I use two glaze and coloring systems in my clinical theater, Ivocolor, and MiYO.  They both have their place—this video documents my glaze color system when I need an efficient turnaround time with beautiful results.

CEREC's entry to clinical use started with the inlay/onlay applications. I still opt for conservative restorations. This video responds to new CEREC user hiccups with the conservative CEREC restoration.

Two stain and glaze systems work very well in my clinical theater, Ivocolor by Ivoclar Vivadent and MiYo by Jensen.  Ivocolor is the most efficient and straightforward system, whereas MiYo colors have more depth perception and work well on zirconia and LT e.max ceramics.  However, MiYo takes more time and is not an efficient appointment support system.  This video will document the steps and colors used for an anterior e.max bridge stain and glaze technique.

This video is about shaping and texturing in an anterior e.max bridge (mastering your craft).  The process will be predictably accomplished with a systematic workflow and the right lab burs and shapers.

The anterior software workflow will be smooth when the case provides enough lingual occlusal room for designing the pontic/abutment connect size.  The SW workflow is similar to designing three individual teeth and then learning to use the Baseline Tool for the pontic and creating adequate connector size from the lingual.

There have been issues with the implant two-piece e.max mill fit between the abutment and crown.  I often experience the implant crown binding on the abutment and not fully seated.  This video will provide several parameter tweaks so the e.max implant abutment and crown will fit precisely.

This video highlights my incisal edge workflow for challenging cases with matching demands like a single central incisor.  There are several advantages to MiYO over other coloring stain and glaze systems. First of all, the lower values, high values, and color applications can be accomplished with one application and firing.  Second, what is observed in the application wet stage will be seen in the post-firing condition.  Though MiYO has many characterizing and color applications, this video will deal with the color incisal edge strategy setup and color application sequencing.

This video is my preferred anterior software workflow when working on the central incisor through the canine.  I have used this as one of my teaching cases in my Mastering Anterior CAD/CAM class for the last several years.
