In order to to design and generate Monoblock CAM output with Full denture (see screenshot above), please follow this workflow: 

To create the order form select the teeth, then in the order form settings set it up as follows : 

  1. Select “Artificial tooth type”, hover over the + icon and select the material, color, manufacturing process and any other specifications you may need
  2. Without deselecting the teeth, select “Gingiva” - Dentures gingiva and make sure it's set as monoblock.

    The order form should look similar to this:In case monoblock is not selected, hover over the green + icon and you can select it from the “Type” menu

    Monoblock will generate a single STL output file containing both gingiva and teeth (one file for each jaw).
    Base with artificial teeth (milled reduction) will generate separate STL output files for each jaw (gingiva and teeth) which can then be exported to a milling machine for reduction.
    Base with artificial teeth (manual reduction) will generate separate STL output files that can be 3D printed then reduced manually.
    Base with designed teeth will generate separate STL output files for teeth and gingiva ready to produce without reduction and will thus allow the most flexibility during the design workflow stages.
     
  3. Proceed with the design in Dental Designer. You can check the video tutorial from this link for reference. 
  4. When you reach the end of the workflow, the design will be saved.
  5. CAM output will be generated automatically and should consist of 2 STL files (a monoblock containing both gingiva and teeth for each jaw):
