One of the benefits of chairside CAD/CAM is the ability to customize ceramic treatment. The Omnicam-CEREC system is capable of designing and machining thin margins for conservative aesthetic dentistry. The Omnicam digital impression is easily acquired creating a very accurate virtual model with well defined observed margins on the prepared teeth. Digital design can be…

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…

Feather margins can be effectively managed with our CEREC system. I prefer them for conservatively prepared anterior teeth and posterior onlays when the margin is mid-tooth at the height of contour. The value of a feather margin is tooth conservation and optimizing aesthetics. When using a thinner e.max margin style, particularly with HT, there is…

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…

At the CEREC 30 celebration in Las Vegas, it was announced that Dentsply and Sirona will become one. Obviously this will be making waves throughout the dental industry because these are two of the most respected and largest dental manufacturers. Their competitors must surely be nervous as the research and development resources can…
