Correlation and Function in Cerec 3D - What is New?

The practical use of the Function program mode in Cerec 3D is demonstrated in the present patient case. The author performed almost all restorations with the previous Cerec 3 software using the Correlation mode. This has not changed with the new 3D program. Correlation is now used almost always jointly with Function. Whereas the Function mode in Cerec 3 was still an independent option, Function is now selected automatically by the program when optical impressions of the antagonist are taken.
