CEREC Outside the Box

Here is an example of using the CEREC 'Outside the Box.' This case was done by Dr. Tarun Agarwal of Raleigh, N.C., using the CEREC and the newly FDA-approved Sirona abutments. Instead of using the zirconia intermediary piece, he milled an emax crown directly to the Tibase metal abutment. Great thinking outside the box, and a great restorative option for the patient. Total cost is far below doing anything traditional. I think 2011 will bring some incredible changes to the CEREC system, allowing all of us to do this type of work with ease. This case is an experiment in that it showcases what can be done.
