Using BioCopy for posterior restorations is preferred when there is a need to post mill fit for an RPD or appliance. This video will review a very smooth workflow to accomplish great interproximal contacts and impeccable occlusion with BioCopy.  This video will also review the best margin thickness parameter for e.max to assure no marginal microchipping.

One of the most asked questions I have received in the last decade about the CEREC workflow is mastering occlusion with the finished restoration(s).  This video will address the major pointers I look for and apply when designing posterior restorations.  The content of this video applies to both Omnicam and Primescan users.

This video documents my workflow for scanning in veneers with Primescan.  This technique works well for Omnicam users, however, a light mist of Optispray will be needed to define the interproximal margin zone when using Omnicam.  Primescan has solved so many scanning issues of its predecessors (Omnicam and Bluecam).  Primescan is definitely a dream and captures thin enamel margins and undercuts to provide well-defined images and clean margins.

The Primescan is reliable for scanning large restorative cases.  This video will demonstrate the advantages of using a segmental prep and scan strategy for scanning larger restorative cases.  This technique will also work well for Omnicam users.

Can we be secure with finding and producing predictable subgingival margin quality?  Definitely yes with the Primescan. Definitely yes with Omnicam. This video reviews my current soft tissue management and retraction strategies and the technique for achieving margin certainty.

This video will review the workflow for designing the subgingival emergence for an implant restoration. When setting up the implant restoration in the model screen, we can choose to use or not to use the gingival mask for proposing the restoration.  How do we make this design choice?  This video will illustrate both options and when to use each approach.
