Cracked 37: Digital Rescue by Dr. Navjot Dhillon

Today I attempted to channel my inner David K. Yang with a pair of posterior overlays on 36 and 37 (or 18 and 19 for my American colleagues).

Tooth 37 presented with a visible crack and symptoms consistent with irreversible pulpitis, requiring endodontic therapy. The RCT was completed chairside while the overlays were being milled, allowing for an efficient workflow and minimal patient downtime.

The preparations were designed for conservative overlays, maintaining as much healthy tooth structure as possible. The CAD/CAM workflow enabled precise anatomy and functional occlusion, with the final restorations fitting predictably.

I’ll admit the shade selection could have been better, but overall a satisfying case with a smooth digital workflow and a stable postoperative result.

High-Quality Results with MIDAS — by Dr. Caren Chilinharian

This case showcases two minimally invasive posterior restorations completed using the MIDAS workflow. Early caries and structural compromise on adjacent molars required conservative preparation supported by rubber dam isolation and selective caries removal to preserve maximum healthy tissue.

Refined enamel margins allowed for a predictable adhesive protocol, while layered composite was sculpted to recreate natural occlusal anatomy and seamless shade integration. The final restorations show excellent marginal adaptation, functional contacts, and an esthetic result that blends harmoniously with the dentition.

Once again, the MIDAS approach demonstrates its strength in delivering conservative, durable, and highly aesthetic clinical outcomes.

From Print to Perfect — Zero Adjustments Needed!
By Dr. Russell Schafer

So this week I had the chance to play with the Rapid Shape Pro 20’s Crystal Polish Reservoir, and I was impressed.
Usually, I’m printing Voco Splint, but it isn’t validated on the Crystal Polish yet, though KeySplint Soft is — so that is what I used. I don’t do a lot of night guards in my office, so I haven’t had much of a reason to play with this vat yet.

One thing that is very nice about Rapid Shape is that I love the workflows and how many resins are validated for my printer. The UI takes a bit of getting used to compared to others on the market, but after a few times playing with it, it makes sense.

The beauty of the Crystal Polish is that stuff just comes out looking pretty. I am able to print night guards vertically with minimal supports on the facial or lingual to prevent changing the occlusion, clean them up in my RS Wash, remove the supports, candy coat it slightly, and then cure in my Otoflash per the IFUs.

I used Clinux to design this night guard for my patient, and we are making her an MAD as well — but this will get her through for the next few weeks so she doesn’t break anything else. I love Clinux because the software is easy to use and everything just fits well.

I have been loving my 385 nm printers, and I can really see the difference in quality between these and my 405 nm Mini 8K and 8Ks. I mean, I should — because the Phrozens are under 400 bucks — but this printer certainly has a luxury car feel to it, in my opinion.

However, nothing is better than just putting a darn night guard in and needing zero adjustments. Patients, at the end of the day, don’t care how you make something — they just care about the experience. When things go smoothly, it is like you did nothing at all.
