The historical recommnended 19 min 50 sec e.max speed crystallization fire time is the one that I have been using. There has been a shorter one being pushed that is under 13 min.
The research conclusion of the under 13 min protocol is now being documented. Two primary issues, less than full crystallization shift from the metasilicate to the disilicate leading to more opaque ceramic and rougher surface finish. Will this be a significant ceramic

This video tutorial will review my two Omnicam impression techniques. Having been a beta tester for the Omnicam, this camera is opically error proof. As long as the data is complete over the preparation and adjacent contact zones, it will fit! One important point, the Bluecam AC will provide equally as good virtual information and milled restorations as the Omnicam. I am still using both systems.

The steps for CEREC 4.0 virtual design is the same for the Omnicam virtual model as the CEREC AC Bluecam model. However, the colored virtual die doe add more flavor to the process. View Video Posted in CEREC Liftoff Chapter 9.

Sirona introduces a new historical camera to digital dentistry. The Omnicam is colorstreaming, similar to an intraoral camera and used in a similar way, except 3D. The camera size and ergonomics parallels a hand piece, facilitating easy access to the posterior segments of the mouth. And,

I often receive questions about managing e.max proximal contacts from the virtual design through the crystallization stage and prevent proximal contact opening. This tutorial will review the three step I take to assure ideal and predictable e.max proximal contacts. Video tutorial posted in CEREC Liftoff Chapter 6...view

Hi fellow CEREC colleagues...4.0.3 is working very well and have found that I have gone back to my 3.85 parameters for inlay/onlay. Best inlays margins I have ever seen with CEREC!!!!....even with the step S bur…Wow!
These parameter metrics are my current start position for 4.0.3. Inlay/Onlay Parameters.
Jazzed!

The Form Tools are defining a new level for Design Tool quality in the 4.0.3 SW released service pack. It is now an optimal tool to refine proximal contacts while in the Design Screen and has the added

Fine tuning the proximal contacts can be accomplished by working through a transparent virtual model. This tutorial will show you the method to set up a transparent virtual model to visually optimize the use of the CEREC design tools.

CEREC 4.0 BioCopy has been optimized in the 4.0.3 Service Pack. We are able to propose 95% of the BioCopy Image. This one proposal aspect significantly expedites the design process and will provide more predictable restoration(s) outcomes. BioCopy is my preferred design proposal approach when designing multiple anterior teeth. This BioCopy Optimized tutorial will review my latest Design
