Two bridges designed to fit exactly together, and with someone that has an anterior open bite! Boom! :)
Let's walk through a bridge design. Some key points made regarding margin design, connector size/shape, and pontic.
Did you know that our grinding burs bend a little? You must know how to use Occlusal Offset to compensate for this!
Todd discusses the entire procedure for an onlay along with the patient interaction during milling. The most important part of all of it is isolation for bonding
A summary of a cosmetic makeover. This is the first part of two. More videos to come on this very subject.
The second part of a cosmetic makeover.
You do NOT need to prep for a traditional crown with CEREC! These are various full coverage preparation styles that can be used, and Todd discusses his favorites.
Zirconia is a hot product right now, and Todd walks through the process.
Prime Scan goes deep! You can easily image sub gingival margins! Take a look!
There are four areas that are usually not done very well in CEREC anterior restorations.
Don't forget that the Prime Scan and CEREC are easy for the single units too. Almost too easy! Full arch scans are the focus but the single units are more of what are being done every day.
Don't get all the way to try-in and the restoration isn't going down all of the way! It is too easy to get stuck in the software and just be worried about colors, and not worry about how the actual piece is going to slide passively in to place. Todd discusses....
Using the BioCopy folder, you can see where the occlusal patterns were before the tooth fractured. You can even use the slopes right before the fracture to give you a great idea of where there lateral movements may go.
The Primescan and the Omnicam are also excellent still cameras or video cameras. Todd demonstrates how to use this feature and also how to export the pictures or video.
The Sprue Removal System is perfect for removing hard ceramic sprues, especially eMax CAD from Ivoclar Vivadent. The white portion aggressively removes the sprue while the blue portion polishes it and confirms that it is completely removed.
It happens! But, whatcha going to do about it? See how Todd responds.
Todd discusses his philosophy regarding soft tissue in a scanned environment. Sometimes doing more to the tissue makes things worse, not better! "If CEREC sees it, CEREC can mill to it!"
Just a few simple things can make a ceramic margin blend so well, it's almost impossible to see. No need to hide your margins with CEREC, emax CAD HT, and Multilink (yellow!)
