Speed and quality can go hand-in-hand! We all know how fast CEREC can be with imaging, design, and milling, but the bottleneck of time can be found at the furnace! Ivoclar Vivadent has launched the CS6 furnace that is FASTER and can do ceramics AND zirconia! It is a major advancement in chairside…
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 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…

I decided to learn more about motorcycles, and started riding on the track at Circuit of the Americas in Austin in 2020. On one occasion, I happened to run into Dr. Jeffery Purk from Iowa. He and I hit it off well, and I was blown away by his story! Not only…

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.
