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.

This video highlights my anterior prepping workflow for full crowns and scanning with the Primescan.  This approach works well for Omnicam as well.  The bur kit being used is by Meisinger (JK02).  The white stone used for finishing is from Meisinger as well, but not on the prep kit.  Please post questions or comments.

There are four primary software proposing options for anterior designs--BioCopy, Copy & Mirror, Biogeneric, and BioJaw.  All these proposal workflows have their place.  This video tutorial will review my Biogeneric workflow for multiple anterior teeth.  I still acquire a Biocopy catalog and activate this catalog to guide the placement of the anterior virtual restorations in the Design Phase screen.

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.

What are your posterior material selections for posterior CAD/CAM dentistry?  I get this question all the time.  To be reflective, it has changed over the years. I started with ProCAD and Mark materials.  Then e.max arrived! Now we have a plethora of zirconia options.  This video reviews my current view on CAD/CAM material selections in my posterior clinical theater.

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.

This tutorial will walk thought the products and workflow for cementing a zirconia abutment on the TiBase.  When crafting a two-piece implant restoration, zirconia for the abutment is my preferred material when designing in the premolar and anterior regions.
