Chairside zirconia options and speed have impacted chairside more than any other material since I have worked with chairside CAD/CAM over the last 20 years. This video will review the indications for the Prime Zirconia and the finishing steps for a polished posterior restoration before sintering and after sintering. The polishing technique conveyed in this video will work for all our brands in the CEREC zirconia universe.

Veneers have been an integral part of my CEREC treatment options going back to the RedCAM. The veneer software workflow has been the same since the CEREC 4.4 software. I am so grateful that DS has returned the View Option feature in our workflow. This feature becomes vital in aligning our midline and smile plain by how the model axis is aligned in the model screen. Using the Arch Front command in the View option, the software positions our virtual design to the smile plain axis and provides a streamlined approach to virtual finishing the incisal edges to the smile plane and midline alignment, referring to the midline design process.

MiYo 850 glaze and colors are changing the industry for e.max aesthetics. This video will work through the glaze and color applications and incisal effects rivaling our historical cutback and layering applications. In addition, we can accomplish the beautiful glaze and color effect with just one firing by applying MiYo 850 before crystalization.

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.

This video is my typical veneer bonding workflow. Though I now use Variolink Esthetic Dual Cure for easy cleanup, the light cure Variolink Esthetic is used in this video. This video is a bit long. Let me know how these longer videos work for you.

Over the last 12 years, my veneer trend has been to preserve more and more tooth enamel and engineer thinner veneers. I preserve at least 50% enamel surface or more for a strong adhesive interphase to enamel. A material like e.max has helped this journey due to its robust nature allowing our veneer applications to go down to 300 um and less than 50 um on the margins. This video is about my preparation strategy when I prep. And this case has it all, breaking contact on some of the preps, minimal prepping on others, and then almost no prepping on the premolars and molars.

This video is an introduction to conservative veneer workflow in addition to soft tissue laser recontouring before veneer preparation. The second video phase is about the incisal addition of composite to setup a more conservative incisal reduction for the final veneers.

Fabricating and using a Sil-Tech aesthetic jig is a predictable asset for aesthetic mock-ups. This video will review applications for a prototype before and during an anterior smile treatment and then the fabrication process for a mock-up Sil-tech jib.

The workflow present in the video is the strategy I use to complete a veneer case in the same appointment. Several pointers will help the process. One, go in with a mock-up and complete the projects in sections, so the milling starts early in the appointment. Two, have a predictable design and milling strategy, have the glaze coloring system down, and gain outstanding results.
