Highlights
DentalCAM
DentalCAM now with full screen function
You can now display the program in full screen by clicking on the following icon in the top right-hand corner of the DentalCAM window: 
(E5) New machining function: Anterior tooth machining
The anterior tooth editing machining function can be used to reduce the amount of residual material caused by narrow interdental spaces or undercuts when machining selected tooth surfaces.
Example: Residual material display of anterior teeth without anterior tooth machining
Example: Residual material display of the same anterior teeth with anterior tooth machining
(N4+) New block holder supported for blocks with PrograMill mount
As of this version, you can use blocks for PrograMill systems from Ivoclar. For this purpose, you need machine-specific extra equipment
Physical component which must be obtained separately and which adds new functionality to your machine. with the PrograMill shank adapter.
Extra equipment Physical component which must be obtained separately and which adds new functionality to your machine. can be obtained from your customer service provider.
Block holder for 2 blocks
Example: block for PrograMill systems
Improved quality of cavities and basal surfaces for crowns and bridges with reduced detail
Optimizing the processing strategies increases the machining quality of cavities and basal surfaces of crowns and bridges with reduced detail.
Additional tools are used for this purpose:
-
Cavities: 0.6-mm milling cutter when activated
-
Basal surfaces: 1-mm milling cutter, and 0.6-mm milling cutter when activated
To activate optional tools, see Optional tools.
Additional features and changes
DentalCAM
(N4+) All positions of the block holder can now be used for CAD/CAM integration with exocad ChairsideCAD
exocad has removed the restriction to the middle position of the block holder in exocad ChairsideCAD. Depending on the block type, you can now use additional positions of the block holder. To do this, you must update to the latest version of exocad ChairsideCAD.
Scrolling through lists with mouse wheel is now possible in all applications
You can now use the mouse wheel to scroll anywhere, e.g., through drop-down lists.
Hybrid ceramic blocks can now also be milled
Up to now, hybrid ceramic blocks have been ground. As of this version, blocks from this material group can be milled as an alternative.
You do not select the desired machining type in the settings for blank types. Instead, there is now an additional entry in the material list for each affected blank type with the addition C-tool after the name.
Example:
-
Implemented before 8.09: Nacera Hybrid -B – Blank type with the machining type Grinding.
-
Implemented with 8.09: Nacera Hybrid C-tool -B: The same blank type with the machining type Milling.

Improved import of XML files for prefabricated abutment blanks
The XML files that DentalCAM reads when importing prefabricated abutment blanks are now evaluated better. For example, file names with certain special characters such as umlauts are now possible.
Larger program window for ChairsideCAM
The program window size of ChairsideCAM is now identical to the program window size of DentalCAM.
The following entry also applies to ChairsideCAM: DentalCAM now with full screen function
Standard file selection window
From now on, DentalCAM uses the standard Windows file selection window in all applications.
DentalCNC
(E4) Improved test and calibration specimen
Due to an adapted shape, test and calibration specimens can now be milled better.
The following tools are used for this purpose:
-
As before: P250-F1-40-T
-
Additionally: P200-R1-40
Faster import of NC files
The import of NC files when using a third-party CAM program is now faster.
Bug Fixes
DentalCAM
Scroll bar in the blank archive is still displayed when the last blank is deleted
If the blank was deleted at the end of the list in the blank archive, DentalCAM hid the scroll bar. As a result, the non-visible entries were no longer accessible.
This behavior has been corrected.
As a result, the order of the blanks in the blank archive is slightly changed once after the update. No blanks are removed.
DentalCNC
Preview images for third-party CAM software are displayed correctly
The preview images for blanks when using a third-party CAM program were not displayed correctly.
This behavior has been corrected.
