Operator's Manual CEREC SW 2.2 General safety information
2.2.1 Intended use

The Sirona Dental CAD/CAM System is intended for use in partially or
fully edentulous mandibles and maxillae in support of single or multiple-
unit cement retained restorations. For the SSO 3.5 L and SBL 3.3 L
titanium bases, the indication is restricted to the replacement of single
lateral incisors in the maxilla and lateral and central incisors in the
mandible. The system consists of three major parts: TiBase, inCoris
mesostructure, and CAD/CAM software. Specifically, the inCoris
mesostructure and TiBase components make up a two-piece abutment
which is used in conjunction with endosseous dental implants to restore
the function and aesthetics in the oral cavity. The inCoris mesostructure
may also be used in conjunction with the Camlog Titanium base CAD/
CAM (types K2244.xxxx) (K083496) in the Camlog Implant System. The
CAD/CAM software is intended to design and fabricate the inCoris
mesostructure. The inCoris mesostructure and TiBase two-piece
abutment is compatible with the following implant systems:
● Nobel Biocare Replace (K020646)
● Nobel Biocare Branemark (K022562)
● Friadent Xive (K013867)
● Biomet 3i Osseotite (K980549)
● Astra Tech Osseospeed (K091239)
● Zimmer Tapered Screw-Vent (K061410)
● Straumann SynOcta (K061176)
● Straumann Bone Level (K053088, K062129, K060958)
● Biomet 3i Certain (K014235, K061629)
● Nobel Biocare Active (K071370)
CAUTION

2.5.2 Object bar

The buttons for restoration selection are located in the object bar.
Each restoration is represented by a tooth or a bridge icon with the
corresponding tooth number. You can switch back and forth between
the teeth by clicking on the corresponding icon.
Active elements are highlighted in orange.
If restorations span multiple tooth positions or two objects per tooth
position are selectable for multilayer, the object bar is extended
downwards. You can change between different active elements in the
extended area.
During the restoration of multiple teeth or groups of teeth (e.g. bridge) it
is necessary to complete mandatory steps (e.g. drawing the preparation
margin) for all objects in order to proceed.
Corresponding notes on the objects provide information about the
status.
2.5.3 Page palette

Various functions and options are offered to you in the page palette,
depending on the restoration phase currently active.
You can open several page palettes at the same time. All page palettes
are initially closed. Mandatory palettes are automatically shown as open
upon entry in the respective step. Opened page palettes share the
available height.
Should this display be inadequate for you, you can remove any page
palette of your choosing from the fixed state of the magnet bar. To do
this, press and hold the left mouse button on the header of the page
palette and then drag the palette to the desired position within the main
window.
Tip: If you are using CEREC SW in window mode or on multiple
screens, then you can also pull the page palettes out of the application
window and position them in any point on your screen.
All changes to a page palette (size and position) are saved separately
for each step. You can therefore configure each work step as you want.
IMPORTANT
If a page palette is closed, the size and position are retained when
next opened. If a page palette is stuck back on the magnet bar,
however, the saved size and position are lost.
In order to affix a page palette back onto the magnet bar on the right
side, drag any page palette over the magnet bar on the right side. The
magnet bar lights up, suggesting various positions for the window. The
window then snaps into place as soon as you release the left mouse

D3534.208.01.13.02 04.2018 21
button. The page palette will now automatically put itself back in order
with the other page palettes.
To close a page palette, click on the right button in the page palette
header or once more on the respective right button in the magnet bar.
Minimize and maximize

Optimizing the space with the page palettes provides a compact view
for palettes with a large number of functions. Only the tools and
functions most frequently used are presented in this view. You can
switch back and forth between both views by clicking the corresponding
button (left next to Close).

