What are your posterior material selections for posterior CAD/CAM dentistry?  I get this question all the time.  To be reflective, it has changed over the years. I started with ProCAD and Mark materials.  Then e.max arrived! Now we have a plethora of zirconia options.  This video reviews my current view on CAD/CAM material selections in my posterior clinical theater.

This video will review the workflow for designing the subgingival emergence for an implant restoration. When setting up the implant restoration in the model screen, we can choose to use or not to use the gingival mask for proposing the restoration.  How do we make this design choice?  This video will illustrate both options and when to use each approach.

This CEREC software workflow video is about using BioJaw for designing anterior full crowns.  I have found this is now my favored approach when designing multiple anterior veneer or crown restorations.  In principle, when going into multiple anterior restorations case, a wax-up or mock-up is still imperative for treatment planning,  preparation guide, and scanning for a Biocopy catalog.  With BioJaw the initial indication tooth type design choice is Biogeneric and not Biocopy.  The Biocopy catalog is added to the Acquisition screen from the side panel command.  When in the design screen, the BioCopy catalog is used as a virtual guide for
