This lesson will walk through a single central workflow using the Primescan, e.max, and MiYO brush-on ceramic.  The principles are applicable to Omnicam users.

Applying the art and craft of ceramic shaping and micro-texturing takes our aesthetics 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.

The ceramic milled and finished restorations just dropped in!   I have noticed better contact precision when designing multiple side-by-side restorations with Primescan.  We did have one hiccup with this case.  The centrals needed a brighter shade.  This video will share how the two e.max cental restorations where cemented temporarily and rescanned, used for BioCopy design, and then milled for a brighter shade.  Shade issues happen occasionally when working with thin ceramics, this is my workaround method for cases like this!

Anterior BioJaw is a software feature where the user can choose from templates and design a virtual smile setup. The BioCopy catalog is used as a virtual position guide for tooth size, position, and tip.  The value of BioJaw is the resulting cleaner virtual design than with BioCopy design.  This video will journey through the software design workflow for multiple anterior virtual designs using BioJaw.

For the last 10 years, my favored software flow for anterior multiple tooth design has been BioCopy.  This anterior case review will introduce my current Biocopy/Biojaw modified anterior workflow for multiple teeth.  This is the first video in a series of three videos.

The ZirCAD Multi zirconia aesthetic bridge series has been posted on the CE section of this website for 1.5 units of CE.  

The Klim Institute is a PACE certified educational service.  In most states, the viewer can gain up to 50% of license renewal with online certified education (check your regional or state board to verify).  This site will continue the process of providing new online CE lessons to expand our current CE portfolio.

My Crown Parameter portfolio for Primescan is similar to the last few versions of Omnicam except for one.  This video will review how my Parameter management has been impacted by Primescan.  

The minimal thickness parameters are now set to manufacture recommendations for each material used.  This will provide instant feedback with engineering "checks and balances" during the software design phase.

Setting up the CEREC software for a seamless smooth design flow is defined by two preparation factors.  This video will convey my take on prepping for success and is the core of my CEREC clinical success.

Primescan provides the dream scanning situation for inlays and onlays.  The best we have had yet in the years of CEREC upgrade scanning devices.  There is a caveat about which version of the CEREC software can best handle the two-piece implant restoration in the premolar or anterior zone of the mouth.  In the opinion of Dr. Klim, it is the 4.52 software which means we still need the Omnicam. This case review video will illustrate the planning and implementation to restoring an implant restoration on a non-ideal placed implant and creating the illusion of a smaller mesial-distal tooth using the combo of the Primescn and Omnicam.  To

This video is Part II for the conservative CEREC restoration(s) and will demonstrate the Primescan software workflow. The Primescan is the latest Dentsply Sirona scanning system and provides the scan ease and required detail that a conservative preparation style and mill requires.  As a result, the software design workflow has been simplified with assured precise fitting restorations.
