Introducing Myself

[dialusa]

My name is Frank and I have been in the lab business for over 38 years. I have owned several labs in California over the years and currently operate in Idaho. Your forum caught my eye when I saw posts about the Staub Cranial Denture Set Up System a couple weeks ago. I bought the first system when it was introduced into the U.S. a year and a half ago. I believe this is the first real inovation in dentures since I started almost 4 decades ago. I have refocused my lab away from conventional denture fabrication to the Staub technique. Take a look at my website and you can see a few case studies that we have done. mydentist.org

I look forward to taking part in your network.

Welcome to the Dental Lab Forums Frank, care to share why you think the Staub is better than some of the other techniques out there? and by chance did you read the article in the JDT this month on the Staub technique?

Hey Labguy.... would you put up the link to the article? thanks.

Here is the .pdf of the JDT article I was referring to.....interesting stuff.

I haven't read my copy of the JDT yet but in looking at your PDF link it looks like they have printed excerpts of Steve's PowerPoint Presentation. You can find his full presentation on my website - mydentist.org The reason I like this system is it allows me to set up an ideal upper without the need for a bite registration appointment. Every case we have done in our lab has been right on the money on the first try in with the exception of an occasional minor midline shift. We set the lower six anteriors for the first try in and the Doctor or Denturist takes a check bite at that time.

Hi Frank. Thanks for joining us. So 38 years working, any plans on retirement?
