retraction (laser, paste, cord, etc.) and
if you can see the margin, the CEREC
Bluecam will capture the margin clearly.
The same holds true with Omnicam
–
with one additional enhancement.
With full-color, we are also aided by the
ability to distinguish tooth structure
from tissue, making seeing your margins
that much easier. In fact, I have found
myself not needing cord as much as
before. In this case, due to the significant
inteproximal subgingival margins,
retraction cord was used.
Figs. 12-14: These photos show the depth
and the ease of marking the margins
thanks to full-color Omnicammodels.
Figs. 15-16: An enhancement to the Biocopy
design technique with Omnicam is the
ability to capture full-contour data
without any chance of error. This allows
us to extend the Biocopy line completely
around and literally copy the entire
tooth when desired. This is proving to be
absolutely phenomenal in anterior cases
where height of contours and emergence
are critical for esthetics.
Figs. 17-20: Since the release of CEREC 4.0,
we have the ability to design multiple
units. With the Biocopy data outlined,
the software then does its “tooth dance”
and designs the restorations.

Figs. 7-8: A close-up photo of the teeth
prepared for full-coverage restorations,
with complete removal of decay and
Omnicam data capture.
Figs. 9-11: The data is then processed and
the models virtually articulated using
Buccal Bite. Please note that Buccal Bite
and opposing data are not necessary
with Biocopy technique.
A common misconception is
that CEREC is not appropriate for
subgingival dentistry and/or that you
can’t properly distinguish margins when
they are deep. This is not the case with
CEREC Bluecam and even less so with
CEREC Omnicam. With appropriate
