I am making a series of instructional videos for anterior zirconia applications, zirconia options, and the finishing process. Zirconia aesthetics options and support liquid ceramics provide a new look for using anterior zirconia aesthetic restorations.

Custom programming the Programat CS6 for Ivocolor and MiYO Esthetic video. Two drying times can be worked with. The Glaze dry time cycle is 14:10 minutes. Using the Cryst drying cycle will reduce the overall cycle time to 11:20 minutes. I have not observed any bubbling when using the faster cycle. Experiment and see what works best for your results.

Below are the firing Parameters for the Programat CS6 for MiYO Esthetic. Two drying times can be worked with. The Glaze dry time cycle is 15:00 minutes. Using the Cryst drying cycle will reduce the overall cycle time to 12:10 minutes. I have not observed any bubbling when using the faster cycle. Jensen recommends the 15-minute cycle. Experiment and see what works best for your results.

MiYO Esthetic has been a game changer for making zirconia restorations more life-like and ceramics. Considered a brush on ceramic, the colors have a special translucency, providing a depth effect like no other ceramic coloring system. Recently Jensen provided an 16 minute firing program. Below is the firing forumula for furnance programing.

A thirty-year dream coming true because of digital dentistry and a dream. This video will highlight my digital studio lab bench at my homestead. This is where I love to be when not in my dental office.

In the last ten years, I have applied various glazes for e.max, starting with Crystall, then Ceram and Colors, Ivoclor, and now MiYO 850. Each one has improved the outcome for the final result. What I have learned from teaching all of these products on e.max through the years is that the colors and glaze with MiYO 850 are more forgiving and natural looking due to their translucent nature than any other system I have used. In all my 30-plus years of teaching, never have I seen such a positive and emotional response to learning and mastery as I have observed with MiYO. My main motivation for teaching is passing on significant valuedRead more

This last year has been a good year for chairside CAD/CAM. The Primemill has come to its own with mill quality for both ceramics and zirconia. The Extra Fine Mill for ceramics provides superior fit and margins, including e.max. The Primemill is seamless for zirconia quality mills with newer, high-strength, and aesthetic zirconias available. It has been a good year!

This was an excellent interview with Dr. Steve Shiffenhaus on his review of treating dentin for maximizing bond strength and avoiding post-treatment sensitivity. This video clip is one of the highlights of the full interview. The full video interview can be viewed at the following link. Full Dr. Shiffenhaus inteverview.
