1 CAD/ CAM SYSTEMS INSTRUMENTS HYGIENE SYSTEMS TREATMENT CENTERS IMAGING SYSTEMS NEW Now with CEREC Omnicam CAD/CAM for the dental practice CEREC. Made to inspire.

2 CEREC users Inspiration has many different faces. And only one system: CEREC. For many years CEREC has been inspiring users worldwide. Dentists who were initially skeptical about CAD/CAM technology often become the most enthusiastic practitioners. And not only users are inspired. State-of-the-art treatment during a single appointment is a totally new experience for patients. Word of this spreads fast and it soon becomes the flagship of the dental practice. For dentists the defining feature of CEREC has always been enhanced job satisfaction. On the following pages we invite you to discover the unrivaled CAD/CAM world of Sirona including the brand new CEREC Omnicam camera together with nine CEREC dentists. Verify for yourself the unique and inspirational potential CEREC offers. Enjoy every day. With Sirona. Full versions of the interviews can be found on: Dr. Günter Fritzsche, Hamburg, Germany n Was one of the first dentists to try out the CEREC Omnicam n Was keen to eliminate the need for powder coatings in connection with chairside restorations Dr. Gordon Boyle, Kirkintilloch, United Kingdom n A CEREC user for just under one year n CEREC has brought a new energy and team spirit into his practice Dr. Elsa Bettoni, Locarno, Switzerland n Relies on CEREC as an integral part of her treatment philosophy n Looks forward to exploiting the new possibilities of the CEREC 4.0 software Powder-free scanning was a long-standing wish of mine. One that has finally come true. For this reason I insist on using the CEREC Omnicam. I m not joking: since I ve been working with CEREC patients even ask me when they can have their next appointment. Previously it was me doing the asking. I always let my patients watch the design process. If there is one thing that demonstrates just how modern my dental practice is, then it s CEREC. And now even more with CEREC 4.0 software.

3 Dr. Tomoko Takeda, Tokyo, Japan n Decided in favor of CEREC 3D six years ago n Now works even more efficiently thanks to CEREC Biogeneric CEREC Biogeneric creates customized restorations for each individual patient. No tooth database is capable of this. In the past I spent ten minutes designing a restoration. Now, I need only three minutes. Dr. Bernhild-Elke Stamnitz, Langen, Germany n Purchased CEREC even before she had acquired her own practice premises n Controls the treatment outcome herself through the rational deployment of modern technology I rely on modern technology when I want precision. And CEREC is precise: it does precisely what I want. Dr. Stéphane Kassel, Belleville-sur-Meuse, France n Wasn t sure about buying CEREC as his best friend is a dental technician. A live demonstration with a dental dealer finally convinced him. n Thanks to CEREC he has been able to extend his treatment portfolio. With CEREC I can create genial designs to exact individual requirements at any time. I control the entire process. Now I have become a dental recréateur. Dr. Gregor Findeis, Odenthal, Germany n Already working from CEREC 2 onwards and recently implemented Sirona Connect n A strong believer in precision based on sound technological knowledge Dr. Carlo Raimondo, Verona, Italy n One of the first CEREC meets GALILEOS users n Trusts CEREC, GALILEOS, the SICAT surgical guide and his dental technician Andrea Sartor Dr. Michael Maier, Munich, Germany n Often receives spontaneous praise from patients, thanks to CEREC n Relies on scientific studies and gladly passes on his experience to his colleagues I have created various conventional and digital bridges in parallel the fit of the Sirona Connect restorations was astonishingly good. And I am not normally so easy to impress. Combining CEREC with the data from the GALILEOS 3D X-ray unit was the best thing that Sirona could have done. This has created an integrated platform for reliable implant planning. I could tell you a lot about the CEREC system, but you should really experience it live in action. Afterwards, you will not want to treat your patients any other way. That is for sure

4 CEREC system competence CEREC chairside: One visit dentistry. Why is it so easy to integrate CEREC into your practice? That is simply where it all happens.

