I really am loving the low cost printers from a company with a funny name, Phrozen. This is the 3rd printer I have bought from them and, although I am sticking to my guns on getting a Moonray or Form 2 for a production, dental office printer, I may change my tune with this one,…

Ok I got some more resin from Apply Lab Works for the Form 2. This retails for $70 vs $150 from Formlabs. When you are printing a 40 model aligner case, that adds up quick! The Moonray resin is working perfectly, so I am super excited about that. I tested the tan and the gray.…

If you are not placing implants you really should look at courses like Justin Moody’s Implant Pathway. They do live courses…

It is cool to see full mouth cases however I am a simple, single tooth dentist and the single implant and CEREC crown is what I do day in and day out. I have always placed my implants just below the crest, but saw a few lecturers placing their implants more and more sub crestal.…

One of our favorite blocks is the Vita Real Life. It isn’t as popular as some because people are unaware of how to use it. It is a simple block with two layers: a dentin and an enamel. They are sloped within the block to mimic the facial slope of anterior teeth. Basically, the enamel…

This case is a perfect example of gaining the patient’s trust by showing them how well and how quickly things can be done using a digital workflow. This patient presented with a failing 3 unit bridge #18 – #20. He previously had another provider place an implant in the number #19 area which failed, hence…

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…
