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.

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 1989. He has more
than 20 years of experience as a CEREC Trainer and averages ca. three CEREC cases per
day.

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.

Powder-free scanning
Precise 3D images in natural color
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.
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.
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.
An impressive sight – the on-screen visualization of the model in 3D

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 2010. 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: www.sirona.com/cerec-inspired
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.

High precision, proven thousands of times in clinical practice
Easy to operate
Rapid acquisition of powder-coated surfaces
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.
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.
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.

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 2010.
An extended interview can be found on: www.sirona.com/cerec-inspired
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

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.
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.

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.
Dr. Tomoko Takeda opened her own practice in 1987. She works with two treatment units, employs one dentist and
became a CEREC user in 2005. She treats an average of two CEREC cases per day.

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,

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 2004. She employs one dentist, has her own dental lab and performs up to six restorations per day

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 2005.
He began using CEREC in 2010, has two treatment rooms plus a further one for surgical
procedures (implantology).

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 1999. He registered
with CEREC Connect at the beginning of 2010. His preferred dental lab is located a distant.

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.

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 2007. He works closely with his dental technician, Andrea Sartor, and places
approx. 300 implants per year.

demonstration. As a rule this resolves any remaining clinical concerns.
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?
What has been the most significant development since you started using 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.
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 2005. He regularly invites colleagues to attend live CEREC treatment sessions at his
practice.

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.

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.”
Source: Frankenberger, R., Chairside and labside produced ceramic inlays – Influence
of temporaries and bonding on the enamel integrity and margin quality. (2008)

“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
“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.” Dr. Tomoko Takeda, Japan
