With the Bio Jaw introduction in the CEREC 4.4 software, multiple and single anterior teeth can now be designed from template choices and then refined using a simple virtual waxing tool. This approach is very efficient in achieving attractive design outcomes for multiple restorations or even a single anterior restoration.

When we make a focused effort in the design screen to make each stroke of the mouse count, we will become efficient and before you know it, your design speed will significantly increase. This tutorial will introduce my three basic design steps I go through to accomplish the design steps in a very efficient time…

The grinding quality of the 4.4 CEREC software algorithms is the best yet for all bur options. When working with a softer margin style such as a light chamfer or feather, the smaller left bur size will create the more optimal margin edge. We have had the traditional left step bur for a while. This…

The CEREC Ortho program is fantastic! The quality of the models is absolutely spectacular. While there are many successful Omnicam users, the CEREC Ortho scanning has a pattern AND a purpose. In order to get great cross-arch accuracy, the scanning technique must be followed exactly. The CEREC Ortho program can also be used…

This class is designed for the serious CEREC user with the desire to take aesthetic dentistry to a new level. Obtaining results that will rival nature begins in the planning phase. Being well prepared for the aesthetic clinical objectives will simplify the chairside experience. The CEREC application to aesthetic dentistry should be seamless when operating in a…

The Biogeneric Variation Tool provides the option to “fingerprint” the occlusal/body morphology for posterior teeth and incisal/body for anterior proposals by using the variation scale. This is an amazing feature for those who want to simplify morphological design and has been optimized in CEREC 4.4. NOTE: This tool works only for Biogeneric proposals for both…

One of the benefits of chairside CAD/CAM is the ability to customize ceramic treatment. The Omnicam-CEREC system is capable of designing and machining thin margins for conservative aesthetic dentistry. The Omnicam digital impression is easily acquired creating a very accurate virtual model with well defined observed margins on the prepared teeth. Digital design can be…

Feather margins can be effectively managed with our CEREC system. I prefer them for conservatively prepared anterior teeth and posterior onlays when the margin is mid-tooth at the height of contour. The value of a feather margin is tooth conservation and optimizing aesthetics. When using a thinner e.max margin style, particularly with HT, there is…

This is a quick overview of what to expect with the CEREC 4.4 update. Some of the things that you will see are new interfaces: new Administration flow, side panels, and new Milling information entry. The software is much faster, too. You’ll see this with general tool changes, and moving through the…
