This video is step four in the comprehensive digital workflow. Creating the fixed transitional occlusion is the magic of comprehensive care when increasing the OVD. The digital imaging with the Primescan is fully competent to capture and then create prepless onlay and veneers at levels of precision that dramatically simplifies the transitional phase of restoring a dentition when increasing OVD. This process facilitates the patient adapting in composite, with minor follow-up adjustments and settling the occlusion before moving into the final restorations. This video walks through the workflow for bonding the

Steve shares how he adapted to the fixed transitional occlusion onlays and veneers.  

When changing a vertical functional dimension, verifying the patient’s adaptive capabilities with a removable splint is clinically safe, followed by fixed transitional onlays and veneers before moving into the final restorative phase. 

Measure this phase by interview questions and clinical response to the transitional bite. A successful adaptive occlusion will exhibit a clinical environment free from tooth, joint, and muscle pain. The patient needs physiologic imprinting and emotional closure before moving to the restorative phase

This video is the software workflow for a lower arch to open the bite with prepless onlays and veneers on the canine.  The current software is working well!  The transitional bite will be milled in composite material and bonded.  This transitional occlusion will provide neural, muscle memory, and biomechanical adaptation before placing the final restorative restorations.

The fixed transitional bite introduction. Creating prepless onlays and veneers using the precision of the Primescan buccal bite registration is a predictable way of increasing the vertical dimensions and creating a fixed transition occlusion before the final restorations.

”We move the comprehensive patient back to general dentistry by creating an adaptive physiologic transitional bite and choosing a restorative workflow to reproduce and maintain the transitional bite during the final restorative process.”

 There are four ways I propose in the CEREC software for anterior work.  This video will demonstrate the software workflow for Copy & Mirror and is my preferred method when the adjacent central is in good shape and form.  This is Part one in a series of start to finish (shaping, stain/glaze, and polish) for a single central.

This video is my workflow for shaping in one anterior central.  It is fun! the video will review the following:

  • Shaping steps
  • How much to texture the ceramic
  • Bur strategies

There are aesthetics and cervical soft tissue health benefits to polishing a restoration following stain and glaze.

  • Refine and smooth convexed zones
  • Create a luster that fits the case
  • Polish margins removing micro-ceramic tags

After the glaze and color firing, there is one more simple step we can take that will elevate our ceramics to the next level, it is called superficial gloss finishing.  This video will go through the steps to master the final luster on a canine ceramic.
