A new software is coming. The CEREC Doctors faculty are beta testing it now. Sirona usually releases new software around the Chicago midwinter meeting. I think you will be pleased. Abutment software - Its here in Europe. In the US we are waiting on FDA approval. You will be able to take a fixture level impression digitally and design right off that digital model both your abutment and final crown. Labs will have this first, then clinicians. Its why Im investing in the inlab software. CEREC Galileos integration - its here and its getting better. Expect to mill your own surgical guides in 2011. Imagine being able to take a scan, place your implant digitally and then make a surgical guide from that scan. Vita - Real Life Crowns - no more triluxe, better incisal translucency. Picture below: [VITABLOCS RealLife_] Bridges - word on the street is bridges are being worked on by several companies. I dont think we will have a monolithic bridge made out of zirconia. Instead, I think it will be something like a hybrid bridge, maybe a zirconia core and another material that is layered on top. The two layers fused together somehow. Thats all I can share right now. As we get more information that we are allowed to release, we will certainly share it with you guys. Have a great 2010.
