In my many years working with both Windows and Mac-based software, crashes do occasionally happen. I have experienced software crashing with CEREC. There are several steps that can be taken to assure that valuable data or software design steps are not lost with the occasional software crash. It is simply strategically saving at several steps during the software workflow.

My Crown Parameter portfolio for Primescan is similar to the last few versions of Omnicam except for one. This video will review how my Parameter management has been impacted by Primescan.
The minimal thickness parameters are now set to manufacture recommendations for each material used. This will provide instant feedback with engineering "checks and balances" during the software design phase.

This video will highlight my anterior ceramic shaping workflow for multiple anterior restorations, particularly when crossing the midline. However, anterior restorative success is mostly about understanding the patient's treatment expectations and then working through the biomechanical diagnosis and preplanning with either a traditional or digital wax-up.
The predetermined wax-up prototype is used for preparation guidelines and reduction, transitional restorations when using a two appointment protocol, and a digital BioCopy scan for digital design guidance. When these preliminary and preparatory guidelines are delivered to the

2020 will be a year of growth and excitement at the Klim Institute online CEREC training. We have an evolving software and will see several new applications that will provide a full range of care options for our patients. As exciting...new materials entering our CAD/CAM market this year.
I am most impressed with MiYO, a liquid ceramic that is painted on our ceramics like a stain and glaze. The results are magical. This will bring our chairside aesthetics applications to a whole new level not yet experienced in our industry.
The Klim Institute Online will be adding two new channels this year... Full Mouth with CEREC and

For posterior e.max restorations, spray glaze is one of the most effective ways to achieve an excellent luster finish. This video will walk through my spray glaze application technique for posterior e.max. For anterior teeth, I tend to apply brush-on glaze for more micro-surface texture control.
Make sure your whole team views this video, it is excellent for training and standardizing the e.max finishing workflow.

Brush-on IPS Crystall glaze tutorial for all e.max glaze firing cycles and avoid glaze bubbling and surface glaze firing pits. This is precisely the posterior e.max glaze/stain technique I use in my clinical theater.
Make sure your whole team views this video, it is excellent for training and standardizing the e.max finishing workflow.

This tutorial is the first part of the stain & glaze trilogy series for the Ivoclar rapid e.max firing cycle (and it works for all the e.max firing cycles). Once the restoration is milled, the e.max posterior restoration is efficiently shaped for morphological refinement, surface texture, and surface finish using the Dr. James Klim Meisinger JK03 Lab bur kit specially designed for CEREC users.
This video will show the burs and polishing workflow I use preparing e.max for either brush-on or spray glaze Make sure your whole team views this video, it is excellent for training and standardizing the e.max finishing workflow.

This video will convey my three primary software design steps for posterior "bread & butter" CEREC dentistry. Software design efficiency is set up first and foremost with two preparation factors and capturing a compressed PDL bite registration. My design efficiency will be determined by my design sequencing and selecting the tools that provide fast and purposeful desired design modifications.
This video is applicable for CEREC software versions 4.52, 4.61 and the lastest Primescan. The workflow is the same for both Omnicam and Primescan users.

What is the best way to clean-out cement when there is a crown or cement delamination? This video will document the furance temperature and effective way to clean-out cement and avoiding damaging the ceramic. This technique is also an excellent way to denature cement when needing to separate and remove the TiBase from an abutment or one-piece crown/abutment restoration if the color needs further enhancing.
Use a resting temperature of 550. Just close the furance cover at 550 P3 without activating P3 cycle.