4.1 General information on Biogeneric Operator's Manual CEREC SW
4 Design mode
4.1 General information on Biogeneric

Biogenerics enable the CEREC software to reconstruct teeth in a
natural way. Biogenerics is a biogeneric process based on the scientific
understanding that there are morphological connections between the
teeth that can be expressed in mathematical functions.
With CEREC SW 4.x, the suggestion process for biogenerics has
undergone fundamental overhaul. For example, the positioning and the
overall morphology are now also included in the analysis and
suggestion. Consequently, the quality of the initial suggestions has
been significantly further improved. This applies to individual teeth, but
especially for multiple restorations and anterior teeth as well.
All teeth recorded by the camera are analyzed with respect to their
position and morphology. Based on this analysis the relevant restoration
can be produced in fully automated fashion.
For the biogenerics to deliver ideal suggestions, it is important that
entries are correct and complete. This applies to the following steps in
particular:
● Exposure
The exposure should be good and complete. For single tooth
provision, the neighboring teeth must also be recorded at a
minimum. Scanning holes around the preparation and the proximal
contacts should be avoided (see “Take a scan”).
● Model axis
The model axis should be aligned precisely (see “Set model axis”).
4.2 Biogeneric Individual

In the "Biogeneric Individual" design technique, the exposure taken is
analyzed and the restoration suggestion is calculated on the basis of
this information. 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.

4.3 Copy and mirror

Select the "Copy & Mirror" design technique for user definition of the
tooth to be used as a reference for calculating the restoration
suggestion. The reference tooth can be any tooth of the same class
(anterior/posterior tooth), e.g. the antagonist or the contralateral tooth.
4.4 Biogeneric Copy

Select the "Biogeneric Copy" design technique in the case
administration in the case details to transfer parts of an existing occlusal
surface to the restoration and enhance the rest using the patented
Biogeneric technique.
To do this, acquire the status separately in the "BioCopy Upper" or
"BioCopy Lower" image field prior to the preparation.
This technique can be used for inlays, onlays, partial crowns, crowns,
and bridges.
4.5 Bio jaw

The suggestion system for "Bio Jaw" restorations offers the option of
adjusting the position and morphology (only the anterior teeth and
premolars) prior to the first actual suggestion. In other words, in this
step the restoration is not yet adapted to the preparation margin and
only very roughly to the contacts with neighbors and antagonists. The
adjustments are only made with the calculation of the initial suggestion.
If the initial suggestion does not match your intentions in terms of its
position or shape, you have the option of adapting this via an additional
step.

can group neighboring restorations (Ctrl/shift key + left mouse button)
and thus process several teeth simultaneously. When you group the
teeth, the software takes account of the contact situation of the selected

the others are reduced in size. The same mechanism applies when
positioning the teeth. The teeth are adjusted in size to the modified

5.2.1.2 Calibration
The measurement procedure used by the system requires the use of a
calibrated CEREC Omnicam. The CEREC Omnicam is factory-
calibrated. Then calibrate the CEREC Omnicam after every
reinstallation and after every transport. The calibration set supplied with
the CEREC Omnicam is available for the calibration process.
In order to achieve optimum results, the CEREC Omnicam must be
allowed to warm up for 15-20 minutes before calibration.
Recalibrate the CEREC Omnicam in the following cases:
● following transport (shaking stress) or during first commissioning,
● after storage in unheated or un-air-conditioned rooms (temperature
differences exceeding 30°C)
● with temperature differences of over 15°C between the last
calibration and operation
● In general, carrying out a calibration is the correct process in the
event of errors in the acquisition process (such as poor image
quality or the lack of a 3D preview). In many cases, the errors can
be corrected in doing so.
● As the system may be exposed to vibration loads without knowledge
of this, it should be calibrated once a month.
Starting calibration

5.2.1.3 Color calibration
General information
NOTE
Faulty color analysis
The color analysis can be negatively impacted due to strong light
incidence and it can lead to varying results.
➢ Set the model CEREC Omnicam up so that it is not located
directly in the beam path of an extreme light source (e.g., the
treatment light) and not exposed to direct sunlight.
A color-calibrated Omnicam must be used for the color analysis.

