    Combining multiple impressions

    At least for exocad I think I would do the following. Pick best overall impression and scan. Pour and trim all needed dies to Dr's preference and scan + merge into the scan of the best impression. (I think the merging would be pretty ok as long as the defects are not big) Print a model if Dr...

    Medit/exocad Pains

    @RileyS How are you setting up the order on exocad and how do you make your models? I've never had an issue like you describe. This is how my screen looks before I start scanning an implant case. This is an implant crown for #9 so you can see the scanning steps are as following: Maxilla 1)...

    Medit/exocad Pains

    Yep totally, they advertise the fastest they are able to scan but they don't mention what settings are needed. I don't know if they are less accurate with that setting but I would guess it may not make a difference for regular c&b. You may just end up doing more additional scans in some cases.

    Medit/exocad Pains

    Hey Riley, I use a T500 with exocad everyday. In regards to the advertised speeds, you can get those scanning speeds by changing a few settings. These settings can only be changed while you are scanning or when you have the window "Scan strategy setting" open. These options do not appear right...

    Who sells multi unit abutments with screw channel angle correction and several color heights?

    So the implants need screw channel angle correction after the MUA's? Why not use angled MUA's?

    Looking for ideas for embedding a tracking device in a denture

    The only thing I can think of is maybe opening up a Tile and try to integrate in the denture? They are still quite big though. They use bluetooth and you can make them "ring" through the app. You do need to be at least on the vicinity of the TIle. However, Tile has a feature that even if you...

    Vacuum forming a dual laminate

    Yeah you need an erkoform from erkodent or similar. You just insert the disc, select preloaded program, and the thing even lowers the disc for you. They pay for themselves pretty easily.

    DOF Sharp2 plus buyback program.

    Where are you located? Wouldn't lemon laws apply to this? I wouldn't take any less than purchase price if it is as you described.

    Merging 2 Meshes

    Hi everyone A doctor sent me 2 impressions for 1 crown. For the prep, Dr wants me to use the buccal of #1 and the lingual of #2. I've had Dr's ask me before if I can do this and I usually tell them I can't or that is not recommended at all. Before I ask the Dr for a new good impression... Is...

    Thicker material

    I believe Erkodent has 4 and 5mm discs in all hard material.

    (Help!) Multi-Unit bridge issues.

    Could it be a path of insertion problem during design? Maybe the path of insertion is not being selected as a bridge but as single units.

    Excessive intersections, iTero/eXo

    I had something similar happen a few weeks ago with a case from a scan not from itero. I think it had something to do with the orientation of the scan data. When this happened to me, if I continued with the design of the crown, when adjusting the occlussion it would cut off the tooth really...

    How work with Meshmixer

    Uh so exocad needs to get on it to support the files and add the Import from Carestream button. The file can be opened with CS Mesh Viewer and then exported to stl or ply and it asks which coordinates to export with it so maybe thats why the data is there Dontknow

    Eh not an expert in this but in the lab I used to work I ordered supplies. It took me a while to find a wax the techs liked. Most liked either Yates wax and also Nobilium All Season wax. The second one being the cheaper one.
