Introduction by Mike Teiniker

Advanced iBar — Implant Hybrid

An implant-supported hybrid with distal extension. Mike walks you through every decision: tube placement, batch editing, cone generation, clean bar design, cutter creation and refinement, safety material, and final separation. Every step explained with the "why," not just the "how."

Make Tubes & Cones

03:08

Place tubes from top view, batch-edit all tubes at once, and generate cones; learn vertex placement and quick fixes if a cone doesn’t cover correctly.

Draw the Basic Design

08:33

Lay down a smooth, shallow path; avoid 90° corners, watch bar thickness, and use quick measuring to confirm minimums.

Create & Edit the Cutter

13:39

Extrude from the correct view, remesh to a solid cutter, and begin targeted edits (push/pull, heat map checks).

Safety Zone & Separate

23:16

Add safety material (thickness math made simple), adjust around screw heads, accept thickness, and separate cleanly for a finished metal structure.

iBridge on Tooth Preps (High Bridge)

On a high-bridge with prepped teeth, we patch thin zones, then follow the same iBar logic: tubes & cones from tooth margins, basic design, cutter creation, blockout verification, safety material, and separation with precise cement space.

Make Tubes & Cones (Tooth Preps)

36:19

Select edge loops or outline manually; create tubes and coping-like cones with thickness appropriate to your equipment.

Draw the Basic Design

41:26

Keep the path shallow and outside where needed to preserve thickness through the span.

Create & Edit the Cutter

44:45

Extrude/cut, angle as needed, relax if the mesh collides, then edit with proportional controls; use “Refresh Cutter” after bigger edits.

Blockout

52:00

Run a quick survey, detect undercuts in transparent mode, create the passive model — a fast step that protects fit.

Safety Zone & Separate

54:29

Add/adjust safety zone, accept thickness, set staged cement space (e.g., 50 µm + additional layer), and separate for milling-friendly geometry.

iBridge with Esthetic Zone

We repeat the iBridge flow, then switch to Additional Tools to carve an esthetic facial window. You’ll edit the cutter, verify thickness/undercuts, and finally separate the hybrid for a metal-lingual + zirconia-facial solution.

Make Tubes & Cones (Tooth Preps)

1:00:24

Loop-select margins (or outline), generate cones at your chosen minimal thickness for a predictable internal space.

Draw the Basic Design

1:03:05

Lay a clean, continuous path; keep curves gentle and avoid inside intrusions that thin the bar.

Create & Model the Cutter

1:05:16

Extrude/cut/angle, remesh, then edit and “Refresh Cutter” as you correct areas; perform quick fit checks (blockout/heat map) and accept thickness.

Additional Tools (Esthetic Window)

1:18:11

Select and remove the facial portion, extrude the cutter inward to define the zirconia overlay zone, keeping perimeters smooth and milling-friendly.

Separate

1:21:12

Return to separation to finalize the hybrid: metal on the lingual, zirconia on the facial — ready for export and fabrication.
