This video is a design screen overview for bread and butter posterior dental applications.  When applying consistent sequential disciplined design steps, one will discover that the design time will significantly speed up.  The design principles and steps in this video apply to 4.6 users as well...just a different graphic interphase between 5.0 and 4.6 CEREC software versions.

This coming fall, I will be adding a CEREC Rehab Channel to this site.  It will present a step-by-step approach start to finish using the CEREC Primescan digital platform.  For those with Omnicam, the 4.6 software will be the same applicable workflow.  This video is a rehab overview in response to a question posted on the Ask Dr. Klim Forum.

There are a few adjustments to be made when integrating to Primescan tower, mouse support, touch screen, and a few hacks to work around early adopter glitches.  This video will share the lastest Klim adjustment.

When I think back to dental school days, study models were part of the new patient records collection.  The ease of Primescan imaging can take a digital study model in 3 minutes or less.  The Primescan produces an excellent STL which can be used for a third party software, printing, appliances, aligners, and a digital wax-up.  This video will demonstrate my process for acquiring a Primescan study model.

Restoring a single maxillary incisor presents the greatest blend challenge with dentistry in the smile zone. When the adjacent teeth are in good shape, I stay conservative.  With chairside CAD/CAM using the Dentsply Sirona system, the Copy and Mirror is my preferred design approach creating a "DNA form and shape" by copying the adjacent central.  The next step is choosing the ceramic that blends best for the case. Since the ceramic and cement refractory behavior will change once cemented, so will the value and blend. In my blend theater, I prefer placing a transitional restoration that is machined with the projected ceramic and luting

Number one objective for anterior tooth upgrade treatment is addressing biofunctional demands.  Biofunctional demands are often the challenge that is hard to navigate when there is advanced aging wear and tear conditions.  This #cereccasereview will walk through the setup, CEREC design approach, and finished case addressing the maxillary central incisors when there is a challenging lingual wear issue.

Not every case I do is high-end aesthetics.  There are clinical situations where I just want to make it work!  This is one of those cases where high-strength zirconia made it work.

This video shares my passion for why I love providing online CEREC education.  I have been so blessed by making a decision 15 years ago to integrate CEREC into my clinical theater.  Fast forward to the latest Primescan!  It is hard to believe how this restorative digital journey has evolved to now impacting a significant part of my daily clinical chairside care.

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.

The Extra Fine mill will provide a "pressable" margin and milled restoration.  This video will explain how to set up the bur sets and clinical indications for the extra fine (EF) mill.  This is one feature with the Omnicam and Primescan CEREC systems I could not practice without!
