The new Digital Guides are out! Obviously one area of concern is if they are as accurate as Opti Guides. I’ve done a number of cases and so far so good! So here is a step by step simple anterior case. Patient had a cantilevered temp on #7 and 8 after a previously failed implant.…

Still (impatiently) waiting for my CEREC Guide 2 blocks, so I ended up free handing this one. Mushy #10 obviously non restorable. CT and PA shows a ton of bone. Pretty simple placement. Again, one of the huge benefits of Telio CAD is that we don’t have to worry about getting stuff in the…

As you may or may not know, Optiguides which are guides that have been previously manufactured in Germany can now be made in the US! DigitalGuides, which they are called are files made by SICAT and sent to local labs that have been approved. Burbank Dental, which I have used for years is currently making…

I really don’t know how I did this case. Way in the back, patient on Halcyon couldn’t keep open, plus he had limited opening. Oh well, gotta keep going!. Non restorable #15, perfect case for CEREC Guide 2. Again, always try to get a full arch you never know how much coverage you can get…

Well this only took about 3 years to do! Patient came in about 3 years ago and we placed two implants replacing # 9 conventional and #10 immediate. Used optiguide. Pretty easy standard surgery, ended up using the dense bone protocol on this one. Little laser around the prep to get some length. Threw on…

Well I think everyone who knows me knows that I have mad love for Implant Direct. I have keys that adapt the Spectra system non guided drills for CEREC Guide 2 and have been a user for about 6 years. One thing that I have not loved is the fact that due to the fixture…

Here is another case, that looks exactly like my last Telio case. #5, virgin tooth, split right down the middle. Needs a little cold steel and sunshine. Removed and replaced with a 3.7 by 13mm Legacy 4. Again, I bought a bunch of these but as I am doing custom on most cases I would…

Such a perfect application for CEREC Guide 2! First Molar area, we are always worried about the nerve. Scanned in CEREC and Galielos. Lots of coverage even with the Maxi block. In this case I used a large guide sleeve as the edentulous space was really wide. Nice and easy!! Hard to…

Here is another immediate low pre molar that I would never do non guided! Non restorable #29, imported into Galileos. I thought it would be cool to insert slots and use drill stops to come in from the side, but in this beta version the slots didn’t mill. Look at the acrylic shavings!!! I…
