Applying the art and craft of ceramic shaping and micro-texturing takes our aesthetics skills to the next level. This video tutorial will walk through my shaping workflow for a single central. As the saying goes, once you have mastered the single central workflow and aesthetic blend, you will have reached the pinnacle for anterior aesthetics clinical applications.

There are four ways to propose in the CEREC software for anterior work. This video will demonstrate the software workflow for Copy & Mirror and is my preferred method when the adjacent central is in good shape and form. This is Part one in a series of start to finish (shaping, stain/glaze, and polish) for a single central.

The ceramic milled and finished restorations just dropped in! I have noticed better contact precision when designing multiple side-by-side restorations with Primescan. We did have one hiccup with this case. The centrals needed a brighter shade. This video will share how the two e.max cental restorations where cemented temporarily and rescanned, used for BioCopy design, and then milled for a brighter shade. Shade issues happen occasionally when working with thin ceramics, this is my workaround method for cases like this!

Anterior BioJaw is a software feature where the user can choose from templates and design a virtual smile setup. The BioCopy catalog is used as a virtual position guide for tooth size, position, and tip. The value of BioJaw is the resulting cleaner virtual design than with BioCopy design. This video will journey through the software design workflow for multiple anterior virtual designs using BioJaw.

This video will demonstrate the aesthetic transformation of a posterior ZirCAD Multi bridge using the MiYO system by Jensen. The MIYO liquid ceramic system has transformed my ceramic and zirconia aesthetic clinical theater. It is a low fusing ceramic system and can be applied to all our CAD/CAM ceramic and zirconia systems. There are many assets to the MiYO system, but several of my favorites is that it is very easy to apply, multiple color combinations can be applied with one application, what is seen in the pre-fired state is what will be observed in the post-fired state, and the color characteristics appear to be embedded in the

This is the third video in the posterior ZirCAD Multi bridge series. For the majority of my posterior bridges, I will polish only, unless the aesthetic blend requires more attention. This bridge will be placed in the upper left buccal corridor and is part of the secondary smile zone. MiYO by Jensen will be the stain and glaze product for the final characterizing phase. One thing that is nice about MiYO is that it can be applied to a highly polished surface. With this surface application characteristic, the zirconia bridge can be fully polished in preparation for the MiYO stain, glaze, and structure application.

Primescan has made the full arch and full mouth scan a routine simple process in my clinical theater. This video will walk through the steps for processing an implant tooth Essix retainer. I currently have the Sprintray Pro and Asiga printers. They are both excellent printers and serve an important part in my daily practice. I will also share the products and method for tacking in the temporary tooth to the Essix retainer.
- Asiga or Sprintray Pro printer
- Ministar Forming Vacuum
- SR Connect (Ivoclar)
- Adhese Universal (Ivoclar)
- Flowable BulkFill (Ivoclar)

Part 2 for creating a posterior ZirCAD multi Bridge. Once the bridged is machined, what are the steps to effectively shape and finish the bridge before sintering? I follow a routine shaping workflow using the Meisinger JK04 Zirconia Lab Kit. Quite often, when using the multi zirconia options such as Katana or ZirCAD Multi, I will use selective infiltration to control value and enhance the multi-effect when the case demands a better blend.

There are a few additional steps when setting up an implant restoration(s) in the administration screen. The first thing to check is affirming that the implant size and brand are in the current software system. Most mainline implant brands are. Before scheduling the patient, order the corresponding ScanPost. Scanning and fabricating an implant restoration is one of the most efficient and predictable applications in the CEREC software.
