The system requirements for CEREC surgical Guides are as follows:
CEREC 4.0.2 software with an Open GALILEOS Implant license
CEREC MC XL or inLab MC XL milling unit
GALILEOS or ORTHOPHOS XG 3D system with the implant planning software “GALILEOS Implant V1.9 with SP1”
Note: Milling unit's MCX or MCXL can be used without having to update if the serial numbers on the MCX serial number start with or higher than 231001. MCXL's serial number to start with or higher than 129001. Unit's below these serial numbers require the left motor to be upgraded to mill with a carbide bur. Possibly late 2013 units may have been upgraded already.
Implantology with CEREC
Implantology is one of the biggest growth areas in a dental practice. The CEREC system is the ideal way for you as a dentist to keep many processes – and their added value – in your own practice. Regardless of whether you fit implants or also implant them yourself. CEREC supports you.
Implant treatment in just one session with directly screw-retained crowns or custom abutments
New materials for the production of temporary implant restorations
Implanting with CEREC Guide 2, the fastest and most cost-effective way to create a surgical guide
You can fabricate a surgical guide in less than one hour with CEREC using optical impressions and 3D X-ray scans with a Sirona X-ray machine. You can mill the surgical guide from a PMMA polymer block right in your practice on the CEREC MC XL Practice Lab or CEREC MC X milling machine. You no longer need to create a model and fabricate an X-ray template with reference bodies. Thus CEREC Guide 2 is by far the fastest and most cost-effective way to produce a surgical guide.

Chairside treatment in just one session
You can design temporary or permanent custom abutments and implant crowns (two-part) or screw-retained (one-part) crowns and produce them on the milling machine chairside, for example using the MC XL Practice Lab. Sirona and its partners offer a large variety of materials for both methods. The screw-retained crown can also be used as a gingiva shaper to form an individual emergence profile.

TSB # 1: The acquisition unit does not load OS after pressing the power button (repeated message stating no signal and auto shut-off). This typically occurs after transport as a result of micro-vibrations incurred during the shipping process. Fortunately, there is a simple fix. The memory and video cards need to be re-seated, or in other words, removed from the motherboard and simply placed back in. Click on the photos to enlarge and instruction text will appear after leaving the mouse still on the picture for a moment. Below the picture slider is a video on how to remove the PC from a CEREC 3.
