Hi everyone. Just looking for an explanation for why the margin outlines are different in these 2 examples please. Both outlines are at 0.15 but you can see one outer margin line is further out than the other example. The line that is further out generally mills a better margin than the other...

Thanks for replies in previous post. Very helpful and much appreciated. I had another funny one happen on Friday and would love to hear what you all think. I milled a crown to fit a Straumann NC, 5.5 h, GH 1.0, and the crown milled much longer than the design (see pics) DME's are latest from...

Hi all.... Haven't posted for quite some time. Having a problem with Occasional chipping on margins. Sometimes they are perfect and other times chipping. I milled 2 crowns back to back yesterday. One chipped and the other was fine. Both are Straumann wn. Mill is a DX52 with newish burs...

HI all Had a strange thing happen today whilst using 3shape. Scanning crowns was normal, but when I went to scan an implant, it wouldn't connect to scanit dental. No implant type would scan, yet every other order type would. I even tried downloading new DME's, but made no difference. Using 2021...

Looking at giving the z HT+ a try in our lab. Just wondering how it compares to the ST for single monolithic crowns in all areas? Is a cutback required for Anterior crowns using the ZHT+ ? Thanks

Hi All, Just thought I would share my experience with the above in case it pops up in your lab. Nvidia updated my driver recently, but changed my studio driver to game driver. This caused my scans to lose definition and for the margins to become impossible to plot accurately because of the...

Hi all, A client of ours has had a request from a patient for diamante jewellery to be added to 4 lower crowns. He would like them attached to lower canines and premolar and I assume we will make the crowns in Zi. I have no clue how to go about this and have never seen it on crowns, only on...

Hi all, I haven't been on for a while and hope everyone is doing ok during these crap times. I think my spindle motor has finally seized after 2700hrs of work and have heard that the replacement motors may not be available anymore because of it's age. I am just seeking any info on this, and if...

Hi All Just wondering why the end abutment is not blacked out like the others? Thanks

Hi all. Haven't milled any composite material since lava ultimate back in the day. Just wondering what labs are preferring these days? I have a dry mill. Thanks...jeff

Just attempted my first MIYO crown today on a central and after 3 goes, I achieved a reasonably good result. Incisal application being the hardest for me. Does anyone have any tricks or tips they might share from their experience?. I also lightened a pfm just to see how it would go....seem to...

Hi all, It appears as if the internal vaccuum hose has got shorter to the point that it no longer reaches the outlet at the rear of the main clamp area. I have tried to see if something is causing it to jam inside, but can't see a reason for it to jam. Would this just be a natural perishing of...

Hi all, Is there any way to get the design so it's spot on, or is it impossible, and adjustment is always needed. Thanks all

Hi all. Just looking to see what specs are being used ATM. We are using i7- 4790 with 16 GB. GeForce GTX 1060. Running 3shape 2017 and millbox. Just seems to hang a little now during scanning and also when designing.... Cheers... Jeff

Hi all. Just looking for any feedback on this mill. Am considering a dedicated wet mill for my small lab. Thanks....

Hi all. Needing a new do it all replacement and am looking for advice on brands. We are considering the NSK Ultimate, K5 and WH 300 or 600. The NSK seems great value with great torque for price. But of course we are also looking for reliability and cost of repairs ect. Any feedback would be...

Hi All, Having a few hassles with molds splitting during the burn out process. Sometimes the split goes right through and ruins the press. I am using Pro art Cad Wax ATM, but have used other milling waxes with the same result. It doesn't seem to happen with Renfert wax "hand wax". If I start...

Hi all Considering changing my fluorescent tubes to a LED T8... would appreciate any feedback please. Info on what wattage worked best and if LED is just as good for general lab lighting as fluo. Power costs are very expensive where I live, so LED will be very beneficial to the bottom line...

Hi all, Was wondering if the dentine liquids could be colored with food dye as opposed to using the visulizr color drops? cheers

HI all, Would it be considered a worthwhile upgrade to new D500 from the old 700. I have checked out the specs from 3shape and I believe it would be. Just concerned that the 7 series are the work horses and the 500 is entry level. Would I be giving up anything to change to the 500. Thanks all
