When treating all-ceramic, CAD/CAM owners will need to use hydrofluoric acid to create an etch pattern in order to create a surface to adhesively bond to. Different materials have different times to etch:
IPS Empress – 60 seconds with 5% hydrofluoric etch

This is the week of sheet-rocking the new Klim practice and CADStar CEREC training & mentoring home. Looking forward to CADStar’s future training options. One of my objectives in addition to training CEREC, is full practice integration, materials, and support systems. Even though I use CEREC technology to fabricate my restorations, my success is more about patient relationships,

There have been several requests to review my cementation process, particularly the resin cement cleanup management. Resin cements incorporate new dimensions of strength and optimize the adhesive assembly. On the other hand, cleanup can be a “pain in the backside”. This video will review the primary factors to systemize resin cleanup. View

Impulse e.max adds additional options for shade selection and clinical applications. There are three Value blocks and two Opal blocks. The Value blocks are recommended for crowns, veneers, and partial crowns (value increases from V1 to V3). The block match is determined by brightness. The Opal blocks are indicated for thin veneers.
