    Facepalm cases

    Feel like they're so desperate now they'll chuck anything at the lab. I've seen some serious WTF since we reopened in June. Epidemic of cluelessness.

    Facepalm cases

    The older I get the clearer I see and the less I understand. Human nature is bewildering. I can only assume that for some living with the unlivable is not as scary as change. My unified theory of why s#$t sucks.

    Facepalm cases

    Every time I think of someone sticking that back in their mouth and moving on I get this feeling like I'm falling through a bottomless pit. There are things beyond my comprehension. They only came in 'cause the tooth was gone. Sorry. I know that's off topic.

    Plus the issue with the schools is many times the offender is some entrenched tech/assistant/functionary of the University and they seem armour plated.

    I tell him every time. I know he's had the conversations. A lot of times you're just pissing upstream. The ones who'd heed you are already doing their job. Luckily the heedless are very few.

    Facepalm cases

    One of my top pet peeves. Universal precautions mean everybody's doing their part. When I was an owner, I'd talk to Dr personally and remind them that sending anything with bio burden improperly packaged is illegal, and since their malpractice insurance would skyrocket into orbit if something...

    Site crashed today. 155,000 out of work in OR in a week. Might have to hunt squirrels in the parking lot next month... Medical bills from my big hurrahs last year wiped out my buffer and then some. We could wind up a generation going back to stuffing cash in the mattress like great depression...

    Got laid off this afternoon. Rent and food are gonna get interesting fast. Could probably get work at grocery, but I'm high risk as all get out. I catch this I'm toast. Tomorrow I'll wake up and try to figure out what to do, right now I can't think about it without getting overwhelmed.

    Facepalm cases

    It's the last two statements that really knee ya in the ol' cahones. It's like instead of being educated in the tasks of dentistry, they got educated in sales and delegating tasks. Even though it limits the **** out of my options, sometimes I'm glad I'm not an owner anymore. I've lost all...

    FFS, how does this one manage to find a way out of the bathroom? Why do these idiots always leap into **** they're clueless about?

    Best material for verification jig made chairside

    Those are what we use for titanium frames. The stone ones came about because of the brittleness of zirconia. My understanding is that the tolerance to avoid fracture is tighter than alloy or PEEK type. So you test the model with a jig of something even more fracture prone before you commit to...

    Yes. So, are you employing a traditional jig at any earlier stage? Just curious about your particular protocol

    AO4= all on four.. I am aware that "zero" in this scenario is " lowest" expansion for the purpose. You are correct. Zero Is a poor term for negligible, sorry.
