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.

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!

A new part of this website is a Q&A response to questions through the message center and social media, which will benefit others in the dental theater and CEREC applications. This Q & A addresses selecting e.max shade and translucency for posterior onlays and the best milling strategy for milling onlays with the MC XL.  The brands that I use for posterior milled composites is Tetric CAD and Cerasmart.

My number one factor in avoiding post-treatment sensitivity following the delivery of indirect restorations is the management of force dynamics in the occlusal morphological design.  This is one reason I like the virtual digital design to control occlusal contact placement.  This video's occlusal design concept uses Primescan and the latest CEREC software.  These principles apply to Exocad and 3 Shape software, and I am also branching into these virtual design softwares.

The following question came into the messaging center.  "I have a case coming
up which has posterior erosion with passive eruption. Wondering what the best
treatment flow is for this and if there is a course in posterior rehab with
onlays?  Thanks!"

Applying the art and craft of shaping and micro-texturing takes our aesthetic skills to the next level.  This video tutorial will walk through my shaping workflow for a single central.  As the saying goes, once you have mastered the single central workflow and aesthetic blend, you will have reached the pinnacle for anterior aesthetics clinical applications.
