4.0: Keeping An Open Mind


Now that 4.0 is being released and it is different than what we are used to, there are many questions from the members of the CEREC community.

I recently had the chance to work with a few Study Clubs, and have been pleased with the way people are preparing for the future. They are engaged and asking the right questions. You can see that there is some hesitation as they push themselves to go into new territory outsie of their comfort zones. That's a natural reaction.

The 4.0 tools are different - even if they have the same name, they function differently. It is important to keep your mind open. If you are set in your ways it will be frustrating.

If you keep your mind open you will experience faster design times and easier execution of larger multiple-unit cases.

The future is very bright for CEREC dentistry. Invest the time to max out its potential.


The designs have become very quick and easy once you get the hang of it!
Does anybody else struggle with the fact that you cannot open a new case if you are buzy milling...

you can open up a case when you are milling Ade. you have to go up to the top to window mode and click on it. this will allow you to minimize the screen and see the desktop. at this point you can just click on the 4.0 software and start a new case


Wow Richard, this is a GREAT tip, I will try thank you! My AC not operational at the moment and had to drag in my old Cerec aquisition unit for back-up....MAN do I miss my SW4 now so much...Unbelievable how quickly we get used to progression!
