I love the simplicity of digital dentistry. It has the ability to take out so many variables, and make life easier. With the launch of the PrimeScan from DentsplySirona, I imagine that you’re seeing all sorts of full arch cases! Great! But, that isn’t what the vast majority of the use is. It is still…

I review the overall look and workflow of the Prime Scan and CEREC 5.0 combination. The workflow is greatly reduced because more data allows many applications to become automated. I will do a more detailed review in upcoming videos. This is a good overview of the two working together. Our…

Dentsply Sirona has done it yet again. The Prime Scan is the fastest most accurate intra oral scanner to date. With new scanning technology, it is the ultimate in scanning. I review the entire process in this short video. Our online education platform is awesome! Hundreds of videos that help…

CUSTOM HEALING ABUTMENTS MAKE SENSE One of the most difficult things to do in dentistry is deliver an implant crown. Most people use a healing abutment that is not contoured like the natural tooth that was once in the tissue. Stock healing abutments leave a straight cylinder most of the time making it difficult…

Check out our new class that is all about doing less! That is… less tooth reduction! We will cover varying prep designs and do a lot of hands-on preparations. Owning CEREC is NOT a requirement! We will use them to scan to some degree, but do not worry about that if you are not familiar…

One of our patients needed her old porcelain fused to metal crown replaced after a root canal. This is an excellent opportunity to jazz up the esthetics, especially after bleaching. How many times have you seen this where they bleached years after a PFM was placed??!! Picking the right shade is important, but also a…

If you’ve followed this website, you have seen a lot of partial coverage restorations by me. I am very conservative in my decisions on when to “cover” cusps or where to leave margins. After completing thousands of partial coverage restorations, the hard guidelines that we tend to follow don’t always seem to be of importance.…

This case is a great example of using analog and digital dentistry together to make a huge impact in a patient’s life. Duration of this case was 3.5 years as we started the process while keeping the end result in mind. Not a single drop of impression material was used on the restorative side of…

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,…

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.…
