I think one of the most important thing about being a digital dentist is using all the tools at your disposal. I love my CEREC Primescan, but, within thew software I can’t export color models or mill titanium. So I pulled out a few tricks I had up my sleeve on this case. Patient has…

So this is my first stackable case, so go easy, I’m fragile :}. First a big thank you to Rajan Sheth, Cory Glen and Ben Callum for their help on the guide and Blue Sky Plan case. I had a little input but can’t take all the credit. I’ve done all on X cases free…

One thing that we do in dentistry is something called a diagnostic wax up. The lab will either 3d print these or make teeth in wax to show the patient. If its digital, its on a screen and at times is hard to show the patient. Using Augmented reality I took an existing denture and…

I don’t know how I am going to write this post. If you are in the CEREC community you undoubtably heard about Todd’s passing yesterday. It seems impossible to write that. If you knew him, you loved him. He just had this personality that would make the grumpiest person smile. I saw this phenonmenon…

Need some beta testers for a fun app I am working on for Iphone, Ipad and Android in AR! You would need some of this stuff: MCXL (not Primemill) , a Primescan, and an Ivoclar CS Furnace. You don’t need all of them, just at least one. If you are an Iphone user you will…
Eye Tracking was once only available to fighter pilots, now it is pretty common in AR. One thing I am working on is a hands free way to control electronic medical devices to keep things sterile. This 3D menu allows you to look at a button to select it or you can just touch it…

Here is a little project I have been working on. Using the Microsoft HoloLens, I can use holograms that are mapped to my living room to show how to use the MCXL milling unit. Of course I had to throw is a little Sci-Fi nerd flair!

Here is another case we did at Implant Pathway at our Restorative Solutions Course. Upper and Lower Zirconia Hybrids scanned with CEREC Primescan with Imetric 4D scans for the implant position. The Squigglies help relate the pre op bite to the soft tissue scans from CEREC. Amazing work at the good folks at…

You know a technique works when even non CEREC dentists can pick up a Primescan and just start doing it. This is one of the patients we saw at Implant Pathway this weekend for the Digital Restorative solutions class. Patient has an existing converted denture. “Squiggles” of white flowable composite are applied to the gums.…
