Did you miss me?!

Hello! I haven't been able to post much since all of my time is spent seeing patients now…like real live patients. Since I had the rare occasion of being in sim-clinic I decided to throw up a few pictures for you to check out. 
We are working on our Cerec module and I actually remembered to take pictures. For those of you that don't know, Cerec is a machine that is capable of taking 3D images and milling a crown in the same appointment. It's pretty techy stuff. Enjoy! 

Impression with heavy/light body. I just like the colors. From here I mounted my models. 
My prep on #28 with HUGE margins. We were told we needed 1.5mm margins on our preps and I think they look ridiculous. 
Using the intra-oral scanner to take 3D images of my model. 
Action shot. 
You take 3 or 4 images and the computer stitches them together to create a master image.  Fancy.

With all of my scans in the computer, I am ready to design my crown and prepare it to be milled. 

Finished crown design. Kind of a wide contact on the distal, but I am satisfied. Next week we will mill our crowns. Stay tuned. 
Thanks for reading! Happy Wednesday!
