I always promised to show the good, and not so good cases so here is another “saved by a low biplane case” where the final restoration had some Ti Base show through.  As you use CEREC more and get to play with more materials I am finding that I have some “defaults”.  Screw retained crowns…

Here is my first Zirconia crown in my Speed Fire oven and I have to say I am pretty excited!  #2 Implant placed about 6 months ago.  We are in the posterior next to some old PFMs so I wasn’t worried about the translucency. In fact I wanted something opaque to match the other opaque…

Well I finally got my Speefire/Wet Dry Mill combo, so here is my first case. I have used InCoris Meso before but never Celtra Duo. And was intrigued my the strength and the fact that I could stain and glaze it and it wasn’t purple. Free hand immediate on a grafted site. Note the change…

Admit it, that song is stuck in your head now! :}  #13 obviously not right for this world. Took a full arch scan and got it into Galileos. Remember as long as the Guide Sleeve and Platform are coronal to the tooth fragment you can do the case without extracting first.  Super Easy surgery care…

  Gefilte Fish was only something I heard on Rush Hour 2, but apparently its a destroyer of clinical crowns. This patient was eating said dish when he felt his crown come out in his mouth.  Silver point end non restorable, but in a hard place, the mandibular second molar.  As you know we have…

……. a Bentley! Wait.. do you think I was going to say something cheesy like “My Two Front Teeth?” Its like you don’t know me anymore! Lol! Here is an immediate case where we ended up using the Telio CAD bridge block to shape the tissue rather than two individual abutment blocks. #8/9 mobile from…

This was my very first Implant Case Ever! I started placing implants about 7 years ago!  This patient left my practice for whatever reason and came back for a cleaning! Lots to learn from this one.  Look at that giant flap!  I had a buddy with a Galileos help me measure stuff, non guided, Although…

  Got to try the Vita Enamic IS Implant Blocks today.  Definitely impressed.  Here is a case I really wish I had done guided.  Two Immediate molar implants.  Patient returned in 6 months to uncover and restore. Used the DEKA Laser and two TSV 5.7mm Scan Posts: Note the screw hole position. I am definitely…

If you do enough implants you will deal with failures.  Luckily most are catastrophic, they just fall out of the patient’s head. But sometimes they just don’t want to come out easy. Here is a case where I got to do something I have been dying to do! Remove an implant via electrosurge! So think…
