HDiQ Dental has begun production of Dr. Tom Trinkner and Master ceramist Matt Roberts program.  Earlier this month we shot the preparation for a full mouth restoration.  In the next week we will travel to Matt Roberts lab as he demonstrates 3M's Lava Restrorations.  We will return to Dr. Trinkner's office in April to tape the seating of the final restorations and discuss the challenges they both faced.  The program focuses on minimal prep and doctor/lab communication.  This program will be featured at the AACD annual meeting where both Dr. Trinkner and Matt Roberts will present this case.

 UPDATE: (April 9, 2007)

We just got back from shooting two days in the lab with Matt Roberts.  If you have never seen the time and attention it takes to create a single tooth, much less an entire mouth, you will be impressed.  While shooting 8 hours of footage of anterior teeth being made is about as interesting as re-runs of "Who's The Boss," the outcome is amazing.  Rest assured in the finished program we will cut down the layering and baking time to the mose salient points. 

 Next week we return to Dr. Trinkners for the seating of the case.  Certain elements of this case have created some real challenges for both the lab anbd the dentist and we will highlight them all and see how they can handle them.
