Milling My First Cerec Crown

Hello friends! I milled my very first Cerec crown yesterday, and it was a beaut. The whole process was pretty simple considering how complex the technology is. I took the crown I designed last week and touched it up a bit and then electronically sent the file to the milling machine. The whole milling process only took about 13 min. I was going to take pictures, but the milling machine uses so much water that they weren't turning out very well. So I took a short video of the milling… Still a lot of water, but I think you can see how it works a little better. Have a great week! Enjoy! And Happy Thursday!

The block of composite my crown was milled out of. ^

Testing the fit on my typodont ^
Occlusion checked and crown seated. The margins were beautiful. I was really impressed with how well the machine worked. ^

    That's a great job! I think you're ready to make a real crown for a patient now. You definitely milled it accurately for that typodont, and that is enough proof that you’re ready to go to the next level. It's not all about the machine; it also includes your accurate measurements, which really takes a lot of skill. Good job!

    The reason I am always careful with my dental work is because some dentists don't do as good of a job. In Sandy, the dental groups are great. Keep up the great work!

    Stumbled upon this while doing some research. I have a practice in McKinney Texas and we mill our own crowns in office using a D4D. We have found it useful to have our own machine and lab as it helps us serve our patients better. Check us out at http://mckinneydentist.com
