fig. 13: The next step is to click on the
Scanbody Head. In short, click at the tip
of the scanbody triangle (shown with the
red arrow). This will prompt the software
to place the margin on the tissue
(Gingivamask) for editing.
fig. 14: In the Edit Base Line step, we
simply designate the margin based on the
crest of the tissue (Gingivamask). You
have the ability to edit as necessary. Since
the abutment margins are premanu-
factured to the tibase (meso block), it is
unnecessary to draw the margins on the
actual titanium base (TiBase).
fig. 15: You now have the ability to
Define Restoration Axis. This allows
you to create angled abutments up to
20 degrees on the TiBase. In this image,
the red dotted line signifies the long axis
of the implant and the yellow arrow
shows the axis of the custom abutment.
You can alter the abutment axis by
manipulating the yellow dot in the
“bull’s-eye” to the left. In this case,
I had a Biocopy image to guide the
correct axis of the restoration based on
the final position of the crown.

Creating custom
abutments has
brought yet another
innovative feature
to the chairside
CEREC software.