8 Powder-free scanning with CEREC Omnicam The new CEREC Omnicam heralds the end of conventional impressions. Dr. Fritzsche has been familiar with CEREC since the early days i.e. from the time the system still lacked an intuitive user interface and a design function for the occlusal surfaces. However one thing has not changed: Using CEREC is never boring. As a user you can constantly develop your skills in parallel with the technology. The new CEREC Omnicam is a further quantum leap. Soon I will be able to do without conventional impressions in every treatment situation, he predicts. Dr. Günter Fritzsche is a CEREC user in his own dental practice since He has more than 20 years of experience as a CEREC Trainer and averages ca. three CEREC cases per day. An extended interview can be found on:

9 Powder-free digital impressions with the new CEREC Omnicam: Scanning simplicity. An extremely talented all-rounder: powder-free scanning, unrivalled handling and precise 3D impressions in natural color! CEREC Omnicam is the new sensation in the CAD/CAM camera sector. Acquiring digital impressions has never before been so easy, intuitive and ergonomic. n Unrivalled handling Perfect access Thanks to the slimline design and the compact camera tip, you enjoy easy access to the posterior teeth. Regardless of whether the patient is sitting upright or reclining, you can scan the upper and lower jaws ergonomically. Seamless scanning process You simply move the camera head closely over the teeth in a single flowing movement. The data is generated successively into a 3D model. The seamless scanning process delivers an impressive depth of field. What s more, you can interrupt and resume the scan at any time. The benefits of CEREC Omnicam n Unrivalled handling n Powder-free scanning n Precise 3D images in natural color n Powder-free scanning CEREC Omnicam is optimized for the powder-free scanning of the natural tooth structures and gingiva. Simply place the camera over the relevant area and the scan starts automatically. The elimination of the powder coating means that the scanning process is easier to learn. Full-arch and half-arch scans can now be performed more conveniently and quickly than ever before. n Precise 3D scans in natural color The various surfaces are shown in their natural shades. This direct feedback helps you to navigate your way around the oral cavity. In addition, it enables you to distinguish between amalgam, gold or composite. Clinically it provides a clear differentiation between gingiva and the preparation margin. n Effective communication with patients The CEREC Omnicam boasts a dedicated patient counseling mode in which you can record video clips and present these directly to the patient. The lifelike visualization of the teeth and gingiva helps to convince the patient of the need for treatment. He or she will more readily understand and accept your therapy proposals. Optimum access to the molars the CEREC Omnicam is compact and fits perfectly into your hand. An impressive sight the on-screen visualization of the model in 3D and full color

10 Precise scanning with CEREC Bluecam If only I had known earlier, how easy it would be to inspire my patients. Impression tray or CEREC Bluecam? Gordon Boyle always leaves this decision up to his patients. Almost all of them opt for the CEREC Bluecam. Many simply cannot believe how quickly treatment can be performed. He too is thrilled with the outcome: satisfied patients, a newly motivated practice team and natural-looking aesthetic results. His family is not quite as euphoric. They are fed up with me constantly enthusing about CEREC, Gordon Boyle admits with a smile. Dr. Gordon Boyle, started using CEREC in He has a small practice with 140 m² of floor space, a team of nine employees and performs six CEREC cases per week. An extended interview can be found on:

11 Scanning with the CEREC Bluecam: The proven performer. Easy operation, tried-and-tested Bluecam technology and rapid single image acquisition. Countless users worldwide use the CEREC AC with CEREC Bluecam on a daily basis. With CEREC Bluecam you can scan powdered tooth surfaces in just a few seconds. This camera delivers outstanding precision and efficiency, and is particularly suitable for single-tooth restorations. The benefits of CEREC Bluecam n High precision, proven thousands of times in clinical practice n Easy to operate n Rapid acquisition of powder-coated surfaces n Automatic image capture The CEREC Bluecam acquires a series of single images which are then computed with great precision in order to create a virtual 3D model. The camera automatically detects the right moment to trigger the exposure. n Uninterruptible power supply (optional) This allows you to temporarily transfer your CEREC AC to a second treatment room while milling is still in progress. You can then immediately start acquiring further digital impressions. Data can also not be lost during a brief power cut. n Shake-free images The short capture time of the CEREC Bluecam prevents any blurring. In addition, the built-in shake detection system ensures that images are acquired only when the camera is held absolutely still. The CEREC software then automatically selects the optimum image data for the 3D model. n Extensive depth of field You can either place the CEREC Bluecam directly on the tooth with the aid of the camera support, or else capture the images leaving a small clearance between camera and tooth surface. In both cases the parallel light beam and the extensive depth of field ensure excellent image quality and ease of use.

