This tutorial will demonstrate my step-by-step glaze and stain technique customizing the solid e.max abutment/crown.  My current favored stain and glaze system is Ivocolor.  It is a universal stain and glaze system "one on all" and works well on micro felspathic, lucite, disilicate, and zirconia surfaces.  Ivocolor is a very forgiving system, basically no bubbling.  It is very predictable, what you see with stain color harmony in the application state will be what is seen in the post-firing condition.

Product Recommendations:

  • Object Fix Flowable (Ivoclar Vivadent)

The CEREC software is at a point in time when creativity has new horizons.  This video will introduce how I use the software and PMMA Telio CAD blocks to make a splint appliance for TMD clients and part of the preliminary process when increasing the vertical for restorative purposes.

CAD/CAM has entered an expansion era of new materials. My top two comments about CELTRA DUO is its incredible marginal mill and polishability. CELTRA DUO has been around for a few years now and is gaining momentum in the CEREC world.  This video reviews my take on this material.  As clinicians, it is important that we understand the preparation and cementation protocols for materials with their clinical indications. When materials are applied appropriately we will have success.

Finishing zirconia when it comes out of the milling unit is referred to as zirconia in the green state.  There are a few steps that can be taken to really improve the surface quality of the green zirconia, and once sintered will save finishing time.

Omnicam interproximal and posterior distal axial surfaces are often difficult to capture when there is a limited oral access.  My secret to this dilemma is removing the reflection on the distal vertical surfaces.  This video will review the technique I use for very successful imaging.

#Case Review and CEREC software design flow for a maxillary premolar implant placement and restoration design when there is limited mesial-distal space.  The CEREC stretches a little more for rotated teeth and unique mesial-distal dimension conditions.  Design situations like this are when the design tools need to take over.  This videos will share my implant CEREC design flow when the initial proposal doesn't seem to work.  All it takes is a few strategic steps to get the design back in order.

This case review will emphasize the CEREC software flow for an anterior cantilever bridge. There are times a cantilever anterior bridge works out the best for the case.  This is one of those case reviews.  In fact, zirconia was required due to a more conservative preparation needed on the abutment canine.

Finally found a need for the Adjust Morphology feature and create a 3rd premolar rather than molar.  This feature is handy when there is not enough room for a molar morphological design due to mesial drift of distal tooth, a molar in this case, into the mesial edentulous zone.   This video tutorial will also be a unique demonstration for designing two side-by-side implants.  In this case Implant Direct Inactive 3.7 and 4.3 implants where placed using the "crown-down" technique and placed with a guide.  Virtually planned and guided implant placement can take a difficult implant and restorative situation and provide a very
