How to Fix Partial Interproximal Contact in CEREC
Dr. Mark Flemmaing
CDOCS Faculty
This quick tip video shows how to diagnose and correct a partial interproximal contact caused by tooth rotation in a biocopy case using the model axis adjustment in your CAD/CAM software. In just a few steps, clinicians can achieve a full, accurate contact and avoid sending suboptimal restorations to manufacture.
- Notice the partial contact and go to Model Axis to check how the tooth is sitting in the model.
- Identify whether the tooth is rotated relative to the interproximal contact.
- Adjust the model axis so the tooth sits at a right angle to the contact.
- Confirm the change and go back to Design.
- Recheck the contact once the new design loads. It should now show a full contact.
