    Need Help?

    Hey Tyler, Like some others have suggested I would also do screw retained. How many MM's from mesial of #3 to distal #6? I would design with metal occ on cantilever. I would beef the cantilever up as much as possible to avoid metal flex and design mesial of #3 1/3 of occlusion metal also just...

    Fits...Printed or Laser Sintered

    My sintered copings margins were dead spot on. I wouldn't myself want the margins thinner than what I received.

    Fits...Printed or Laser Sintered

    I was very pleased with both results as they give you 4 samples. As far as I know the laser is for the N.P. only. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Spend time in making sure all undercuts are not present and the laser copings are sweet. What I haven't found out yet is how are the laser copings...

    Am I the only one?

    I literally just received my 13 abutment from Atlantis where I need to spend easily 30 minutes on fitting it down on the soft tissue model. By the time I'm done I've gone from a shoulder margin to nearly a feather edge. How can I keep getting this time after time after time. They design it they...

    How often do you get rocking bridges?

    Sometimes it isn't always in the spruing of the bridge that causes the rock, in my cases it is hardly ever the cause. If I get rocks it was usually done in the pulling of the bridge from the model. Check to see, maybe he is spruing textbook maybe it is the retrieval of the bridge off the model.

    Business closed due to major health issue

    If you could sell it as a package deal I think that would be ideal. I would keep quiet on why you are selling. There are always the vultures flying around that will take advantage of the situation. Could be kind of pricy in today's economy for someone to pay a package price. Maybe sell accounts...

    Outsourcing hitting hard for small Aussie dental labs

    It's sad but this seems to be the norm. Labs selling restorations for as low as they can go. What I find kind of funny now is the dentist are starting to experience this also. When a doctor is selling his crowns for $1200 and then finding out his competition on the next corner is charging his...

    FCZ'S D Shades

    I don't have a lot of say about which zirconia or dips. Sending to CMC right now but open for suggestions.

    FCZ'S D Shades

    What combinations of zirconia, stains, shades are you using to get a D shade. A's and B's are very nice, C's take a little more work but D shades just don't have it. What techniques and materials are you using?

    PFM metal containing silver.

    For the obvious reasons I have stayed away from PFM metal containing any silver. I am now thinking about trying some. What can you tell me about it. What brands of porcelain. Do I need to designate a porcelain oven only for this metal. How often do I need to do oven purging. Special build...

    Thanks Tom, PDC. But do guy's use the ADS gel or something else?

    N.P. etching

    I received a maryland bridge back for a re etch over the weekend. This had been in the mouth for 7 months. Wings had no cement or enamel attached to the wings at all. I usually give these a sandblast and acid etch of about 45 min with the ADS metal etching gel. I cleaned wings and gave them a...

    Lab Mentor

    Word of mouth usually. The small lab hanging by a thread probably doesn't have the money to advertise. If you are currently an employee of another lab just be careful what you say. No easy answer really, it may just be by stoke of luck you hear about the right situation. But I can't imagine...

    Lab Mentor

    I have mentioned before that one of the best ways is go where the doctors are. You would think in your area there would be several places where doctors have study groups. I have always felt welcomed to these groups. The good thing about it is usually there are about 20 doctors in one setting...
