One digital pathway from preparation to seating — scan, design, select, mill, sinter & seat. Single crowns, inlays, veneers and long-span bridges in zirconia, glass ceramic or PMMA, on a thread of data that runs from chairside to furnace without leaving the Auralis workflow.
Every stage hands its data to the next — the scan becomes the design, the design selects the material, the material sets the milling strategy, and the sintering cycle finishes what the preparation began.
A digital impression replaces the tray: the prepared tooth, the adjacent contacts and the opposing dentition are captured intraorally in minutes, with the bite registered on the same scan path. Margin clarity, undercuts and occlusal clearance are checked on screen before the patient leaves the chair.
Conventional workflows stay welcome: alginate or silicone impressions and stone models are digitised on the bench scanner, so referral cases and remakes enter the same digital file.
The case opens in Auralis Studio with the preparation already oriented and the antagonist registered. The margin line is traced and locked first — everything else is built around it: anatomy from the tooth library, proximal contacts set to the neighbours, occlusion adjusted against the bite scan.
For bridges, connector cross-sections are sized to the span and to the material selected at Stage 03 — a posterior long-span bridge carries the bulk it needs (connectors in the ≥9 mm² class, by material tier) before it ever reaches the mill.
Fixed prosthodontics is a material decision as much as a shape decision: translucency where the light passes, strength where the load concentrates, and a provisional that protects the preparation while the final work is made. The table is the Auralis selection logic.
| Restoration & site | Recommended material | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Anterior single crowns | Lumen | High translucency with a layered gradient — reads like natural enamel in the aesthetic zone |
| Glass-ceramic anterior crowns | Glass Ceramic | Chosen when the abutment shade is normal and adhesive bonding is possible — maximum translucency in the aesthetic zone |
| Anterior three-unit bridges | Glass Ceramic · Lumen | Glass ceramic only within its boundary — short anterior spans with adequate connector cross-section; beyond that, Lumen zirconia carries the bridge |
| Posterior single crowns | Multi | The all-round balance of strength and translucency for everyday posterior load |
| Posterior bridges & long spans | Forte | High strength and fracture resistance where connectors carry the load — posterior bridge connectors sized to the ≥9 mm² class by material tier |
| Veneers, inlays & onlays | Glass Ceramic | Etchable and bondable — conservative preparations held by adhesion rather than bulk |
| Post-and-core crowns | Glass Ceramic · Lumen | Fibre post where aesthetics and a dentine-like modulus matter — crowned in glass or Lumen; cast metal post where the canal is short or the load is high — masked under zirconia |
| Provisional crowns & bridges | PMMA | Milled chairside or in the lab — protects the preparation and previews the design until seating day |
The nesting file loads onto Auralis Mill: five-axis toolpaths carve the full anatomy — occlusal fissures, marginal ridges, connector curves — out of zirconia, glass ceramic or PMMA. Mill 5X and Mill 5X Duo cover dry milling for zirconia and PMMA as well as wet milling for glass ceramic, so single crowns and long-span bridges leave the disc with margins intact.
For two-visit cases and long-span work, a milled PMMA provisional is seated while the definitive restoration is made — holding the space, protecting the preparation and previewing the design until seating day.
Sinter Flash brings zirconia to full density on a speed cycle of about forty minutes (single crowns and short spans) — the single-visit zirconia crown stops being a promise and becomes a schedule. Staining and glazing then carry the prescribed shade into the surface, from cervical depth to incisal translucency.
At the chair the pathway closes: try-in, contact and occlusion check, then fixation to the material's protocol — adhesive bonding for glass ceramic, conventional or adhesive cementation for zirconia. The seating record is filed into the same case that began at Stage 01.
The five stages collapse into a single kit. Every line links to the product page — specify the full crown & bridge workflow or start with one stage and grow.
