Contents 38 CEREC ® Connect: A Welcomed Upgrade for CEREC Users Purchasing a digital impression system requires a significant financial investment. At the lab, our customers are slowly warming up to the idea of sending cases digitally, which saves $20 per unit when model-free restorations are prescribed. There are many systems available — Sirona CEREC AC, E4D Dentist , Lava C.O.S., CADENT iTero and IOS FastScan . In his article, Dr. Carlos Boudet outlines the steps for sending a digital file to the lab via CEREC Connect. 47 Optimizing Occlusal Results for Crown & Bridge Prostheses Dr. Len Boksman discusses various impression-taking techniques and materials. He explains that, in order to achieve predictability in mounting or articulating models, it is important to use materials of matching accuracy. Dr. Boksman also presents his recommendations for reducing occlusal adjustments on restorations. These tips will ultimately save time and reduce stress at the delivery appointment. 57 The Wynne Hybrid Advancements in material technology have presented us with many opportunities to improve our patients’ smiles. However, as Dr. William Wynne explains, there is not one superior dental restoration or material combination for all cases. For conservative restorations, he advocates using his Wynne Hybrid-designed Captek Nano crowns that combine the versatility of a metal-ceramic system with the benefits of pressed ceramic porcelains. CORRECTION: In the 2011 winter issue (Vol. 6, Issue 1), on page 14 of the article titled “Are you Using ‘Gray-Market’ or Counterfeit Dental Products,” Chairside published a photo of popular product Septocaine. Glidewell Laboratories, by choosing this photo, was not insinuating that Septocaine or other Septodont products are inferentially more subject to gray-market sales than are similar products. 2 www.chairsidemagazine.com

Editor’s Letter First and foremost, I’d like to give a big thanks to everyone who voted for me in the 2011 DrBicuspid Dental Excellence Awards. Being voted “Most Effective Dentist Educator” is a true testament to the talent and dedication of many people who work behind-the-scenes here at the lab. Every person named on the Chairside magazine masthead to the left contributes to the success of this publication. As editor-in-chief, I focus on content that will be of interest to a large number of dentists. And while I am responsible for the content, it is our creative director, Rachel Pacillas, and the members of her editorial and design team who make the magazine come together so beautifully. My goal with Chairside is to share with you what I see at the laboratory — whether I am looking at preps and impressions or noticing what doctors prescribe. Even if you don’t read every article, my hope is that you will at least look at the pictures and read the captions, so I try to keep those as informative as possible. This honor also acknowledged the clinical DVDs we’ve been producing at the lab for the past decade. We have come a long way in improving the visual quality of our clinical footage. It took a $30,000 camera lens investment to be able to fill the screen with tooth #8 and #9 when it is desirable to do so. We recently upgraded the rest of our equipment, and now everything we shoot is in full 1920x1080 HD. Soon you will be able to request Blu-ray DVDs as well. Videographer James Kwasniewski acts as my cameraman, and he has to be the best dental editor in the U.S. I strongly believe in our video education because you can’t Photoshop live video — what you see is what you get, versus still images, which can always be edited. Last but not least, I’d like to thank Jim Glidewell for paying to produce this educational material, and then providing it to the dental community free of charge. It’s one thing to say you want to give back to the profession that has given you so much, and quite another to send 4 million free DVDs and 2 million free magazines to U.S. dentists each year.
