For posterior e.max restorations, spray glaze is one of the most effective ways to achieve an excellent luster finish. This video will walk through my spray glaze application technique for posterior e.max. For anterior teeth, I tend to apply brush-on glaze for more micro-surface texture control.
Make sure your whole team views this video, it is excellent for training and standardizing the e.max finishing workflow.

Brush-on IPS Crystall glaze tutorial for all e.max glaze firing cycles and avoid glaze bubbling and surface glaze firing pits. This is precisely the posterior e.max glaze/stain technique I use in my clinical theater.

This tutorial is the first part of the stain & glaze trilogy series for the Ivoclar rapid e.max firing cycle (and it works for all the e.max firing cycles). Once the restoration is milled, the e.max posterior restoration is efficiently shaped for morphological refinement, surface texture, and surface finish using the Dr. James Klim Meisinger JK03 Lab bur kit specially designed for CEREC users.
This video will show the burs and polishing workflow I use preparing e.max for either brush-on or spray glaze Make sure your whole team views this video, it is excellent for training and standardizing the e.max finishing workflow.

What is the best way to clean-out cement when there is a crown or cement delamination? This video will document the furance temperature and effective way to clean-out cement and avoiding damaging the ceramic. This technique is also an excellent way to denature cement when needing to separate and remove the TiBase from an abutment or one-piece crown/abutment restoration if the color needs further enhancing.
Use a resting temperature of 550. Just close the furance cover at 550 P3 without activating P3 cycle.

Setting up the CEREC software for a seamless smooth design flow is defined by two preparation factors. This video will convey my take on prepping for success and is the core of my CEREC clinical success.

When do we, as CAD/CAM clinicians, choose a zirconia material over a lithium disilicate material in our clinical theaters? This CEREC case review video is an overview when making a decision on when to use zirconia and the steps for efficient Primescan Software design.

Primescan provides the dream scanning situation for inlays and onlays. The best we have had yet in the years of CEREC upgrade scanning devices. There is a caveat about which version of the CEREC software can best handle the two-piece implant restoration in the premolar or anterior zone of the mouth. In the opinion of Dr. Klim, it is the 4.52 software which means we still need the Omnicam. This case review video will illustrate the planning and implementation to restoring an implant restoration on a non-ideal placed implant and creating the illusion of a smaller mesial-distal tooth using the combo of the Primescn and Omnicam.

Here is a question I often hear, "how do I deal with e.max binding after crystallization"? I have seen this issue discussed in several FaceBook group threads. This video will share my take on this issue and provide a few pointers on how to deal with the e.max binding issue if that is happening in your clinical theater.

One of my clinical fascinations is technological advances that will streamline procedural flow and proficiency. Last year, we introduced the LiteTouch Er:YAG laser to the practice, primarily for removing and upgrading e.max veneers. There are many other soft and hard tissues applications this type of laser brings to the clinical theater. This video is about repairing a margin with caries on an e.max bridge placed over ten years ago. There are many benefits to removing diseased tissue with a Er:YAG laser: calibrated for selective caries removal, antibacterial activity, debris removal without producing a smear layer, surface

Part one video in BioJaw anterior design series. The way I save time in my anterior design theater is to go into the case preplanned with a wax-up which I now do in inLab, print the model and use the wax-up as a reduction guide and basis for making provisionals when needed. Time-saving comes from certain preparation reduction protocols for the case and then propose and refine with BioJaw, still using a BioCopy component to guide the BioJaw placement. One thing unique to this case review is the strategy used to block out a dark root.
