The Procera CAD/CAM fabrication process involves digitally recording the shape of your die in a computer using a touch-style scanner. The data collected from the scanner is interpreted by specialized software and displayed on a monitor. An experienced technician then examines the file in detail and marks the margins around all 360º of the unit. The final data is then used to mill a new die that has been expanded to accommodate for the shrinkage of the alumina or zirconia sintering process. The alumina is applied and sintered. The external aspect of the coping is then milled to an exact depth resulting in the final thickness of the unit. This process also yields extremely accurate reproductions of your waxed-up custom abutments in titanium, alumina or zirconia.
