We all have a patient like this. One single tooth out of alignment. She lost her retainer and just wanted #23 moved a little to the buccal. Powdered and imaged in CEREC ortho, converted to STL in CEREC InLab. When you get an STL it has a model or multiple models in a world…

Well I am certainly excited for Blue Sky’s Ortho Software but in the mean time this is a cool case that for $190 Exceed Ortho will set up an aligner case or for $295 which includes brackets and wires, will do a vacuform bracket case. Scanned in CEREC chair side and you can see where…

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…

DirecGen MFDBA <1mm particulate mixed cortical cancellous cadaver bone. Love the smily face. Scanned teeth in CEREC, converted to…

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…

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…

Difficult, Exacting & Unreasonable Patients We know that running a successful dental practice can be very demanding and tedious. The amount of time to fine tune a practice seems constant and never-ending. We try to establish “systems” that we implement so that our offices function flawlessly. However, we do have circumstances that arise occasionally that…
