Check out the videos in the inlab section. Our adjunct faculty member Dr. Mike Skramstad is becoming quite the expert in the inlab software. He has created a series of videos for those of you that want to mill your own abutments. You can do this with the CEREC and the soon to be FDA approved (sources say sometime in April or May) Abutment Software for the CEREC Inlab. Sirona will showcase this software at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting but you can get a sneak peek right here. What you will need to fabricate abutments chairside are the following: Inlab software - free from your CEREC specialist but you will need a dongle to mill anything from the software- Dongles range in price but will add about $10 to the cost of milling your restorations Tibase assembly - about $150 - this is a guess on the price as this has not been released in the US although our neighbors across the pond in Europe are already doing this Sintering oven - because you will mill zirconia as a part of the abutment complex, you will need to sinter zirconia or you may choose to send this off to the laboratory. Watch all the videos in the inlab section. Enjoy this new feature of your CEREC.
