I am really liking Archform!! Arform.co is where you download it. The software is free, and its $50 per case export. In my office I divide up who to send aligners to based on complexity. A year and a half or more: send to Invisalign. 6 month to a year and a half: exceed-ortho.com and…

Ran out of A3 Katana blocks so here is a case I sent out using ExoCAD and Alien Milling. Open contact 14/15 decay around all teeth, did some heroics on #15. Sent to Alien at $39 a unit without stating, just milled and sintered. #13 is elongated bossily to jump a cross bite. Cemented…

Here is another case where we got to use Emax on a 3D Printed analog model. Non restorable #30 extracted placed a 7mm legacy and grafted around it with MFDBA. Scanned with a Sirona scan post to make the crown and an NT Trading scan post so that we can make the model in…

Free Crown Friday is something that Alien Milling Center will be doing every Friday in 2018!! Last Friday I posted that they would be doing a free crown with their Alien Zirconia and sinter it for you. You need to have either a lab scanner or a chaired cad cam system and a way…

Alan Mead from Dental Hacks Nation fame as a running joke about Digital Enamel changing its name to Analog Dentin, so I have two cases this week where we made 3D Printed Analog Models to celebrate the cheese! Implant Direct now has both a line of Scan Bodies and matching analogs that correspond to the…

This case is certainly not the prettiest, but I wanted to play with NT Trading’s Scan Post, Reusable Lab Analog and it ti base on another Alien Milling el cheapo case. Spoiler Alert: Meh. Could I have done this chair side? Absolutely. But just wanted to see the difference is esthetics between CEREC Zirocnia and…

A lot of us are anxiously waiting to get our hands on the Katana blocks coming out in March which are multi colored Zirconia which supposedly has translucency similar to Emax. Todd and I were at the IDS in 2017 where they announced it. 30 minutes in the speed fire. About 750 Mpa compared to…

Pretty old hat by now, but hey what the heck. Another guided CEREC Guide 2 case. As you may or may not know, Inlab can export CEREC Guide 2 to STL, but we don’t have that capability chaired. So you can send to an Inlab provider for about $20 and print it yourself for $5…

This was a fun case where I got to play with all my toys!! As many know CEREC can only export models as STLs but if you go with an Inlab provider you can get it converted. #5 extracted and grafted with MFDBA a while back. Planned in CEREC and Galileos and sent to an…

Here is another “kitchen sink” case where I got to use a few different technologies, CEREC, ExoCAD and the Asiga Max printer. #30 I did a non guided immediate molar implant. Didn’t get around to shaping the tissue so excuse the heme. Emax LT with an Implant Direct (TSV 5.7) scan post. The white…
