Had a great CEREC 4.0 workshop today!  Milled a lot of e.max and LAVA Ultimate restorations.  The photo display restorations were designed and finished by one of the attendees (LAVA Ultimate 3M blocks).  Great job!  CEREC 4.0 is moving CAD/CAM dentistry to a new level of precision and morphological reality with the Biogeneric software.  Thanks Sirona for providing the field with incredible equipment/software and Ivoclar, VITA, and 3M for reliable materials.Read more
