QiQi Do You Love Me? QiQi Zooey CAD Designer and Alien Milling Cases from Brighterway printed on the Asiga Max
Rather than flood Digital Enamel with some pretty bread and butter crown cases, I thought I would post all in one long post. At Brighterwey, a dental clinic that serves the homeless, low income Vets and the working poor, 3shape donated 5 Trios machines. Amman Girbach donated a Ceramill completely lab system, but we haven’t…
Giving Back With Digital Dentistry: 3D Printed Valplast Partial off a Trios Scan
I have been volunteering about once a week at the Brighterway Institute in Phoenix where we treat the homeless, low income Vets and the working poor. You know me so, I gotta put a digital spin on any dentistry I do. This patient needed #19 and 20 out due to a lot of infection…

It’s Screw-able, It’s Cement-able, It’s Screwment-able: Screwment-able Implant Crowns on Legacy Implants from TruAbutment via Sirona Connect
I know a lot of people that really like ‘Screw-mentable” restorations. I just feel like a moron saying “Screw-mentable.” But in a nutshell, in implants we have cemented restorations, with the drawback of having to clean up cement sub gingival. On the flip side with have screw retained crowns, no cement, but if we have…

Nothing Screwy About This Deal!! Screw Retained Zirconia Implant Crown on Legacy for $134
When Ivoclar first came out with their Emax abutment block, I was determined to do all implant restorations in house. I didn’t care that it took 2.5 hours, I was determined. Over time I have taken a bit of a staged approach and scanned and maybe milled and tried in on day one and then…
Love Me Tru: TruAbutment Scan Posts, Ti Bases and Guided Kit on a CEREC Guide 2 Legacy Case

This Printer is so Extra! Phrozen XL $1200 3D Printer with Extra Large build plate
I really am loving the low cost printers from a company with a funny name, Phrozen. This is the 3rd printer I have bought from them and, although I am sticking to my guns on getting a Moonray or Form 2 for a production, dental office printer, I may change my tune with this one,…
A Hit and a Miss: Form 2 $70 Resin from Apply Lab Works
Ok I got some more resin from Apply Lab Works for the Form 2. This retails for $70 vs $150 from Formlabs. When you are printing a 40 model aligner case, that adds up quick! The Moonray resin is working perfectly, so I am super excited about that. I tested the tan and the gray.…
