Setting and monitoring goals is a major part of leadership. The hardest part of leadership for me in the last 30 years has been setting and maintaining boundaries. As a kid and clear into my early practice, setting boundaries was a negative experience for me. Now that I have practiced over 30 years, I know from experience with patients, team members, friends, kids, and spouse, that boundaries are what provide an atmosphere for security, safety, and growth. This video is my introduction for boundaries. After viewing the video, please provide below in the comments what you think the number one thing is when setting boundaries.

With all the new zirconia brands entering the market, it will be imperative to know the brand and particular strength metrics. Prep design and reduction indications will be all over the board based on the zirconia translucency and flexural strength. For the more conservatively prepared restoration, the zirconia used will need a flexural strength greater than 1000 MPa. This video will address the prepping metrics and protocols for the high strength zirconia brands.

Some of you are starting to receive the 4.50 software update. Make sure to update to the latest patch 4.51. If you have one of the latest towers, your system should perform well with this CEREC software update. If not, the system may need a few hardware tweaks until it is operating well with this version of the software. One of my most appreciated assets in the 4.5+ software is margin clarity. Has been significantly improved and easier to identify the margins. The linked video will demonstrate the latest in finding and drawing margins. I call it the emotional restorative peace factor. Margins are one of my things that make my day
