Implants

This was a case where we really pulled out a lot of tech in my office!  So CEREC is open now, we can export to STL.  For most of us that means we can make our own aligners or models or whatever.  But this also opens the system up to send to labs or use…

Here is another Xive case.  Patient’s #6 crown is mobile, at first we thought it was just a loose crown, but as I took a closer look I could see the gingiva move, so the coronal part of the prep was fractured.  Which is weird on a non end tooth. Patient did not want to…

I know that many Astra users out there are still anxiously awaiting for the FDA clearance of Scan Posts and Ti Bases for that system, but there is another DS Sirona implants that has both a keyless guided system and everything you need to restore in CEREC.  The Xive system is an internal hex with…

Here is a case that I have been putting off restoring for a while due to the wait on the FDA with the Astra EV scan posts and turns out, this patient broke a tooth next to the implants!  Scanned for  CEREC Guide 2.  Just for fun we printed a model on the Moonray but…

  If you don’t follow Baron Grutter, you really should.  He does a lot in the 3D Printing/Digital Ortho world.  Baron has a great little gadget/3D Printable file called the Anatomic Profile Generator. It allows you to use a ti base or a temp titanium cylinder to add flowable composite to make custom healing abutments.…

Here is a really simple case using an Astra 4.2 by 11 EV Implant with CEREC Guide and the new CEREC Guide 2 Sleeves you can purchase at the digital enamel store.  Simple case, a bit deficient on the buccal.   I only have two sleeve sizes.  Medium for the 4.2 and 3.6 and Large…

Here is another clinical case using the Astra CEREC Guide 2 Sleeves.  Not a lot of bone between the canine and the sinus.  When planning the sleeves remember that we do not have sleeves for the small CEREC Guide 2 sleeve (5.5mm) just the medium and large.  The Astra Sleeves are Medium for the Yellow…

I think I used every piece of technology in my office!  3 Legacy 2 implants placed with a Digital Guide. Flipper wearer for over 20 years. Patient had an existing Hiossen 4.5mm implant to restore. Took a scan and got started on the tissue shaping and zirconia abutments.  Did a diagnostic wax up in Meshmixer…

I really like the fact that the Astra EV kit is keyless and have been asked by an number of people to adapt Astra’s guided kit like I did for Implant Direct.  So I am happy to announce my prototype guide sleeves fit great and should be getting about 1000 of them in about 2…