The color analysis can only be carried out with a CEREC Omnicam
from a particular serial number. In order to test the CEREC Omnicam,
use the Omnicam test tool on
my.cerec.com -> CEREC SW 4.5 - > Shade Detection.
You can find the serial number of the Omnicam on the upper side on
the optics tube (see arrow E in the figure below).
This is only relevant for first generation cameras. For new systems, the
serial number of the Omnicam does not need to be determined.
1. Press the mirror sleeve (B) against the camera body.

2. Press detent (A).
NOTE
Risk of damaging the camera window (D) or the coated sapphire
glass (C).
➢ Push the mirror sleeve straight toward the front; do not tilt it.
3. Pull off the mirror sleeve.

In order to achieve optimum results, the CEREC Omnicam must be
allowed to warm up for 20 minutes before calibration. The CEREC
Omnicam must be color calibrated every two weeks in order to carry out
a reliable color analysis. You will achieve the best results if the CEREC
Omnicam is color calibrated immediately before scanning a new case.
64 34 190 D3534
D3534.208.01.13.02 04.2018 43
Carry out a color calibration also after changing a mirror sleeve.

Heavily scratched mirror sleeves may not be used for a color analysis.
Storing a color-calibration set

The color-calibration set must be stored in its packaging in a dry place
which is protected from light. It must be used with a disinfected
Omnicam as the color-calibration set must itself not be disinfected. If
dust accumulates on the inside of the color-calibration set, it must be
carefully removed using compressed air.
Switch on the color analysis

4. Select the "Shade Detection" option.
- You can choose between various color systems ("Shade Guide
Selection").
- You can decide whether you would like to be notified in 14 days
when the color calibration is needed again.
- If color analysis is not possible with your camera, a corresponding
notice will appear. A color calibration is also not available in this
case.
5. Confirm the changes below with "Ok".
6. Click the "Color Calibration" button and carry out the color
calibration.
64 34 190 D3534
44 D3534.208.01.13.02 04.2018
Color-calibrating the camera

1. Make sure that the CEREC Omnicam is clean, disinfected and dry.
2. Remove the color-calibration set from the packaging.
3. Use the CEREC Omnicam to scan the QR code on the underside of
your color-calibration set. In order to do this, you must hold the
CEREC Omnicam still in front of the QR code so that it is
completely visible in the picture. If the QR code appears to be shiny,
hold the camera at more of an oblique angle in order to avoid any
glaring light and to make it easier to scan the codes. If the QR code
is recognized, the next "Please mount color calibration set" step
appears.
This step of the QR code scan is skipped during the subsequent
color calibration and the serial number of the color-calibration set is
thus displayed. If this does not match the serial number printed on
your color-calibration set, click on the "Rescan QR Code" button
and scan the new QR code.
4. Mount the color-calibration set on the tip of the camera until it locks
into place.
Ä The measuring process starts. Do not move the CEREC
Omnicam or the color-calibration set during this time.
Ä The software provides status updates on the calibration and
informs you once the procedure is complete.
Ending the color calibration

ü The software indicates that the color calibration was completed
successfully.
Ä The CEREC Omnicam is now color calibrated.
2. Remove the color-calibration set from the camera and place it back
in the packaging.
Error message during color calibration

The software indicates if an error occurs during color calibration. If the
color calibration contained an error, ensure the following:
● The color-calibration set is free of dust
● The color-calibration set was mounted correctly
● The CEREC Omnicam exit window is clean
➢ Then restart the color calibration.
Do not continue using a damaged color-calibration set; instead, contact
your distributor to purchase a new one.
64 34 190 D3534
D3534.208.01.13.02 04.2018 45
Replacing the color calibration set