12 Design using CEREC 4.0 software Each patient and each prosthetic restoration is different. It is really important to be prepared for every eventuality. Elsa Bettoni s working day starts at eight o clock in the morning. Numerous treatment procedures e.g. crowns have already been scheduled and will be performed routinely using the CEREC system. But most of all she looks forward to unplanned, complex cases where she has to think quickly and come up with the right solution. Elsa Bettoni is then in her element all the more so now that she has the CEREC 4.0 software at her fingertips. It allows her to design and adapt several restorations simultaneously. This is a major advantage for her and for her patients too. Dr. Elsa Bettoni has been a CEREC user since her postgraduate training under Professor Mörmann at Zurich University. A CEREC instructor since 2005, she opened her own CEREC practice in An extended interview can be found on:

13 Design using CEREC 4.0 software: Enjoy more creativity. The best restorations are the result of teamwork between your expertise and our software. Based on years of development experience, the CEREC 4.0 software is tailored exactly to your requirements. Using the new intuitive user interface of CEREC software 4.0, you do not require any special computer skills in order to create perfect restorations in just a few easy steps. The transparent workflow puts the right functions at your fingertips at all times. This allows you to work intuitively and directly on the 3D tooth model to create natural occlusions with a single click. The benefits of the new user interface n Clearly structured with self explanatory icons n Maximum control over each processing step n Clear and intuitive navigation n Easy to use, particularly for new users n Intuitive user interface The user interface is clearly structured and employs selfexplanatory icons. You always know where you are in the streamlined design process and are guided step by step. Only the appropriate design tools are displayed that you need at any given time. n Natural occlusions with a single click CEREC Biogeneric has revolutionized occlusal design. With a single mouse click this patented process reconstructs the patient s individual tooth morphology. CEREC Biogeneric can be used for all types of restorations crowns, veneers, inlays, onlays, as well as full anatomical temporary bridges. n Direct modification on the tooth The CEREC 4.0 software facilitates the easy editing of the virtual restoration. Simply click and hold down mouse button, move the mouse and the job is done. You work directly and intuitively on the tooth and are in full control of the process at all times. n Multiple restorations Depending on the given treatment situation, you can work simultaneously on several different restorations. When performing a complete anterior reconstruction, for example, you have the option to design veneers, crowns and bridges in parallel. The design tools can be applied to contralateral teeth in two different quadrants. This produces highly aesthetic results and delighted patients. Also fascinating for your patients: watching the virtual tooth being modified. Clear and self-explanatory images: intuitive down to the last detail e.g. bur change

14 Design using CEREC Biogeneric Does CEREC Biogeneric work on Japanese teeth? Tomoko Takeda is not surprised that her colleagues repeatedly ask this question. It is a question I have asked myself, she confirms. The existing tooth databases proved to be unsuitable for her Japanese patients, resulting in extensive reworking of the restorations. By contrast, the biogeneric design proposals delivered by the CEREC software are astoundingly good. I never imagined that the software could be so patient individual, Dr. Takeda says before turning to her next patient, whose tooth anatomy will also be decoded within just a few seconds. 1 ACQUISITION Dr. Tomoko Takeda opened her own practice in She works with two treatment units, employs one dentist and became a CEREC user in She treats an average of two CEREC cases per day. An extended interview can be found on:

