This is something I have been waiting for for a while in Galileos and found through the guys as BlueSkyBio Academy how to make a hole in you CEREC generated scan to get a lab model for an analog. What can you do with it? You can pre make a temp, you can…
Galileos is My Co Pilot: DigitalGuide Pilot Guide with Legacy 2 Implant
Here is another perfect case for the newbies out there. I did a pilot guide as this was for a live surgery for Implant Direct’s 101 course and we wanted to show the drill sequence free hand. This guide was made at Implant Concierge in San Antonio, one of the available labs that can produce…
Form Fail: Form 2 3D Printed CG2/Legacy 2 Case Free Hand Placed
Being that we are all a bit tech minded its fun to push the envelope, but sometimes it pushes back. Here is a case where I converted a CEREC Guide 2 RST to STL with the help of InLab 16 and it didn’t fit. Interesting enough in retrospect it may be more of a CEREC…
Yo Baby Yo Baby Yo: Placenta/DirecGen Graft with 3D Printed Essix Temps
I can’t wait to see the results of the placenta grafts I have been doing but here is a pretty straightforward case. I’m still surprised when docs that come to my courses don’t socket graft. DirecGen MFDBA <1mm particulate mixed cortical cancellous cadaver bone. Love the smily face. Scanned teeth in CEREC, converted to…
Cerecguide2 is Still My Main B: CEREC Guide 2, Legacy 4 Case
Got some PMs asking if I still like or use CG2. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression but CG2 is still my main go to guide. 94% of all Implant cases sent to Glidewell last year for restorations were single units. You can 3D print single and multiple unit guides but the…
3D Printing Party! CEREC, Galileos, BSP, Form 2, Robox and Legacy 2
I think I used every piece of technology in my office! #28-30 in need of implants. Scanned in Galileos and CEREC. Articulated the bite and exported that by the help of Frankie Acosta. Frankie charges $20 to convert RST to STL via Inlab 16. Find him on CEREC connect! Loaded the files into BSP and…
Vita Enamic IS Implant Abutment and Triluxe Crown
Root fractures can happen with rigid posts, and flexible posts as well. This happened here. Luckily there was not much pain associated with it, and was just loose. (I, personally, know how this feels! I just had one of my own teeth have the same thing happen!) The tooth was extracted by my OMS and…
Why You So Densah? Osseodensification with Densah Burs, CEREC Guide 2 and Legacy 2
I have been dying to try out the Densah Burs by Versah. These work in reverse to compact spongy bone. In this case we have a lot of decay and OH issues, but he really wants an implant in #11, so we had to choose our battles. #9 has a very large PARL so we…
‘Sup Babygirl: Placenta and DirecGen MFDBA socket graft
Ok, I know the title is a bit much! But this is a really cool product! Large vertical defect on #19. Placenta has been used a great deal in medicine for covering large open wounds, such as diabetic ulcers. Its anti microbial, attracts mesynchmal stem cells, has all sorts of biological factors. Its designed for…
Another CEREC Flipper: 3D Printed Essix with CEREC, Galileos and a 7mm Legacy Implant
Here is another essay case. Funny I rarely do flippers on molar implants but had two in a row and glad I had my CEREC and Form 2 printer! Pretty straightforward molar immediate. Drilled through the furcation and placed a 7 by 11.5 legacy 2. Converted the RST through Inlab 15. Used Meshmixer to add…
