Designing implant prosthetics in exocad, screen by screen: custom abutments, screw-retained bridges, All-on-4 and printed full arches
Michael McClure, a US general dentist and level 3 exocad trainer, records five software sessions totalling 5 h 18 min in EXOCAD Implant Restorations – Step-by-step Video Guide 2023. You start with DentalDB project setup and the DentalCAD interface, then design a single anterior implant crown, multi-unit abutments and bridges, full-arch hybrid prostheses and a same-day printed restoration.

What you’ll be able to do
- Create projects, materials and parameters in DentalDB and switch between Wizard and Expert modes
- Locate implants from scan bodies and freeform the scan to shape the emergence profile
- Design custom abutments with angled screw channels, including a “screwmentable” option
- Plan multi-unit bridges with correct insertion path and engaging or non-engaging abutments
- Convert a wax-up into a screw-retained full-arch or All-on-4 hybrid with sound occlusion
- Merge intraoral, photogrammetry and wax-up data for a same-day printed prosthesis
Inside the course
Getting comfortable in the software
The first lesson explains the database, basic indications, hotkeys and the two working modes, then warms up with an anatomic crown and a three-unit bridge.
Single and multiple implants
Two lessons walk through cement- and screw-retained designs, from scan body alignment and virtual extraction to the final superstructure, with clinical cases used to explain abutment choice.
Full-arch work and same-day delivery
The final sessions design hybrid dentures and overdentures, discuss occlusal planning for implant-supported arches, and show an intraoral scanning protocol feeding a printed restoration delivered on the day of surgery.

Before you buy
Which software do I need to practise alongside the videos?
exocad DentalDB and DentalCAD with the implant module; the course does not supply a licence.
Will a 2023 recording still match the current exocad interface?
Core workflows change slowly, but menus and icons may differ in newer releases.
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.