15 CEREC Biogeneric: Natural occlusions with a single click. The analysis of the genetic information stored in the patient s own dentition produces natural occlusions in just a few seconds, combined with the security that this is a patented process. It sounds like science fiction, but with CEREC it is very simple. Acquire a digital impression, define the preparation margin, click and CEREC Biogeneric takes care of everything else. This unique software tool enables you to create customized, patient individual restorations on a sound scientific basis. And best of all, the design process is identical for all indications inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns and full anatomical temporary bridges. CEREC Biogeneric is the fast and simple solution for customized natural restorations in every clinical situation. The CEREC chairside process: scan, define and the job is done 1 Acquire the preparation jaw and the opposing jaw with the CEREC Omnicam or CEREC Bluecam. The bite registration is captured by a buccal impression. If information is missing it can be acquired subsequently anytime. 2 Define the preparation margin with just a few clicks the software helps you to mark the margin and supports you with a rotatable 3D view. 3 Done: the biogeneric initial proposal with customized natural occlusal contacts is generated in the software automatically. 4 Prior to milling the restoration is visualized in the block to optimize the aesthetics. You can find out more about the basic principles of CEREC Biogeneric in the interview with Prof. Albert Mehl available on: Biogeneric initial proposal compared to the finished restoration in vivo. This example shows an onlay by Dr. Bernd Reiss. The benefits of CEREC Biogeneric n Unique scientifically based patented process n Tooth morphology can be derived from any available reference tooth n Customized patient restorations with a single click n Identical design procedure for all indications MODEl DESIGN MILL

16 Milling with CEREC MC XL I prefer to mill ceramic instead of my patients natural teeth. This corresponds to our treatment concept. I had wanted to work with CEREC since my time at university. And also my patients prefer not to bite down on unpleasant impression material. Only Josef Kopping, the dental technician in my in-house lab remained skeptical, until one of his pressed inlays suddenly fractured. Thanks to CEREC I was able to resolve this problem immediately. We three CEREC, Josef Kopping and I now work as a perfect team together. Our objective is always to provide defect-oriented treatment while conserving as much natural tooth tissue as possible. Dr. Bernhild-Elke Stamnitz started using CEREC when she set up her dental practice in She employs one dentist, has her own dental lab and performs up to six restorations per day An extended interview can be found on:

17 Milling with CEREC MC XL: Everything fits together perfectly. All the components of the CEREC system fit together perfectly from the acquisition of the digital impression to the milling of the final restoration. The user-friendly CEREC 4.0 software, the fully automated milling process, the clinical benefits of all-ceramic materials, complete treatment in a single session as well as positive feedback from patients all these factors combine to maximize your job satisfaction. And if you decide to install the milling unit in your reception room, you will create a real talking point and focus of interest. n CEREC MC XL: precise, fast and versatile The CEREC MC XL delivers professional, long-lasting results in just a few minutes. It mills restorations with a textbook accuracy of ± 25 µm. The clearly laid-out control panel and colored status illumination ensure optimum ease of use. n CEREC MC XL with Premium Package: for practice labs The option Premium Package turns CEREC MC XL into a versatile multi-purpose practise lab unit. All CEREC Chairside and inlab indications can be milled. In-house milling is a cost-effective option Did you know that you can mill a crown in just ten minutes and incur production costs of only 30.

18 CEREC indications and materials News of CEREC has spread fast. Particularly since the incident with the mayor. Eleven months have passed since Stéphane Kassel first used CEREC to replace an amalgam filling on a patient his assistant. He now works with CEREC on a daily basis. He recalls an unforgettable incident involving the local mayor, who came to the practice with a fractured front tooth just a few hours before an important ministerial visit. Stéphane Kassel was able to treat this problem immediately and the mayor left the practice feeling very happy and relieved. I have big plans for CEREC, Stéphane Kassel concludes, and my initial investment has already paid off. Dr. Stéphane Kassel qualified in 1995 and started his own dental practice in He began using CEREC in 2010, has two treatment rooms plus a further one for surgical procedures (implantology). An extended interview can be found on:

