Technology is the equalizer and the differentiator.
Once you establish your foundation, what other assets do you focus on to skill up your business and and your patient care?
In this video I briefly summarize the 5 major advantages that technology offers to any dentist, specialist, or lab technician and why they should care about them.
Here are a pair of apps that are super helpful and very powerful. Most of the cases you see on CAD-Ray have the case files attached to them.
Usually they are zipped and compressed. You can download them, unzip them and then actually import it into a powerful 3D viewer called Emb3D.
Here’s another example of an onlay case scanned with the Medit i500, obj file produced and imported into Emb3D

This is a first molar crown that was replaced with an in-office milled eMax restoration. The adjacent second molar had recurrent decay under the existing class 2 restoration. That was removed and replaced and pre-existing crown was also removed.
The preparation was refined and the recurrent decay was removed. Once hemostasis was achieved and the tissue was retracted the area was scanned with the medit i500. The crown was designed to full contour and milled chairside. After it was chrystalized, it was bonded into place with Nx3 resin cement. The excess was removed and an immediate post-op bitewing was taken to verify that no excess cement was left behind.

This video shows the design of a crown after the impression was taken where vivid colors of the retraction cord, the sulcus, the preparation, and the details of the adjacent tooth can be visualized.

Upon preparing the second molar for full cuspal coverage, the lack of clearance necessitated a refining the preparation. The great part of digital dentistry is that you don’t have to take a whole new impression.
You can just selectively crop out the area that needs refinement, protect the areas you are satisfied with, and fill in the areas that are missing data. You can see how this case was managed in this video and how the final buccal bite was captured. We always recommend that you capture the bite at the last step so that you can verify clearance through the camera itself.
