Exocad design from first crown to full-arch implant rehabilitation — 23 screen-recorded lessons by a CAD/CAM technician
Dental technician Maxim Ashortia, whose tooth library ships inside the Exocad program, walks through the software module by module in Digital Design in EXOCAD. In 8 h 18 min you move from navigation and single crowns through bridges, abutments, bars, splints, telescopes and dentures to virtual articulator work and CT-based mounting.

What you’ll be able to do
- Set up a project and design full-contour and cut-back crowns and bridges, including cement gap and pontic shaping
- Model inlays, onlays, overlays, veneers and two-part overpress crowns
- Design custom abutments, screw-retained crowns and bars with attachments from scan-body data
- Mount models in the virtual articulator, including CT-derived jaw relations, and check dynamic contacts
- Produce splints, gingival correction stents, custom trays and printable split-cast models
- Build a full-arch implant rehabilitation and a complete denture digitally
Inside the course
Fixed restorations step by step
The opening lessons set out the interface, tooth libraries and saving for milling or printing, then build full-anatomy and reduced bridges with ceramic cutbacks, indirect restorations with margin detection and insertion axis, and virtual preparation shells for provisionals.
Implants and frameworks
Abutment design covers emergence profile and subgingival shape; the bar lesson adds attachments and alternative connections; a 57-minute session assembles an implant-supported full-arch case on the articulator, and a separate lesson designs a complete denture using basic and full model analysis.
Appliances, models and extras
Shorter demonstrations handle split-cast printing models with removable dies, occlusal splints and mouthguards, gingival correction templates, primary telescopes, custom trays, smile design from photographs, and practical tricks for measurement and project management.
About the instructor
Ashortia has more than ten years in CAD/CAM, has trained over 2,000 technicians and dentists, and teaches 3Shape, Zirkonzahn and Cerec as well as Exocad.

Before you buy
Does it teach composite layering?
No. Despite occasional mentions of aesthetics, every lesson is a software design demonstration in Exocad; there is no hands-on composite technique.
Are all lessons narrated walkthroughs?
Most are commented screen recordings, but the last two are short practical examples and the 81-minute full wax-up is a long working demonstration with little explanation.
Do I need my own Exocad licence?
To follow along in practice, yes; the course shows the software but does not include it.
Do I get CME credit or a certificate?
No. Clinicapedia provides the educational content only — no CME or CE credits, MOC points or certificates of completion are included with this product.
