BioReference for the single central
This was a new patient emergency who called at the end of the day yesterday. We booked him in a side room first thing this morning. He fractured endo treated #9 with existing implant-supported PFM #8. I was really not wild about the esthetics of #8, but we had to match the new crown to something. This is just about the only situation where BioReference is the preferred design mode.The software will "copy and mirror" the contralateral tooth and provide a perfect anatomic match to #8 with very little effort in design. The material was emax in shade A2 LT cemented with Variolink esthetic neutral.
Side note. We had a potential new employee on a working interview this morning. Very talented administrative assistant who we were trying to convince to join our team. I took her through the CEREC process and had her present during the cementation on this case. I asked her if she knew of any office in the state that could handle a single central in 90 minutes. The patient could not stop gushing about the service and the technology.
She accepted the position. CEREC... more than just a crown machine!

10 x the esthetics of my case. Just beautiful!
Now try that in 90 minutes with a full day scheduled, 2 additional emergencies and 4 hygienists chasing you down for exams.
I like your case, too, Bob.
Just do a little crown lengthening with sonicsys at #8.
Edit:
Oops, #8 is an implant. So this is a much harder situation.

my case was 75 minutes start to finish. No emergencies or hygienists though. :)
How do you guys count the minutes?
Does this time include the milling and the firing? X-fine milling?
Does 90 min mean the patient arrives at 9:00 and leaves at 10:30?

Mark
100% agree.
Nice real-world case Bob. Most patients don't care about the uneven gingival height, and it doesn't show with a low lip line. Great use of Bioreference.