19 CEREC indications and materials: So convincing and versatile. CEREC chairside opens up completely new possibilities: inlays, onlays, veneers, partial or full anatomical crowns and temporary bridges created and placed during a single treatment session! This results in optimum indication flexibility, particularly in difficult situations. Regardless of what challenges await you, CEREC is always the win-win option, delivering minimally invasive treatment, customized aesthetics and a sound return on investment. This is true both now and in the future. Then the CEREC system is continuously developing and adding new features. For example you can now fabricate surgical guides with CEREC or with the Premium Package mill all lab indications. n CEREC materials geared to the highest demands Renowned manufacturers produce top-quality materials for the CEREC system: enamel-like feldspar and glass ceramics, cementable lithium disilicate and high-performance polymers cover the entire spectrum of indications. These materials are tooth-conserving, biocompatible, clinically proven and longlasting. Further information about the CEREC CAD/CAM materials can be found on on: n CEREC aesthetics meet the highest demands A simple polishing suffices to make the polychromatic ceramic restorations mimic the shading and translucency of a natural tooth. In addition, each restoration can be individually stained and glazed in just a few minutes. CEREC delivers aesthetic results to meet every demand and every patient. Create your own in-house practice lab n CEREC MC XL option equipped with the Premium Package for all CEREC Chairside and lab indications. n All lab indications are covered by the inlab software 4.0. Mill up to 12 unit bridges, individual abutments, telescopes, bars and attachments as well as models on your CEREC MC XL with the Premium Package. n Sinter full anatomical zirconium bridges in less than two hours with incoris TZI blocks and in the infire HTC speed furnace. CEREC indications: inlay, onlay, crown, veneer, full anatomical temporary bridge. CEREC: aesthetic and biocompatible.

20 CEREC Connect It s essential to know what you are doing. Particularly, when working on a 5 unit bridge. In his role as a dentist and in his private life as well, Gregor Findeis pays close attention to the details. So it is not surprising that he closely scrutinized the extended possibilities offered by CEREC Connect. His conclusion: For me CEREC Connect is the ideal complement to CEREC chairside for example when creating 5 unit bridges. I acquire the digital impressions for my dental technician with the CEREC AC. The precise result is fantastic. Dr. Gregor Findeis has a rural practice and began using CEREC in He registered with CEREC Connect at the beginning of His preferred dental lab is located a distant. 250 kilometers away. An extended interview can be found on:

21 Sirona Connect. The perfect counterpart to CEREC. There are no limits to CEREC s capabilities even when you cannot do it by yourself. CEREC AC users already know and appreciate the advantages of digital impressions. So why not harness the proven precision of CEREC in order to streamline the working relationship with your external dental lab? For example send orders for complex multiple-unit bridges via Internet on the Sirona Connect web portal directly to your preferred dental lab. Enjoy the best of both worlds with Sirona Connect and CEREC. The Sirona Connect process an example with a bridge 1. Digital impressions acquired with the CEREC AC and CEREC Connect software 2. Definition of the preparation margins and pontics (optional) 3. Transmit the model data and the digital order form to the dental lab via the Sirona Connect portal. This takes just a few minutes. Direct communication between the dentist and dental technician about the details of the digital 3D model avoids potential errors. 4. CEREC chairside production of a temporary bridge 5. Production of the final bridge in the external dental lab 6. Delivery to your dental practice The benefits of Sirona Connect for CEREC users n Ideal for all framework-supported single-tooth restorations and bridges e.g. made from zirconium oxide, precious and non-precious metals n Ideal for aesthetically layered anterior restorations from a dental lab n Ideal for high-strength cementable lithium disilicate posterior crowns

22 Integrated implantology CEREC has changed my way of thinking more than once. Now again with implant therapy. In Carlo Raimondo s opinion dentistry should never stand still. It all began with CEREC 3D. That was love at first sight. As soon as this system was up and running, he banished impression materials from his practice. When GALILEOS 3D X-ray was launched, his response was: That s something I must have! Since then he has not placed any implant without having first captured CBCT images. He could hardly wait for CEREC meets GALILEOS. It was the best thing that Sirona could have done. This has closed the circle for reliable implant planning. Dr. Carlo Raimondo started using CEREC in 2003 and acquired the GALILEOS 3D X-ray system in He works closely with his dental technician, Andrea Sartor, and places approx. 300 implants per year. An extended interview can be found on:

