This is the second part video for no prep veneers with CEREC. This video will emphasize how to set the case up and assure patient emotional closure for the no prep or minimal prep. It is good to understand the shade and shape limitations with a conservative approach and being able to identify those cases that will result in a successful outcome before the treatment is started.

I have had my hands on the Primescan and it is the next cornerstone for the dental digital platform. Having used most of the scanners on the market today, the Primescan is a home run for a full arch scan, edentulous rigid and the palate. Excellent for digital and printed study models. Very accurate and intuitive to use.
Though I have been pleased with Omnicam, it is more of a quadrant capturing system though I have used it for the full arch, it is not as intuitive and more technique sensitive. What the Primescan has to offer is an upgrade image capturing system and the efficient way it compresses the data. This will provide for

Is it possible to design and create "pressable like" veneers with CEREC? The answer is YES. I do this all the time with razor blade margins and no chipping. This video with reviewing via case review the criteria for no prep or minimally prepared veneer applications, design tips, milling approach, and finishing protocols for thin e.max veneers and no marginal chipping.

Both the Omnicam and the PrimeScan are incredible scanning devices and will provide accurate information to master shape and form in the CEREC software and resulting mill. The fundamentals for success are still biofunction, preparation form, material selection, and finish. I am blessed to use the Dentsply Sirona system to optimize my clinical flow and success factors. This video is a case review for using the bracketing technique to accomplish and provide certainty for ceramic blend and case closure for the patient.

This video will review the concept behind the Ivoclar Navigational App which is a free smart device App download. I have found this App very helpful in selecting a workable brilliance/shade. Even though this app is applicable for e.max and the ZirCAD zirconia, I will share several other videos on how to extrapolate for other ceramics such as VITA and Empress. The five ceramic blend factors this video will address are target shade, ceramic thickness, ceramic translucency, preparation shade impact on ceramic selection, and the final blending factor of using cement colors.

Welcome to Ceramic Selection Series Introduction video. One of the most often asked questions in my classes through the years is material and ceramic color selection. I will keep adding to this series as new materials hit the market. My primary goal for this series is to provide a systematic pathway to ceramic and zirconia block color selection for chairside CAD/CAM CEREC users. The closer the treatment is to the midline, the more critical our ceramic selection becomes. With all-ceramic dentistry, there is more than color. Other factors that will impact our ceramic selection is restoration thickness, the color of the preparation,

My CAD/CAM block selection is primarily determined by desired brilliance for the incisal or cusp one-half of the restoration. This tutorial will review my primary strategy that guides my block color selection.

The Omnicam and CEREC Software is an exceptional system. Being able to capture efficient accurate digital information will streamline the software design flow, assure well fitting and well-formed restorations, and elevate our CAD/CAM satisfaction. This video will convey my clinical practice and comments about whether there is a need for powder/anti-reflection practices in the current CEREC clinical world.

This video is a response to an email question I received about zirconia breaking during and after processing. "I've recently had zirconia crowns that have cracks or are broken, some during milling and some after sintering. Have you seen this and what do you think is the cause?"

Several things to consider:
What brand is being milled?
Dry or wet mill?
Is the zirconia considered a 3Y,