Please note that the color calibration set
● can only be used with CEREC SW software ≥ 4.5 or Sirona Connect
SW ≥ 4.5 or CEREC Premium SW ≥ 4.5.
● can only be kept for use for a maximum of 2 years. You can find the
expiry date at the bottom of the color calibration set container.
Previous storage may mean that the period for use has been
reduced to less than 2 years.
● can only be used for one year after the container has been opened.
Write the date that the container was opened on the container after
"Opened on ___________" using a waterproof pen and do not use
after one year.
The color calibration set may no longer be used once either of the two
periods has expired.
The software notifies you that the color calibration set needs to be
replaced with a new set before the color calibration expires.
Once the color calibration set has expired the software notifies you that
a color analysis can only be carried out based on old calibration data.
Please contact your dealer for replacements for the color calibration set.
5.2.1.4 Camera heating settings

You can access the dialog for the temperature settings of the Omnicam
via the "Camera Heater Settings" button. Using the slider, you can set
the temperature at which the camera’s mirror sleeve is preheated in five
stages to prevent the optics from potentially fogging up. Confirm your
settings with "Cancel" or discard them with "Ok".
CAUTION
Hot surface!
The coated sapphire layer of the CEREC Omnicam is preheated in
the camera cradle. When removing the CEREC Omnicam from its
cradle, the surface temperature of the mirror sleeve can be up to
51°C. This may cause an unpleasant heat sensation on contact with a
person's skin or mucous membrane. These temperatures will not
damage the skin or mucosal membrane.
After removing the CEREC Omnicam from the camera cradle, the
temperature of the mirror sleeve drops within a few minutes (< 5
minutes) to less than 43°C. The CEREC Omnicam is therefore
suitable for use in the patient's mouth for an unlimited period of time.
At an ambient temperature from 30°C, only select the three lower
heater settings.

10.4 Take a scan Operator's Manual CEREC SW
The CEREC Omnicam acquires images which are used during the
ongoing measurement in spatial relation to each other (image
registration).
During the acquisition and then during the ongoing registration process,
a distinctive sound can be heard.
If the registration cannot be implemented, the acquisition flow is
suspended. You are informed of this by means of a sound. This is
different to the sound emitted during successful acquisition. You can
adjust the volume under configuration and select another type of sound
(melody).
IMPORTANT
Registration error
Should a registration error occur, you must return to another acquired
point.
To start with, practice this procedure on the model and then on
intraoral areas.
➢ Move the CEREC Omnicam to a position where a successful
acquisition was taken. A point that has already been acquired in
the occlusal area is best.
ð You will be able to hear the sound for registered acquisitions.
➢ Continue the acquisition.
IMPORTANT
No correct initial suggestion possible
In the case of fewer than 2-3 teeth acquired next to the position to be
restored, the CEREC cannot create a correct initial suggestion.
➢ Always acquire at least 2-3 teeth adjacent to the position to be
restored.
Divide the acquisition into four consecutive sequences:

1. Occlusal
2. Buccal
3. Lingual
4. Proximal
10.4.1.3.1 Occlusal scan
Important: Ensure that the distance between the coated sapphire glass
of the CEREC Omnicam and the scanned surface is observed.
The distance must be between 0 - 15 mm (ideally: 5 mm). The camera
does not rest on the teeth or the gums. If the distance is too great, no
data will be obtained.
64 34 190 D3534
96 D3534.208.01.13.02 04.2018
1. Move the CEREC Omnicam to the starting position. For this

purpose, the CEREC Omnicam is in the occlusal view of the tooth,
which is next to the prepared tooth in the distal direction.
2. Scan in the mesial direction. To do so, slowly move the CEREC
Omnicam in the occlusal direction from the distal-positioned tooth
over the prepared tooth to the mesial-positioned tooth.
With full jaw acquisitions, the scan sequence is different for the
transition to anteriors. Scanning begins with the lingual and labial areas,
before moving on to the incisors.
10.4.1.3.2 Buccal scan
ü The CEREC Omnicam is on the adjacent tooth, in the mesial

