Discover the full potential of iBAR and iBridge from complex implant hybrids to zirconia esthetic overlays in this exclusive masterclass led by the creator himself.

Introduction by Mike Teiniker
Advanced iBAR & iBridge Masterclass
We start with an implant-supported hybrid featuring a distal extension. You’ll learn to place and batch-edit tubes, generate cones, draw a clean basic design, build and refine the cutter, then add safety material and separate the bar for a robust result.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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