Be a master of intraoral scanner : for the beginners
This webinar offers practical advice on mastering intraoral scanning, especially using Medit scanners. It emphasizes starting with the right hardware—making sure your computer meets scanner requirements to avoid issues like lag or crashing. The speaker explains optimal scan strategies: start with occlusal surfaces, then move to palatal and buccal, using rotation techniques to capture contact points clearly. Quadrant scans are fine for single units, but full arch scans are recommended for larger cases. For bite scans, proper patient instruction and scanning angle are key to avoiding alignment errors and excessive “show through.” Operator error is the leading cause of inaccurate scans, so reviewing your scans before sending them to the lab is essential.
Dental Crown Procedure EXPLAINED
This video shows the procedure of a dental crown being placed on a root-canal-treated anterior tooth. In this case, the crown was milled in-office so the patient was able to receive their permanent crown on the same day (one-day visit crown appointment). Some offices may choose to send out their crown impressions to a dental lab, in which case, the patient would receive a temporary crown and return back on another day to receive their permanent crown (two-day visit crown appointment). FYI - a dental "cap" is another way to refer to a dental crown.
DENTAL CROWN TYPES. Zirconia, Emax, PFZ, PFM, Metal!! Choosing the BEST!
Do you think a zirconia crown or is always the best option?? What would you choose between a metal crown vs ceramic crown? In the past, it was easy to suggest a type of posterior crown for a patient. It was either a metal or PFM. Today, we have so many more material options that, even we dentists get confused suggesting the best option. This video will give u a clear understanding of the different dental crown materials available to us and the different case scenarios where each would be preferred. You will learn about the different types of dental crowns and the explanation for using Metal crown, a PFM (Porcelain fused to metal crown), PFZ (Porcelain Fused to Zirconia crown), Zirconia Crown and Lithium Disilicate Crown (Emax) depending on the case.

Implants
Which Implant System Should You Use?
This video breaks down how to choose an implant system based on restorability—not surgical factors. The speaker emphasizes that while most major systems offer a wide range of abutment options (like custom titanium, zirconia, UCLA, and angled screw channel), the right choice depends on the specific restorative plan. He explains how systems like Dentsply Astra and Nobel Biocare may limit certain treatments like splinted restorations or PFMs, and how implant sizeand zirconia implants often come with fewer abutment options. Other considerations include impression coping design, the stability of the implant manufacturer, and making sure the system aligns with your long-term clinical needs. Ultimately, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution—just making sure your chosen system supports your workflow.
Step by Step Dental Implant Procedure - Back Molar
Dental Implant Procedure Appointment 1 (Day 1): 3D X-ray (CBCT) and a digital impression are taken. Appointment 2 (Day 21): Dental implant is placed surgically with a surgical guide. The surgical guide enables the dentist to place the implant accurately without seeing the actual jaw bone, therefore, making the surgery minimally invasive. After the implant is securely placed, a healing abutment is placed. Appointment 3 (Day 28): Dentist checks if the implant site is healing well. Appointment 4 (Day 140): The healing abutment is removed, an impression post is placed, and impressions are taken for a crown fabrication at the lab. The healing abutment is placed back. Appointment 5 (Day 154): The crown (screw-retained) is finally ready. The healing abutment is removed, and the crown is screwed in. Dentist checks if it fits well. If fit is confirmed, the screw is further tightened, and the hole is filled with teflon tape and dental composite resin.
