This video presentation will demonstrate my CEREC workflow for anterior BioCopy restorations. We will be designing two central incisors using the BioCopy technique, and I will review the critical aspects that make BioCopy successful.

The key to this workflow is the quality of the BioCopy image. BioCopy is only as good as the information captured, so particular attention must be given to how the embrasures are imaged and how the copy line is drawn into those embrasures. Proper management of these details allows us to accurately reproduce the contours and anatomy that were established in the diagnostic prototype.

This step is especially important because significant diagnostic planning has already taken place before the teeth are ever prepared. By the time we begin the restorative phase, we should have confidence that the final design has been established and validated through the prototype process.

In addition, I will review my method for creating a virtual facebow from a retracted photograph. This allows us to orient the model accurately within the software, establish the smile plane, and use facial references to guide the design process. By combining a well-executed BioCopy with proper facial orientation, we can create restorations that closely replicate the approved prototype while maintaining harmony with the patient's facial aesthetics.
