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

Ivocolor stain and glaze is the most proficient system I use in my CEREC CAD/CAM clinical theater.  This video will review the steps of color addition and technique for creating a subtle incisal edge effect.

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.

The video will review my simple stain and glaze technique for bringing a canine alive.  Listen to what others are saying about the Ivocolor glaze and coloring system.

This video will review the technique I use when creating a thin feather e.max margin.  There are several milling parameters that will help in avoiding chipped margins.  Let's find out the indications and how to set up a case for predictable thin margins.

This video is about the unique shaping and surface texturing of a canine.  This is one of the cases I use in my hands-on classes.  I will also review the indications for using BioCopy as a design feature.
