Fig. 8: These burs are used to prep the
crown. I began with the coarse diamond
followed with a fine-diamond bur. Use a
brownie to smooth the entire prep before
imaging. An electronic head piece is used
for a faster and better smooth-cutting
performance.
Fig. 9: This image conveys the purpose
of the burs used and displays how the
technology gives us a precise, smooth
surface for a perfect fit.
Fig. 11: The combination of a good
prep and worthy imaging means the
software will have the data needed to
create a perfect proposal as displayed in
this image. There was minimal to zero
adjustments needed in this case.
Figs. 12-13: These images show the
agreeable fit of the e.max before
crystallization.

Conclusion
Technology continues to develop. Just
thinkback to theRedcam,whenweneeded
to use a foot peddle to take a picture. Then
we updated to Bluecam, which had an
automatic image capture. Now, we enjoy
the far more sophisticated Omnicam,
which includes fast and accurate Color-
Streaming for full-color video capture.
However, as this technology becamemore
user-friendly, the principle stayed the same.
Wewill always need to get a good prep done
and acquire accurate tissuemanagement. By
firstdoing this, thesoftwarecan implement a
proposal thatwill ultimatelycreateanatural-
looking tooth from a standard monochro-
matic blockwith themethods of usinghand-
creatednatural glaze and stain.

Figs. 17-18: Before-and-after photos
illustrate how accurate the combination
of Biogeneric individual and Biocopy are
using the same technique.
Figs: 14-16: These
images show how
a monochromatic
block is transformed
with glaze and stain to
produce a natural-looking tooth. Multilink
Automix was used for cementation.

Fig. 10: Demonstrations of these preps
would be impossible with the naked eye;
I highly recommend magnifying loops to
help compose this type of master piece.
