Excellent support and price on our medit IOS! Bought a second one a year later. Can always count on Armen and Frank for help when we need it. - 6/16/2020

I posted the first after having Medit for about 9 months. Loved it then, had great success with using the scanner to take full arch scans for clear aligner therapy, study models, removable partials, and crown and bridge. Have kept using it and am still very happy with the Medit and with Cad-Ray. The scanner takes care of so many things in a way that impresses patients and pleases lab techs. Whenever I hit a computer glitch, I call Armen, Frank or any other members of the gang and my problems are solved quickly and without drama.read less - 6/16/2020

The web site provided great step by step instructions. The Facebook group filled in the gaps. The software has been continuously upgraded and works great for scanning and tracking cases sent and received. My tip for scanning single crowns: While waiting for anesthesia, Scan the upper and lower quadrants and record the bite. Then i delete the tooth to be scanned. That saves time later after tooth preparation. At that time, switch to HD and scan the prep, done!read less - 6/16/2020

This has been awesome, to be honest I have know idea how to use it but our team members have picked it up so easy!! - 6/16/2020
For our coritec users: new users often mislabel restorations in the Rx form that leads to a lot of trouble. like calling a crown and onlay or vice versa. this can lead to all kinds of trouble
first sign of trouble is if the two purple lines don’t define the borders of the the restoration. sometimes it is missing, other times it is off the restoration. so always double check this step and usually the missed nomenclature is what causes the trouble.
the next problem people have is that the default setting for the sprue design is poor. it makes the sprue thicker at the mandrel than the restoration. this creates a crevice that the drill can’t get to. this leads to quick drill breakage as it tries to drill into that space (red circle). it is easy to set change these settings so the drill “flows” with the design of the sprue and you get a lot of use out of it. it’s annoying to do this manually so a subsequent video shows you how to change this by default.
another problem is the offset. the last video shows the distance from the restoration to the mandrel as 2mm. the drill is 2.5 in diameter. if you set it at 2, the calculation doesn’t allow enough space for the drill that also breaks it off. set it at 2.7 or 3 and it will last you a long time.
two subsequent videos will show you how to create your own blocks and change their orientation, so you can fit a taller design into a smaller size block
In Digital Dentistry, once you acquire your models accurately, the CAD software doesn’t care where and how you capture them. Once you are done with the design, the cam and the milling machine have no clue what scanner you used.
here we take an intra-oral scan with the medit i500 and design in exocad and send it to 2 different milling machines. One is the CEREC MCXL and the other is the imes icore coritec one.

When it comes to single visit dentistry (procedures in under 90 minutes), CEREC is tough to beat. From the integrated camera, CAD software and mill, CEREC is the most streamlined technology to serve patients in one visit.
Nevertheless, increasingly doctors are expanding their range of indications with CAD/CAM technologies and sometimes we simply want to combine CEREC with other equipment and software manufacturers. But wait, isn’t CEREC a closed system? Yes and no. While nobody would accuse CEREC of being a completely open system, it is possible to export .STL files of CEREC scans which gives us some flexibility to bring CEREC scans into other programs.
But today we are not focusing on exporting CEREC scans, but rather:
1) How can we bring scans from other cameras into CEREC?
Example: I own a 3rd Party Camera and I want to import those scans into CEREC for making crowns, etc.
2) How can we use CEREC to mill CAD objects made from 3rd Party Software?
Example: I own a 3rd Party CAD Software and want to import those into CEREC for milling.
But wait, I thought no 3rd Party files (scans or CAD designs) may be imported into CEREC. How, then, can we unlock the system? The missing piece to the puzzle is the inLab Software! With inLab Software, the CEREC system can be opened up for all kinds of interesting workflows. Here are two workflows CEREC owners constantly ask us about:
1) I own a 3rd Party Camera – How do I mill from my MC XL?
2) I own a 3rd Party CAD Software (e.g. exocad) and I want to mill (e.g. crowns) designed with 3rd Party software and mill them with my MC XL
Please note carefully the Requirements listed above!
– If you want to import a Scan .STL… You will need the inLab SW Interfaces Module, inLab CAD Software (18.0 and above) andthe inLab CAM Software (18.0 and above).
– If you want to import CAD .STL designs for milling… You only need inLab CAM Software (18.0 and above).
– In case you never owned any inLab Software before, or your copy of inLab Software is below 4.X, you will additionally need to order the License Stick (SKU: 6364785) and install the License Stick on the PC or workstation on which you are using the inLab Software (CAD or CAM). Please note this is NOT the same License Stick as you have on your CEREC AC unit!
– In no case can the inLab Software mill on the CEREC MC!

In this clinical case a patient lost a pre-existing crown. The remaining tooth structure had recurrent decay and a new crown was warranted.
After anesthesia was administered, the clearance from opposing dentition was assessed. The preparation was reduced to accommodate the necessary thickness of the material.
Once adequate clearance was achieved an Optragate was placed and an isolite was used to isolate the area. The preparation was scanned and then the lower arch was captured. The buccal bite was then taken to along the arches together
With Meditlink software, you have the option of designing the case yourself or sending it off to your partnered lab. The following video shows what happens to your case once the lab downloads the case
In this particular case, we designed our own crown and milled it with the coritec one milling machine
Once the amber lithium disilicate material was milled, its for was verified clinically. The crown was then crystallized and seated with NX3 resin cement
