3D imaging for implant planning and placement. We got what
we needed. We wanted the ScanPost instead of the short TiBase
for intra-oral imaging for more predictable outcomes. And we
wanted a provisional material with a hole that fit a TiBase
that would help us during the provisionalization stage
of implant restoration. And we got what we needed.
We know there will always be things that are
wanted. Sometimes we will get them. Sometimes
we will get what we need. I know one thing you
can count on. You can count on getting everything
you need concerning CEREC from cerecdoctors.com.

you are interested in orthodontics and oral appliances, whether

it’s the end of one year and the beginning of another.
A time to reflect and a time to think about the now. I think I’ll
start with the reflecting part first.

this Biojaw feature. Maybe we just got what we needed.
Of course, there are things we have wanted and have received.
Many have believed from a restorative standpoint the last horizon
that needed to be crossed was to be able to have the option of
having the use of zirconia chairside. Well, Dentsply Sirona has
really come through by adding chairside milling of zirconia with a
chairside software version. Read more about this groundbreaking
development in this issue.
Also, in Dr. Farhad Boltchi’s article, several of these “wants”
are talked about. We wanted integration between CEREC and