direction to the preparation.
1. Rotate the CEREC Omnicam between 45° to maximum 90° toward
the buccal.
2. Guide the CEREC Omnicam over the entire buccal distance in the
distal direction over the prepared tooth.
With full jaw acquisitions, limit the buccal scan to no more than a
quadrant.
Ensure that the CEREC Omnicam is held like a flute during buccal
scans. Do not tilt it vertically to the direction of motion.
Tip: Practice guiding the camera between 45° and 90°.
10.4.1.3.3 Lingual scan
ü The CEREC Omnicam is on the tooth that is positioned next to the

preparation in the distal direction.
1. Rotate the CEREC Omnicam from 90° in the buccal direction to
around 45° to maximum 90° in the lingual direction on the other
side.
2. Guide the CEREC Omnicam over the entire lingual distance in the
mesial direction over the prepared tooth.

D3534.208.01.13.02 04.2018 97
10.4.1.3.4 Approximal surface scan
Scan the approximal surfaces of the prepared tooth.

➢ Move the CEREC Omnicam in the occlusal direction to the
prepared tooth. Acquire the approximal surfaces in the distal and
mesial direction by using a wave motion in the occlusal, buccal, and
lingual direction over the prepared tooth.
To do so, tilt the surface by 15° in the distal and mesial direction to
gain a better view of the approximal contacts.
Notes:
● Remove the soft tissue.
● Cut away the moveable gingivae, so that only 2-5 mm gingivae
remains around the tooth.
● When performing this activity, be careful not to accidentally cut out
any areas that e.g. are located behind the model or are otherwise
cut away from the line.
● This cut must be completed during the ACQUISITION phase using
the cutter.
10.4.1.3.5 Buccal registration
A buccal registration can be used to establish contact with the
antagonist.
ü The jaw with the preparation is scanned.
1. Scan the occlusal, buccal and lingual view of the antagonist (see
the section “Occlusal scan [→ 96]”, “Buccal scan [→ 97]” and
“Lingual scan [→ 97]”).
2. Perform a buccal scan of the bite block prior to completing the
registration. This buccal scan should be carried out close-up to the
preparation. To acquire sufficient geometry, capture the teeth of the
upper and lower jaw as well as 5 mm of the respective gingival
areas.
10.4.1.3.6 Scanning the quadrant and jaw
The following scan regulation applies for the acquisition of a complete
quadrant or jaw arch.
The first (fourth) quadrant is scanned up to the opposite second front
tooth by moving the camera in parallel along the jaw arch.

terminal tooth, and scan it occlusally.
Tilt the camera by 45° in a palatinal direction (oral) and guide it from
the distal to the mesial.
2. Tilt the camera another 45° in a palatinal direction (oral) and move it
in a distal direction.
3. Tilt the camera by 90° on to the occlusal surface and move it in a
mesial direction.
4. Tilt the camera in a 45° buccal direction and move it back towards
the distal.
5. Then tilt the camera a further 45° in a buccal direction to a total of
90° and move it in a mesial direction again.

that has already been scanned, and guide the camera palatally
(orally) at a mesial tilt of up to 90° across the lingual surface of the
front teeth in a distal direction towards the terminal tooth.
2. Slight tilt the camera by 45°, so that the camera is only tilted by 45°
in a palatinal direction (oral) moving from the distal and back to the
mesial to the front teeth.
3. Once you have reached the area of the front tooth, guide the
camera 45° to the buccal side and tilt the camera by 45° from the
mesial to the distal direction.
4. Once you have reached the distal, tilt the camera by another 45°
(total of 90°) further towards the buccal and guide the camera from
the distal back to the mesial direction.
5. Once you have reached the area of the front tooth, tilt the camera in
an occlusal direction and guide the camera mesially to the occlusal
surfaces right to the back distal molars.

