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.

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!)

There are a number of ideas and techniques to consider when doing anterior restorations. This is a list of things that will help your journey.

Todd discusses his own journey to CEREC. You'll see why he is "aggressively conservative!"

The Prime Scan system is wireless! Dentsply Sirona took the RIGHT wire away: the power cord! Large data stream needs a cord so it is not hindered by wireless limitations.

When you combine digital dentistry and fantastic materials, you can expect better outcomes! Using CEREC and Ivoclar-Vivadent products, the process becomes pretty straight forward. There are technical aspects, of course, associated with a case like this, but a seamless workflow makes the accom...
