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.

One of the features in CEREC I appreciate the most is designing and creating customized abutment/crown one or two piece restorations. CEREC 4.52 has been a smooth acquisition, design, and production process for implant restorations. Have been very pleased! One hassle for implant/abutment in CEREC 4.6 has been minimal thickness defaults and not being able to modify the metric settings for unique implant design and milled cases. As a result, some cases cannot be milled. This hassle in 4.6 has been frustrating for me. However, I did keep 4.52 on my system which has been seamless for implant design and production. So my go-to CEREC

Verify the model mounting before moving to the Design Phase. I have learned this valuable lesson. When the mounted models can be verified, the design process, parameter settings, and the final mill can be trusted. Occlusal verification is one of the critical check factors to avoiding occlusal adjustments of the final restoration(s).
