The newest alternative for provisionalization… Jurim CADtemps!

P: (516) 466-1722
What are CADtemps?
  • CADtemps are Jurim Dental Studio’s proprietary lab-processed temporaries made from high-strength PMMA using CAD/CAM technology

  • CADtemps allow for an entirely digital workflow, cutting down lab cost and time
    • Send us a digital impression or conventional impression, and using our specialized software, we can create a virtual wax-up from which we can then mill a set of aesthetic and durable CADtemps for you.
How long does it take to get CADtemps?
Jurim CADtemps can be made in as little as 2 days in-lab turnaround time.

Can I preview my CADtemps before they are fabricated?
With our advanced digital design department, we can email you a 3D model, just like Invisalign®’s Clincheck, to review the proposed CADtemp restorations. This powerful communication tool eliminates the question as to what your lab will be sending you for your patient. You can review, propose changes, approve, and even share the CADtemp design with your patient to increase case acceptance and excitement!

Why are digitally designed temporaries, like Jurim CADtemps, so revolutionary?
CADtemps streamline communication between patient, dentist, and laboratory because the digital file used in their design can be reviewed and approved by all parties before they are fabricated. Additionally, the CADtemps design file is saved so if everyone is pleased with them they can be exactly copied when fabricating the final restorations, ensuring total case success.

Why are CADtemps stronger than office made temps?
CADtemps are made from lab-processed, medical grade PMMA which is much stronger and durable than chairside temporary materials allowing for worry-free, long-term provisionalization. Our materials allow for CADtemps to have a flexural strength similar to Empress porcelain, about 140 MPa (megapascals), which is incredibly tough and resistant to the stresses associated with long term provisionalization.

Do I need a digital impression for CADtemps?
For those who prefer the traditional workflow of impressions and fabrication of a diagnostic wax-up, the CADtemps design process can perfectly copy the approved diagnostic wax-up
  • All you need to send us to fabricate a set of CADtemps is either:
    • i. diagnostic PVS impressions
    • ii. diagnostic models
    • iii. diagnostic waxup
What types of CADtemps can I order?
CADtemps can be made for virtually any type of restorative plan. Whether it’s a highly demanding aesthetic veneer smile makeover or quadrant dentistry involving crowns, CADtemps provide strength and beauty for all situations. CADtemps are also ideal for implant cases, as their digital design file can be used to fabricate BOTH long-term temporaries and prosthetically driven surgical guides.

How do I bond in CADtemps?
CADtemps are designed to be relined intraorally with either a dual-cure provisional material (such as Luxatemp, Protemp, or Tuftemp), acrylic, or flowable composite. You prepare CADtemps for relining by roughening the internal surface with acrylic burs or air-particle abrasion. Once relined, CADtemps can be inserted with conventional temporary cements or adhesive resin cements for stronger long-term results.

Where are CADtemps made?
As a member of the Ethical Dental Laboratory Alliance of America, Jurim Dental Studio certifies that all work is completed onsite in our laboratory located right outside of New York City using nothing but the finest quality, FDA approved materials. This holds true with our CADtemps, all of which are designed and milled in-house in our state-of-the art facility using the finest materials.

How can CADtemps ensure my final case is a homerun?
CADtemps can be fabricated before a patient is prepared using virtual cutback CAD technology, such that your delivered CADtemps can be used as a reduction index to help to determine if you have sufficiently prepared teeth to receive the desired final restorations. Additionally, the CADtemps design file is saved so if you and the patient are pleased with them they can be exactly copied when fabricating the final restorations, ensuring streamlined total case success.

How can CADtemps benefit my practice?
CADtemps increase your productivity by cutting down chair time devoted to fabrication and repair of provisional restorations traditionally made chairside.

NobelGuide… Implant Surgery Minus the Guess Work!

Whether it’s a single missing tooth or an entirely edentulous jaw, NobelGuide is an invaluable implant treatment concept with all important decisions being addressed prior to surgery.  This diagnostic, planning, and placement workflow provides full control of treatment parameters to the dentist to enhance your practice.

The first step in the NobelGuide treatment concept involves a diagnostic tooth set-up representing optimal placement of the final desired restoration. This set-up is evaluated intra-orally so any necessary adjustments can be made, and then the lab will duplicate it into a radiographic guide with radio-opaque markers.

Jurim Dental StudioYour patient will then have CB scan made with the radiographic guide in place, and a second scan of only the scanning appliance will be completed. Both the patient’s scan and that of the radiographic guide are then digitized and overlayed to allow for prosthetically-driven digital surgical planning with a software like NobelClinician. This type of pre-surgical digital planning allows for identification, marking, and avoidance of important anatomic structures and the implants are virtually placed in the position best for the desired future prosthesis.

When it is time for the surgical appointment for implant placement, all the guess work has been eliminated with the steps taken to date with the NobelGuide planning workflow. Based on the digital surgical plan, a surgical guide is made to ensure precise, minimally-invasive implant surgery with the implants predictably placed in their exact desired position.
Another powerful aspect of the NobelGuide workflow is it allows the dental lab to pre-fabricate implant-supported provisionals, ready for you to insert immediately following guided surgery placement of the implants.

Ultimately, with NobelGuide surgical planning services by Jurim Dental you are guaranteed precise, minimally-invasive implant surgery with predictable outcomes, low morbidity, and high accuracy. Call today to speak with Dr. Alan Jurim regarding any questions you may about the NobelGuide treatment process and see how it is the right choice for you and your patients.
