I was stuck with managing some of the tricky settings in exocad for doing an all-on-x case wax-up, but XOcademy came to my rescue. I signed up and within a few minutes after watching some of the videos on there, I’m done. Wish I would have seen this site sooner, would have saved me a few hours…. LOL HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Courses
exoplan – single maxillary implant
In this first course on exoplan, we review the planning and placement of a single maxillary implant. We start with a CBCT DICOM set and upper and lower optical scans. For this first course, we are demonstrating implant planning for a previously extracted site.
Full Denture – Single Arch
In this course we will go through the wizard steps for the new full denture design definition of a single arch.
Printed Dentures
Create a monolithic denture to print in a single resin, or design a denture base to print separately from denture teeth.
Quick Tip – Webview Communications
Find out how to export your case and open in the exocad webview app or website in this Quick Tip.
Virtual Bracket Removal
Learn how to virtually remove ortho brackets to make retainers prior to the debonding / debracketing appointment.
Positioning Jig
Designing a positioning jig is a quick way to make sure your provisionals are correctly seated without knowing where the margins are to start.
Quick Tip – Inverting Normals
This Quick Tip reviews how to flip or invert the normals of the .STL mesh. This allows me to scan an impression and invert it to use it as a scan in the workflow.
Provisional – Shell Temporaries
Create provisional, shell temporary or interim restorations beginning with only a pre-operative jaw scan.
Quick Tip – Materials Configuration Tool
This Quick Tip reviews how to change the default material settings you select in DentalDB. This helps me to ensure I have my preferred settings as defaults so I don’t miss any changes I need to make for every design and keep my restoration designs consistent between patients.
Customizations
This course will review the customizations you can make to configuration files within exocad.
Crown – Single Tooth v2.2
This course will walk you through the workhorse of your practice production: a single crown on a natural tooth.
Mockup Preview – Single Tooth Mirrored
Let’s be honest, we’re not always doing full arch treatment. Sometimes we only want a single tooth to be a mirrored replica. This course will show you how to make a model of a mirrored tooth for case presentation or making a template.
Model Creator – v2.2
This is a full walkthrough of the Model Creator module for printed models, with updates for v2.2 Valletta. New features include independent die insertion directions, gingival masks, and 3D printer presets.
Quick Tip – Bite Splint Dynamic Occlusion
Designing bite splints is pretty quick with exocad. Let’s make them even quicker! This Quick Tip demonstrates incorporating dynamic occlusion in your bite splint designs automatically.
WMW – Single Crown – Natural Tooth – BioCopy
This WMW Course is designing a single crown on a natural tooth using the direct copy function. We’re copying a crown form to the new design so there should be minimal adjustments needed.
Watch Me Work – WMW – Bite Splint
The new courses “Watch Me Work” will catalog the digital workflow without explaining each step and setting. In the first WMW, Bite Splint, we design a functional bite splint.
Quick Tip – Merge & Save Restorations – PMMA Over Bar
If you’ve ever gotten to the end of the design wizard and can’t find your saved files, this quick tip will end all your frustrations.
Quick Tip – Virtual Articulator Settings & Automatic Articulation
We review some new virtual articulator settings and automatic articulation feature.
Secondary Substructure
We design an implant supported bar substructure, then another secondary substructure that will be cemented on top with retention pins.
Interim Partial Denture
We design an interim partial denture (flipper) with a reduced labial surface to achieve better esthetics.
Mockup Preview
The goal of this course is to create a smile design waxup and edit the design and scans to eventually print models for a treatment plan presentation.
Hybrid Sub- and Suprastructures
By the conclusion of this course you should be able to convert your removable substructure into a fixed hybrid substructure and secondly, fabricate a suprastructure from a different file and material.
Thimble Crowns
Thimble crowns is a variation in the generic tooth cutback library. This course walks you through designing a full arch of thimble crown cutback preparations and includes gingiva design cutback.
Denture Base
This is a workaround course to show a way to make a denture base with tooth sockets without using the denture module.
Conversion Denture
Having the most complete prosthesis you can fabricate prior to a patient appointment will save you time and effort chairside, and make for a stronger transitional prosthesis.
Quick Tip – 3D Optimization
Some options or functionality is only available when you have an optimized construction of merged parts.
Screw Retained Crown and Custom Abutment
This course explains how to make a screw retained crown on a custom abutment. The typical workflow only allows for a cement retained crown on a custom abutment.
Insertion Jig
This three lesson course describes how to use the bite splint module to design an insertion jig for custom abutments.
Quick Tip – Screw Hole Design
Have you ever wondered what those circles indicate, or how to isolate design areas for a screw hole?
All-On-X – Part Two
Take the virtual waxup from Part One and create an implant supported prosthesis.
Quick Tip – Insertion Jig – FREE
In this Quick Tip, we review a novel way to make an abutment insertion jig using exocad and Meshmixer.
Quick Tip – Virtual Extraction
In this exocademy Quick Tip, we’re going to review a method to virtually extract a tooth before we begin the design process.
Custom Abutment
This course will walk you through designing a cement retained single crown on a custom designed abutment.
Single Crown – Implant – Screw Retained
Design a screw retained crown on a prefabricated stock implant abutment.
Bridge – Tooth Supported
This course will walk through the steps to design a 3-unit fixed partial denture that is all tooth supported.
Quick Tip – Color Scanning with CS3600
Color scans are nice to view in exocad when designing our restorations, especially when making smile design previews for our doctors and patients.
Quick Tip – Change Reconstruction Type
Did you forget a small step in your Job Definition? Don’t worry! You can change it in the middle of your design workflow with the Change Reconstruction Type expert tool.
Single Crown – Tooth
Single unit restorations are the bread and butter of most dental practices. This course walks you through the steps of creating a single unit crown, designed either as a copy of a neighboring tooth or from a tooth library.
Quick Tip – Model Creator Implant Library
This is an explanation why you cannot import the CADapp implant library into the Model Creator implant library.
All-On-X – Part One
This is part one of a two part course series. Part one takes initial records to designing a clinical waxup that can be used for records verification or waxup try-in.