10.4.1.4 Taking acquisitions with the CEREC Omnicam
CAUTION
Hot surface!
The coated sapphire layer of the CEREC Omnicam is preheated in
the camera cradle. When removing the CEREC Omnicam from its
cradle, the surface temperature of the mirror sleeve can be up to
51°C. This may cause an unpleasant heat sensation on contact with a
person's skin or mucous membrane. These temperatures will not
damage the skin or mucosal membrane.
After removing the CEREC Omnicam from the camera cradle, the
temperature of the mirror sleeve drops within a few minutes (< 5
minutes) to less than 43°C. The CEREC Omnicam is therefore
suitable for use in the patient's mouth for an unlimited period of time.
At an ambient temperature from 30°C, only select the three lower
heater settings.
NOTE
Image brightness
The image brightness during the acquisition is controlled
automatically, so that there is always optimum image brightness,
largely independent of the distance between the CEREC Omnicam
and the tooth.
The surroundings of the tooth to be scanned should be as weakly
illuminated as possible. Avoid any type of external light. Switch off the
operating light.
IMPORTANT
Do not use cotton rolls in the scan area
Do not use any cotton rolls in the vicinity of the scan area.
Should any pieces of cotton roll contaminate this area, the
acquisitions will be inaccurate.
64 34 190 D3534
102 D3534.208.01.13.02 04.2018
CAUTION
Prevent cross-contamination
Germs can be transmitted to uncontaminated persons via the hands,
materials or objects.
➢ For hygiene reasons, wear a new set of disposable gloves for
each patient while using the CEREC Omnicam.
CAUTION
In the case of patients with allergies to nickel
Should the CEREC Omnicam mirror sleeve make contact with the
skin of patients allergic to nickel, allergic reactions may occur.
➢ Ensure that in the case of patients with nickel allergies, the parts
of the CEREC Omnicam mirror sleeve which may make contact
are protected from areas of skin.
WARNING
Danger of injury in the case of diagnosed epilepsy
Patients who have been diagnosed with epilepsy cannot be treated
with the CEREC Omnicam.
Dentists and dental assistants who have been diagnosed with
epilepsy cannot work with the CEREC Omnicam.

In the "Positioning" step, you can modify the position of the teeth. The
Tools teeth are not yet taken into account in the preparation margin in this
step and can be moved freely. The "Position and Rotate" and "Scale"
Positioning
tools are available to you for this purpose. Place the mouse above the
relevant tooth in order to display the tool handle. The new positioning
can be performed for each tooth, or you can group neighboring
Position and Rotate
restorations (Ctrl/shift key + left mouse button) and thus process several
teeth simultaneously. When you group the teeth, the software takes
account of the contact situation of the selected teeth. For example, this
Scale means that if one tooth in a group is enlarged, the others are reduced in
size. The same mechanism applies when positioning the teeth. The
teeth are adjusted in size to the modified conditions here, too.
Snap to Biojaw If "Linear" is checked, all grouped restorations are moved, enlarged or
reduced to the same extent. The linear function is only active if multiple
teeth are grouped.
With the "Snap to Biojaw" option, the initial position of the edge of the
preparation is ignored for the benefit of an even course of the
Constrained Adoption mandibular arch. This allows natural malpositions in the mandibular
arch to be compensated for to a certain degree.
If the "Constrained Adoption" function is checked (default), the initial
suggestion is adjusted once more in shape and position to
accommodate the contact situation, material thickness and the edge of
the preparation. If this is not desired, this option can be deactivated.
Then the suggestion is only calculated for the edge of the preparation
and the shape and positioning remains the same. This may mean that
material has to be manually applied so material wall thicknesses can be
maintained.
12.4 Editing the restoration

13.2.2.1 Grinding – production options
Grinding Fast
IMPORTANT
Loss of quality
Fast grinding may have a negative influence on the quality of the
restoration!
If desired, the grinding process can be accelerated for some materials.

