here are a number of ways to process a vertical dimension (VD) increase.  How much to open a VD can be a perplexing decision.  This video will provide a systematic method for opening the VD.  I realize there a number of philosophies and methods for finding and how much to open the VD.  I will share how I use the Shimbashi measurement.  The template for digital scanning a bite relationship provided in this video can be used for a deprogrammer and leaf gauge application as well.

Over the years of practice, I have used many oral appliances for retention, grinding issues, TMD diagnosis and relief, and setting up a clients' case for vertical dimension increase.  This video is about my favored removable appliance when the treatment aim is to increase the restorative vertical dimension.  This appliance is generated with the MC XL or Primemill milling. It has been one of the most streamlined appliances I have used due to the Primescan digital bite registration accuracy.

When I think back to dental school days, study models were part of the new patient records collection.  The ease of Primescan imaging can take a digital study model in 3 minutes or less.  The Primescan produces an excellent STL which can be used for a third party software, printing, appliances, aligners, and a digital wax-up.  This video will demonstrate my process for acquiring a Primescan study model.

IPS Ivocolor is a universal stains and glaze assortment for the individualized staining and characterization of ceramic materials. The range of products has been coordinated with the layering, press and CAD ceramics from Ivoclar Vivadent and the zirconium oxides from Wieland Dental and can be used regardless of the CTE of the ceramic. Due to the optimized sinter temperature of the newly developed glass, optimum esthetic results can be achieved irrespective of the ceramic substrate. 

The newly developed composition of the pastes was optimized with regard to the application behaviour and the firing results. The gel-type structure of
