Creating a Coping-Abutment Co-design

Prerequisite

The abutment-coping co-design situation must have been saved from the NobelProcera Scan module.

Steps

From the NobelProcera Front End Manager, select the situation from the Abutment situation list.

Note: The coping-abutment have their own icon variations in the situation list:

: abutment is ready for design but coping is not ready for design.
: abutment is designed and coping is ready for design.
: co-design is designed.
: co-design (both objects) sent to production.

From the NobelProcera Abutment module, design the abutment as required.

Note: The Situation viewer shows the coping diagram on top of the abutment, which indicates that the situation is a co-design (standard CAD in the picture).
1. In case of a planned cutback coping in a co-design situation, adjust the crown proposal orientation, scaling and local deformations. The crown proposal design will persist once in the NobelProcera Crown and Bridge module.
Click Finish and exit the NobelProcera Abutment module.

Note: Since the coping design depends of the abutment shape, modifying the abutment after designing the coping makes the coping obsolete. Consequently, if the user confirms his action in the displayed warning, the obsolete coping is deleted.
Prepare the situation in the Situation Builder. It is mandatory to segment soft tissue information and any jaw objects (adjacents, etc.) selected at scan time before the situation is opened in the NobelProcera Crown and Bridge module.
1. Open the situation from the Situation Builder module and perform the segmentation of the adjacent teeth and soft tissue objects.
2. Click Finish.
From the NobelProcera Front End Manager, select the co-design situation from the Crown and Bridge situation list.
Note: A half-designed co-design should show this icon (abutment is designed and coping is ready for design):
From the NobelProcera Crown and Bridge module, design the coping as usual.

Note: The software will construct the default coping with a full collar 0.2 mm high to optimize the design for the best fit quality.

Note: The margin line design is the same that was saved from the Abutment module and should already be valid.
Click Finish and exit the NobelProcera Crown and Bridge module.

Result

A complete abutment-coping co-design situation is created and ready to order.
