As practitioners we want to make informed diagnoses and confident treatment plans. Incidental findings using CBCT can be life changing for our patients.

CEREC 4.6 with GC Cerasmart
CEREC 4.6 is being released, and the scans are exceptional. The depth of colors are getting closer and closer to photorealism. The HDR visual mode of 4.6 is really nice for depth. However, the 3D DATA is actually the most important thing because that is what we are milling to! Check out the model and…
50 Shades Of Dental Grey
As great as dental x-rays are today with our high resolution digital sensors or the convenient phosphor plates, they come with MAJOR limitations. Dental x-rays (the typical bite-wings and periapicals) are pretty much the same as they’ve been for 50+ years.
