    Essix blockout

    I'm an in house tech in a perio practice, I use Tak Model Bloc for blocking out for these. It's easy to adapt, stays in place, easy to remove, and doesn't melt.

    Air Force Manual V1 and V2 available to view or download

    I just tried the links on two different computers as well as my iPad and my Samsung Note 4, it worked every time. They are semi large files for a PDF (46MB) so it may take a few minutes for it to load.

    Milling CEREC modelwork

    Hmmm. It's been a long time since I installed it. Iirc it took me a while to figure out how to make it work correctly. I'll have to mess around with it when I get some free time.

    Die Lube

    We've been using Ney Die Lube for a while now but the bottle is getting low so since we are going to be buying some I wanted to see what everyone else is using. Maybe there's something better out there.

    Dental Wings

    I have an opportunity to be a private tech for a perio practice. The doctor told me he is going to purchase a scanner, currently he's looking at Dental Wings because of how it integrates with the CoDiagnosix software he is currently using for his surgical guide planning. I'm not sure if he was...

    Shade changing

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to help a friend solve a problem that she has been having. Occasionally her pressings come out a completely different shade than what it is supposed to be. She's 100% sure that she used the correct ingot but as you can see in the photo, it looks drastically different...

    Restorations Du Jour

    Thanks! My dad, Rick Tittle, did all of the porcelain work. We have been very happy with the multi ingots. Those were facially layered with emax ceram. When layering like that the multi ingots give you a nice internal structure that evenly graduates from low translucency at the cervical to high...

    Restorations Du Jour

    Thanks for the compliments. The verification jig is made from a sheet of 1/8" thick clear pmma, we cut into an arch shape and drill holes as small as possible so we can use a minimal amount of luting material to attach the provisional abutments. We have found it to be a quick method to fabricate...

    Restorations Du Jour

    Here’s a full mouth case that I am in the middle of. The vertical was opened 2mm. So far we have completed the upper and lower anterior sections using A1 e.max multi that have been facially layered with e.max Ceram. We pressed all of these with JP Vest in my Ivoclar EP5000.

    Emax Value ingots

    They need more bleach shades in the Multi ingot line! Also, I updated my EP5000 to the 7.1 software yesterday and now I am having issues pressing the multi ingot. When I was using V7.0 it worked beautifully, I was very happy with it. The only thing that has changed is the software. I just got...

    New type of 3D printer

    They mention being able to print with multiple materials. It would be pretty rad to have a model printed with removable soft tissue as well as the dies. Even if you had to do it in separate printing cycles.

    JP VEST

    16mL special liquid + 8mL distilled water per 100g of investment. This is the ratio we have found that gives us the best fit. We are using an Ivoclar EP5000 for our pressing if anyone was curious.
