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

The Dimension Tool provides an efficient and simplistic approach to modifying the buccal-lingual, mesial-distal, or the full size of the proposed restoration. The concept is similar to the Pre-positioning feature in the SW prior to 4.0. Released in the 4.0.3 Service Pack. View Video (located in CEREC Liftoff 4.0 Integration Chapter)

An optical impression to build a die for multiple teeth can be very streamlined in CEREC 4.0. My preferred design mode when designing multiple anterior teeth is

Recently, several doctors have asked the following question:
“I had a crown de-bond, the patient has the crown but it has resin cement still bonded to the inside of the crown, what do I do to remove it?” The simplest solution is to place the crown on a honey comb tray and fire in a furnace for about 5 minutes. Resin will burn off during this

IPS Empress CAD is leucite glass ceramic offering three translucencies (Low, High, and Multi) that offer excellent esthetics to compliment high strength and over 20 years of clinical success in press and CAD/CAM technology. A feature of Empress CAD is the increase in fracture strength when glaze firing the final restoration. The chart below shows the fracture strength of Empress CAD when milled, milled & polished, and milled & glaze fired. A glazed
