Just use a proper lab, really... In reality, this is completely inefficient. And you will never get even vaguely close to what a proper esthetic lab can do. It’s a great video to understand how esthetics is achieved but in real world doing it in your own office is completely counterproductive.
You are free to your opinions, I teach both dentists and laboratory techniques all over the world including the AACD, you may want to attend one day and learn a few things, your comments demonstrate the fact that you have a narrow perception of reality. Wishing you the best in life and don’t spend too much time looking under the rocks, that’s usually not where the answers to success are!
Thank you, Marcus, I’ve had some incredible mentors through the years, they’re all lab technicians, such as Lee Culp, Matt Roberts, and John Lavicka, I appreciate your comments and will strive to raise the bar.
I love this, I’m a cad/cam dental technician and finish all my work. I work at a prosthetic office with 5drs all have been or are professors at UCLA. This is awesome. I love the digital realm and how fast a beautiful restoration is made. Thanks for the tips and most of all thanks for making your teaching free ! 😊
Sir, what I wanna say and it won't be enough, thank you, just wanted to say it's amazing what you do, not only the hand work but as well sharing the knowledge, my hat off Sir and alot respects, wish you the greatest life ever.
I loved the video, I work with direct composites but will use some of your tips. I try to check the resources link, to see if I could download the model for practice... but I got a warning message: Warning: This URL has been blocked by Bitly's systems as potentially harmful. In any case, if you could share the model, we all would be eternally grateful. txs.
Yes, you can; it works well and was actually designed for post-crystallization applications. See the following video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HdLCIRPhH6I.html @@a1gle
This is a machined e.max lithium disilicate monolithic ingot. Once fired, the flexural strength is in the 500 MPa range, and fracture toughness is over 2.0. Strongest ceramic available today. Following the firing, a liquid ceramic will be applied. MiYO is the latest application.
@@KlimDDS I work with e press every day. I just haven't seen it graded towards the translucent like that. I much prefer lithium disilicate to zirconia, but I stack porcelain to it.
Super details! One thing I didn't understand (I'm a newbie at ceramics), you polished the crown but didn't glaze it, and still put it into the furnace. Why and what programm did you use? Thanks for answering.
For this video, the glaze and characteristics are added after the crystallization. In unique blending requirements, there are cases that are best characterized once the final shade and value is acquire via crystallization. On the other hand, with MiYO 850, the glaze and colors can be added to the blue block and achieve a nice out come. Pre glaze or post glaze workflow is applied considering the blend demands of the case. All the best.
A question: On a fixed bridge if a fake tooth is chipped off the fixed bridge can a ceramic, bonding or porcelain or something else be fused together to the metal of where the fake tooth that got chipped off or must the entire fixed bridge be replaced? In other words it is one fake tooth chipped on a 4 tooth fixed bridge and metal is now showing but can this be fixed without having to get a new fixed bridge? There is no problem with the fixed bridge it is with the chipped tooth on the fixed bridge because of accidently biting onto a fork while eating and chipping the fake tooth that is part of the fixed bridge. Thank you for taking my question.
I love your videos! How do you get a model to use when doing same day CEREC restorations? We have a 3D printer. Do you scan and print after prepping the tooth? This would add a considerable amount of time to the appointment. Just curious how you do this. Thanks!
Good quesiton Alissa. Which printer do you have? One of my favorites is the Asiga. The fast print cycle is 16 minutes. If the print is initiated right after the scan, then the printing can be happening during design and milling.
Thank you for your videos, another thing that I do when countering and marking with a pencil I scrape some pencil lead and use it to smear it on the tooth that I am trying to copy, by doing this all the details will stand out.
Great point Aron. One thing I recommend when observing surfaces and shaping is using a light source from the side rather than straight on, this will provide shadowing and provide improve observation of contours and texture. All the best and thanks for the comment.
Great Florian, best wishes in shaping; it is a skill set that grows with time and experience. Keep at it; you will have something exceptional to give back to your patients. Thanks for the comment. All the best!
