


Orientation of bridges on the model holder
This chapter is only relevant if you use the scanner in the milling unit. The positioning of the scan models on the L-shaped model holder influences the correctness of the labeling designating the sides in the 3D software. If the procedure explained in the following is not observed, the designations on the 3D model will be incorrect, which can lead to faulty restoration suggestions. Following the scanning process, the model can be subsequently rotated on screen with the "Design"/"Insertion axis" menu item (see "Correcting the orientation of bridges" [ 141]).

Rule of thumb:

A B C

Clamping shank mesial distal

Mesial > toward clamping shank A For single-tooth models, this refers to the mesial side of the tooth to be restored. For bridge frameworks, a distinction must be made between several different cases: If a bridge only contains teeth from a single quadrant, the mesial side of the bridge is unambiguous. If a bridge contains teeth from 2 quadrants, the "most distal" tooth (incl. partially edentulous) is moved in a "distal" direction (i.e. away from the clamping shank). In this way, buccal and lingual designate the correct side on the 3D model. If a bridge contains the same number of teeth from 2 quadrants, the 1st (3rd) quadrant is positioned in a mesial direction (i.e. towards the clamping shank). In this way, buccal and lingual designate the correct side on the 3D model.

Take an optical impression of a reference tooth in the "Occlusion" image field. The tooth is to be fully acquired from the occlusal direction. 4. Following the reconstruction of the model, you have the option to trim the model as well as to determine the preparation line and insertion axis. 5. You are subsequently prompted to enter the tooth position of the tooth that you wish to use as the reference. Confirm your selection in the tooth model by clicking the "OK" button. 6. If you selected the contralateral tooth as the reference, you can choose between creating the restoration by mirroring the contralateral tooth or by means of biogeneric reconstruction. 7. The acquisition of the reference tooth is subsequently displayed in gray. Double-click on the center of the occlusal surface, in the case of anterior teeth click on the center of the incisal edge. A biogeneric suggestion is now reconstructed. 8. You then have the option of adjusting and milling the suggestion with standard tools.

General information
Optical impressions of the preparation and occlusion
Teeth in center of image

The teeth to be restored should be located in the center of the image in the mesio-distal and in the bucco-lingual direction. The preparation and occlusion impressions should cover an almost equally large area. Terminal situations are always distally terminal. The image of the tooth to be restored (prepared tooth) must never be acquired so that it lies on the mesial image border. Part of the neighboring tooth is always to be expected at the mesial end.

Area coverage for preparation and occlusion impressions

Terminal situations

Scanning axis and position of model for inEos

Make sure that the scanning axis and the position of the model are not changed between the between the occlusal and the preparation impressions. The image quadrants must be captured so that they are coincident.

If for"Inlay, Onlay, Partial crown" in the design technique "Correlation" (and only in this design technique!), while drawing in the preparation margin, you set segment limits1 and if needed then change this, this will be taken into account by the software (figure left). If you set no segment limits, then (as previously in version 3.0x) the software automatically detects the segment limits (figure right).

Once all of the teeth have been set up, you can make the finishing touches on each tooth. A double-click on an unselected gray tooth selects the tooth and allows you to change the selected tooth using all of the available tools.

Clicking on the "Next" icon again takes you to the reduction step. For selected crowns, the "Form", "Drop" and "Reduce" tools are also available. Half of the neighboring crowns are hidden on both sides of a selected crown to give you a better overview.

The reduction can be performed separately for each element. In the present example, number 4 is fully reduced, numbers 5 and 6 are partially reduced and number 7 is anatomically unchanged (). If you are satisfied with the crowns and pontics of the bridge, you can click the green "Next" arrow. You will receive a suggestion for connectors. As for a bridge "FrameWork", with the reduction tool switched off, in this step you can double-click to select a connector and then change it with the usual tools. As soon as you are satisfied with the design of the bridge, you can click the green "Next" arrow to change to the milling preview, where the free forming tools "Form", "Drop" and "Shape" are available for the final finer details.

NOTICE

This parameter must be set prior to the calculation of the first suggestion. 6. Set the insertion axis and click the "Next" icon. A selection menu appears in which the type of tooth shape can be selected. 7. Select "Individual" for biogeneric calculation based on the neighboring teeth. If no suitable neighboring teeth are available, select a preferential tooth shape: "adult", "youth", "lepto", "athlet", "pykno" or "asia". 8. Confirm your choice by clicking the "OK" button. 9. This suggestion can be changed individually using the usual tools. For bridges, ensure that you set a sufficiently large connector crosssection. The connector cross-sections for the current active tooth position are displayed in the status bar. If a connector cross-section that is too small has been selected, the corresponding field in the status bar turns red. For precise checking of the connector, select the "Contact" button in the View window. 10. As soon as you switch to the milling preview, the restoration is graphically broken down into a framework and the covering veneer structure. You can now make further changes to the framework if required. When applying material above the shoulder, ensure that you do not generate any undercuts that may impair the placement of the veneer structure.

15.7 Reviewing and designing a restoration in the


inLab 3D software
Before designing a restoration on the basis of the digital impression received from the dentist, you have to ascertain whether the data available is adequate and free of artifacts, for example. Therefore, you have to open the data record in the inLab 3D software.

15.7.1

Assessing the order


CEREC Connect has been started. "Order Data" is selected in the "Accept/Reject Order" tab.
1. Click on the link of the digital impression. The inLab 3D software automatically starts with the step "Check order". Here you can view the dentist's impressions of the preparation, the partial bite and the antagonist. 2. Now decide whether there is adequate data available, whether the bite is correct, etc. in order to design the restoration. If the dentist has marked the preparation margin, it appears as a magenta-colored line. If he has not, there no line shown. 3. Click on the "Next" icon to return to the "Accept/Reject Order" tab in the CEREC Connect Portal, where you can now accept or reject the order. The data record remains open in the background, thus enabling you to start designing the restoration as soon as you close the CEREC Connect Portal. 4. Select a patient from the list or create a new patient by clicking the "New" button. 5. In the next step ("Connect order change"), you confirm the restoration type, design technique and tooth number by clicking "OK". 6. If necessary, you also can make changes in the presettings and then confirm them with "OK".

15.10.1 Introduction
Introduction to quadrant restoration

CEREC Connect software can be used to produce both single-tooth and multiple restorations (quadrants). For these cases, a specific workflow must be observed, which is described in the following. The following example shows a typical quadrant case. A dentist has made an optical impression of an inlay and two crowns (anterior and posterior tooth crowns) on one jaw, and sent it to your laboratory. 1. Open the inLab 3D software.
