Had a great CEREC 4.0 workshop today! Milled allot of e.max and 3M LAVA Ultimate restorations. The photo display restorations were designed and finished by one of the attendees (3M LAVA Ultimate blocks). Great job! CEREC 4.0 is moving CAD/CAM dentistry to a new level of precision and morphological reality with the Biogeneric software. Thanks Sirona for providing the field with incredible equipment/software and Ivoclar, VITA, and 3M for reliable materials.

CEREC 4.01 provides an incredible acquisition optical flexibility as compared to prior versions of the CEREC software. I now have the flexibility to capture full buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal undercuts in my optical images without image distortion and fit challenges.
There are a few remaining 4.0 hiccups we need to work around as CEREC clinicans. This video will point out the hiccups and how to get around them.
