Funny, the more I print the more I realize the ROI. Same as yesterday, $20 for the conversion and about $4 in Resin. Typical presentation, #5 broken off at the gumline. Make sure that the implant guide platform is really thick. In this case it printed really thin. You can see how thin the guide…

First let me start by saying that CEREC Guide 2, milled is a great deal at $55 a block and its my go to guide for same day implants. But if you have some time, converting the CEREC Guide 2 via Inlab is a very economic option especially since its about $5 I’m materials and…

I often get asked in regards to 3D printing “What’s the ROI”? Printers cost money and resin cost more! Well this is a cool case where we 3D printed a night guard, something we do all day in our analog world. As you can see this patient really grinds his teeth! Send the case…

No I am not describing my dance moves, lol. One thing thats really cool about the Moonray is that it can take 3rd party resins. Fun To Do makes resins for UV, DLP, and SLA Laser printers. This resin, Snow white is about $63 per kg compared to $150 to $200 from other Resin providers.…

Remember, don’t throw away that guide! We need it to find out where the implant is! 4 months post. Note #12 was temporized at an Endodontist who determined it was un save-able , so we will ext and do another implant. Nobel replace scan post. In CEREC just move the tooth really apical and get out that…

Sorry for the long title, but man, we used everything in my office on this case. Typical presentation, Upper second pre molar broken off at the gumline. We drew two coals of blood for PRF and got busy on the CEREC Guide. As you may or may not have seen at Digital Enamel, I have…

Ever since we dropped out price on Aligner therapy we have been doing a lot more ortho!! Hopefully getting a new camera soon for my Omnicam so I can do away with powder in CEREC Ortho. Class one post ortho relapse case! You really do not have to use Meshmixer for Exceed Ortho…

Here at the IDS and 3D Printing is everywhere!! This is the case from the other day. In Meshmixer we created a solid model and also used a tooth from the Christian Brenes library . I combined the tooth with the “implant” we used and scaled it to 5.2mm and positioned the apex where the…
