title: Correlation and function in Cerec 3.
abstract: The Correlation and Function modes are valuable assistants for an anatomical occlusal surface design in the Cerec method. Because of the extensive improvements of the Cerec 3 software, particularly the Correlation mode considerably simplifies the clinical procedure. Correlation works so accurately that even with small restorations, provided that the initial situation is anatomically correct, a second exposure is worthwhile, since the intraoral corrections on the occlusal surface are reduced to a minimum by the use of Correlation. The Correlation algorithm also brings somewhat incongruent exposures into exact alignment. With this principle and the enormous progress made in the hardware, further exceptional development of the Cerec occlusal surface can be expected.