You can activate the "Fast" button if you require this.
This mode is faster, however, the surface of the milled restoration is
slightly rougher.
In this mode the level of detail is automatically set to "High" and the
processing mode to "Fast".
Grinding Fine
This is the standard grinding mode and can be used for all indications
and materials.
processing mode to "Normal".
Grinding Extra Fine

In connection with an MC XL (4-motor machine), you have the
possibility of choosing the "Extra Fine" option.
You must equip your machine with the following instruments for this:
● In instrument set 1: Instruments of type "Extra Fine":
Left – CYLINDER BUR 12 EF,
Right – CYLINDER POINTED BUR 12 EF
● In instrument set 2: Instruments of type “Standard”.
Grinding times are around 100% longer.
In this mode the level of detail is automatically set to "Very High" and
the processing mode to "Normal".
IMPORTANT
The "Extra Fine" grinding option can only be selected for final
ceramics.
IMPORTANT
From the CEREC SW 4.6, the "Occlusal Offset" parameter is set in
the MANUFACTURE phase. This value relates solely to the grinding
result and is not available for milling. Apply or remove material in the
occlusal direction over the entire occlusal surface with this setting.
The effects are not visible in the software.

13.2.2.2 Milling – production options
Fast milling
Eliminates special processes and increases cutting parameters as well
as the path spacing for optimum editing times with very good quality.
This mode is only available if the "Margin Thickness" parameter is set to
100 µm or more for the restoration.
processing mode to "Fast".
Fine milling
Comprises the same process steps as the "Fast" stage but with reduced
path spacing.
processing mode to "Normal".
Customized milling
This mode provides greater flexibility with the individual settings for the
level of detail and the processing mode.
13.2.2.3 Veneer mode
Veneer mode
Veneer mode ensures that grinding and milling takes even the finest
structures into account. This stops the veneer and anterior crowns
binding.
13.2.3 Exporting a restoration

You can export individual restorations in order to
● process them with the CEREC CAM SW software
● save them for shipment to infiniDent or
● save them in a different format.
TIP: To reuse blocks which have been ground, export the restoration to
the CEREC CAM SW. It is not possible to call up blocks which have
already been ground in the CEREC SW milling preview.
CEREC CAM restora- The restoration is stored in *.cam file for-

tions mat. This file format can be read only by
CEREC CAM SW software.
File restoration The restoration is saved as an *.i.clab file.
This file format can be processed by in-
finiDent.
If a corresponding license is available, the
restoration also can be saved as an *.stl
file. This format can be processed by any
other program that can interpret STL data.
For STL exports you can choose whether
you wish to also want to export the bore-
hole or not (place or remove a check mark
before "Close screw hole").

Nature and source of the danger
Sirona will not be held liable for the further processing of *.stl data in
other/external software.
13.3 Block size selection page palette

Block Sizes
In the "Block Sizes" page palette, you can select the right block size.
The last selected block size is always preselected to start with.
IMPORTANT
The block sizes which are smaller than the currently selected
restoration are indicated with a yellow warning sign.
13.4 Positioning restorations in the block

You can use the positioning tools to move the block around the
restoration, turn it, and determine the sprue location.
The tools are described in the “Tools” section.
2 pinned connection options are available for grinding purposes.
Nesting the restoration in a block is always attempted (multiple sprue
locations). To take full advantage of the block, the software switches to
one sprue location for individual elements. You can generate a nest
again at any time by selecting a larger block.
13.5 Changing block sizes

The block size is automatically suggested by the software. You can
change the block size in the "Block Sizes" side palette.
➢ Click on the selected block size in the side palette. Blocks that are
not suitable on account of the size are marked by an additional
symbol in the page palette.
Ä The restoration is positioned in the block selected by you.
13.6 Starting the production process

Once you have completed the design and assessed the restoration in
the preview, you can produce the restoration.
For further information on milling or grinding, please see the
