This was an excellent interview with Dr. Steve Shiffenhaus on his review of treating dentin for maximizing bond strength and avoiding post-treatment sensitivity. This video clip is one of the highlights of the full interview. The full video interview can be viewed at the following link. Full Dr. Shiffenhaus inteverview.

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.

My primary goal for this series is to provide a systematic pathway to ceramic selection. 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 are restoration thickness, the color of the preparation, material translucency, cement/spacerRead more
