With the current version of the CEREC software, the most effective scanning sequence for implant applications is scan the quadrant with or without the healing collar in the Quadrant catalogue for the particular arch being treated. The Scanbody catalogue is now used to capture the ScanPost scan. No copying the catalogue over and cutout feature for the ScanPost. Just a new Scanbody catalogue. Very smooth process and has expedited the scanning process. View Video

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

I am often asked the question, why is there sensitivity after e.max restorations are placed. Even when using a good adhesive primer. Watch the video and find my perspective. In general, the adhesive systems in our current market portfolio perform very well and have significantly diminished post cementation sensitivity. So why may we occasionally observe this event in our restorative clinical theaters. For Bluecam and Omnicam users, it comes down to over drying and desiccating the dentin prior to imaging. In this video, I will review some pointers in getting around the imaging issue. I do agree, the dryer the image field, the better