23 Integrated implantology with CEREC. Combine CEREC digital impressions and computer-aided design with the diagnostic security of Sirona s 3D X-ray systems for genuine integrated implantology. It is now possible to perform surgical and prosthetic planning simultaneously and then implement this plan precisely using a surgical guide. This is ideal for all who want to place more implants in future or those who want to provide implant therapy for the first time. You save time and money with fewer treatment sessions and achieve significant efficiency gains with a streamlined workflow. And last but not least, you can show your patients what the final result will look like. CEREC 3D model showing restoration. Marking the position to integrate CEREC data into GALILEOS software. Determining the optimum implant position. From the implant to the final prosthetic restoration with CEREC The CEREC and inlab systems cater for all stages of the implant process. From polymer temporaries during the healing phase; customized zirconium oxide abutments or the final prosthetic crown. The choice is yours. And in all cases the entire added value remains in-house.

24 CEREC today CEREC is best experienced live. What aspect of CEREC is most interesting to non-users? The accuracy of the fit. I recommend they experience a live CEREC live demonstration. As a rule this resolves any remaining clinical concerns. How important are scientific studies for you? Very important. I always want to do my best, but I also want to do what is verified as the best. When did you decide in favor of CEREC? I became interested in CEREC during my postgraduate residency. The actual decision simply followed on from that though it was something I had really set my heart on. What has been the most significant development since you started using CEREC? The gratitude shown by my patients, I would say. For many of my patients CEREC treatment is something special. Some even embrace me spontaneously afterwards. And that doesn t happen very often to a dentist! Dr. Michael Maier began using CEREC in 1998 and opened his own dental practice in He regularly invites colleagues to attend live CEREC treatment sessions at his practice. An extended interview can be found on:

25 The CEREC system: Learning by doing. Reading or hearing about CEREC is helpful and informative, of course. But CEREC simply has to be experienced live if you want to grasp its full fascination. See for yourself and attend one of the many CEREC live events staged in dental practices, or else visit your local CEREC dealer for a demonstration. Experience live, what CEREC can do today. Visit one of our CEREC live events and discover the potential of CEREC: n Live CEREC treatment in a user s dental practice n Introduction to the CEREC system and the new software n Advice on practice integration n Patient communication Further information about upcoming events is available from your CEREC dealer. Clinically secure CEREC is one of the most intensively researched dental procedures as evidenced in more than 250 clinical studies worldwide. There are countless other scientific publications dealing with the system and methodology and their number continues to grow. Here are some extracts from the key studies: n An eighteen-year study of 1,011 inlays/onlays concluded: Even large CEREC restorations display outstanding longevity. In many cases, defect-oriented restorations and careful adhesive bonding provide the basis for dispensing with full crowns. Source: Reiss, B., Eighteen-Year Clinical Study in a Dental Practice (2006) n A comparative study of the longevity of CEREC inlays and gold restorations concluded: In terms of longevity, CEREC inlays are on a par with gold restorations. Laboratory-fabricated ceramic restorations examined in this study were inferior in this respect. Source: Arnetzl, G., Different Ceramic Technologies in a Clinical Long-term Comparison (2006) n A comparative study of restoration quality established that Chairside-produced CEREC inlays have less risk of developing enamel cracks in the treated tooth as there is no temporary.

26 CAD / CAM SYSTEMS INSTRUMENTS HYGIENE SYSTEMS TREATMENT CENTERS IMAGING SYSTEMS What would your practice be like without CEREC? This would be hard for my patients to imagine. And for me, too. CEREC is different from all the other items of equipment in a dental practice. Dr. Günter Fritzsche, Germany Working without CEREC is a lot less fun. Above all, I would miss the opportunity to decide what s best for each patient. Dr. Elsa Bettoni, Switzerland It would be a catastrophe as I have become so dependent on it. Sometimes I ask myself, why I didn t invest in CEREC much earlier? Dr. Gordon Boyle, United Kingdom Subject to technical changes and errors in the text, Order No. A91100-M43-B , Printed in Germany, Dispo-No , JP WS V6 Not having a CEREC would be like not having a computer. I cannot really imagine it. It is a part of me and my practice.
