Part i
Digital Dentistry has transformed our dental practices here in Wellington, New Zealand, and continues to revolutionize the field of dentistry. Although we are almost 8,000 air miles and 17 hours separated from our cockleages in the United States, I am sure that our digital trips share similarities. For us, he has a 15 -year -old company to transform our five dental clinics from the status quo dentistry comfort zone to a full -time digital workflow. Today, each of our clinics is equipped with a CERREC® system and all the latest materials and technologies professional sacrifices (Figures 1-3). In fact, we are passionate about the possibilities of digital dentistry that we open the first Digital Dentistry Training Center in New Zealand, where the dental professionals of related ideas around the world meet for live and online courses. Our mission is to ensure that dental professionals obtain the knowledge and trust they need to use digital dentistry effectively and efficiently.

That knowledge and trust we obtained from Ourney to achieve high quality restorations on the same day has completely changed the way we practice dentistry and the perception of our patients about how dentistry is practiced. Our patients are “impressed” by our ability to provide unique visits restorations, which has become a significant point of sale for families and friends and a great free and free marketing tool for our practice. Patients love the concept of leaving practice with a new beautiful and realistic smile (Figure 4-5), or more simply a crown of the same day. No more temporary; Do not wait for the week for the final restorations; and few final adjustments, if any, after the seats (figures 6-9).
Figures 4-5: This smile image change involved complete coverage crowns for teeth #13-23 IPS milling E.Max CAD in MT B1. Monolithic crowns were stained and glazed to optimize aesthetics.
Figure 6: This interdisciplinary rehabilitation of full Boca was performed in a patient with severe wear related to bruxism. Before treatment, the patient underwent orthodontic treatment and multiple implant surgeries, including sinus elevation.
Figure 7: The complete contour crowns for the teeth #1- #16 were shown of IPS E.Max CAD and adjusted in a 3D printed model before chopping and glazing.
Figure 8: The final restorations IPS E.MAX CAD are shot, stained and acrones.

Of course, our trip, like yours, would not be possible without proven technologies and research -based materials that provide the combined triofecta of strength, aesthetics and efficiency of the workflow. Over the years, we have placed more than 10,000 restorations promoted by DIGX, 90% were manufactured from a single totally ceramic material (IPS E.Max® CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent). Either a single crown or a quadrant, we trust materials that provide the aesthetics of the highest quality while maximizing our time, efficiency of the workflow and profits, as well as the comfort and convenience of our patients. For example, if we find the mesial or distal decomposition to a crown preparation, which is quite common, we can simply prepare ourselves® CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent), and join both in the same appointment (Figures 10-15).
Figure 10: This case of the same day involved restoring the teeth #1- #3 with crowns and complete contour inlays. The patient received similar symptoms similar to cracked tooth syndrome.
Figure 11: Duration Preparation of the tooth The amalgam fillings were removed, the decomposition was excavated and the structure of the committed tooth was reduced.
Figure 12: The preparations were scanned and the margins were offered with Cerec Primeescan.

Figure 14: The inlays were shown from a CAD Tetric block (Ivoclar Vivadent).
Figure 15: This immediate post-operation image shows the final restorations seated cemented with resin adhesive cement. Tetric cad inlays polished and the crowns corp iip e.max are stained, acrona and crystallized for the final aesthetics.
Perfect a digital workflow that is efficient, that maximizes the processes of time and that increases profitability requires constant adjustments as the field of digital dentistry continues to evolve. In part II, I will share the work flow processes that we have found more efficient and useful advice and techniques that we have incorporated to ensure that we provide optimal dental care on a single visit.
