Vita Enamic IS Implant Abutment and Triluxe Crown
Root fractures can happen with rigid posts, and flexible posts as well. This happened here. Luckily there was not much pain associated with it, and was just loose. (I, personally, know how this feels! I just had one of my own teeth have the same thing happen!) The tooth was extracted by my OMS and…

Tightie Whities: CEREC 3D Printed Whitening Trays!
Here is a cool way to go impression free on something we do a lot in the dental office, teeth whitening! From a lab work perspective this really doesn’t take much time, when you count pouring up models, applying block out resin etc. I scanned the upper and lower arch and exported to…

Conservative Enamic Inlay
I’m not one to take out amalgams just to take out amalgams, but you can’t deny that they usually present like this. In dental school, we were trained that the corrosion was a good thing to keep the seal. Really? When is corrosion ever good for anything, especially in medicine? I guarantee if this “corrosion”…

Indirect Inlays and Direct Composites
I put together a video discussing both direct and indirect restorations for simple class 2 restorations. If you are interested in learning more about partial coverage, you should come to our “Only Onlays!” course! Direct composites are not too difficult to complete once you get the hang of it.

“I Think I Want To Be A Dentist…?”
Dear Dr. Bill, I can relate to most of your articles. As a 23 old second year dental student in my 1st semester, I am working on clinic patients. Dentistry was never my first career choice but my parents asked me to pursue this field. While I have no issues with my dental academic studies,…

eMax 500: 1mm Does NOT Equal 1mm
eMax CAD now claims an average of 500 megapascal flexural strength! This is fantastic, and I think a lot of heavy eMax users know how robust of a material it actually is. However, the new preparation guidelines are misleading, in my opinion. eMax needs to be a MINIMUM of 1mm material thickness, but the preparation…

A couple of Emax crowns in Bio Copy aka Correlation
Am I the only one who keeps calling Bio Copy, correlation? If you were a red or blue cam user you may slip as well. Just amazed at how easy it is to do quadrants then back in the “virtual seat” days.
