What's the best material? Milled or printed? Hope y'all are having a nice day!

Anyone know a place that casts Non-Precious? Or! Does anyone know a way to make a Noble Maryland bridge?

That seems like a great service to offer, but I can't imagine what a feasible price would be... Being out of the lab, driving, bringing all the stuff I would need... :eek:

We have a doc that works at a local university and wants to do a paper on scanner accuracy... He mentioned: "We have 5 casts that we can scan (ranging from full teeth, missing some teeth and completely without teeth). We could do 10 scans per model per scanner, so that we can check...

Do you guys know anyone that does this kind of consulting? What are some main points to think about? I was wondering about this- Would it be good to have designers sitting visibly in front of grinders/builders/finishers? That way people can have a better hand in what the design looks like...

Is anyone able to print their own models from Sirona/Cerec scans?? Last time I checked the only option was to get them printed through them (Infinident).

So much fun!

What's the recommendation on an upper lateral zi maryland bridge? GOOD idear... or BAD idear?? I hear Panavia can bond zirconia, but I also hear that chupacrabra exists. In advance I will say thanks, and you guys are smart and awesome :D

Hey, have you guys made a prosthesis to bond/cement to an existing porcelain tooth? If so what material and what cement/bond would you use?

HELLO, once again I have a question for the dental lab hive mind that is DLN: Where do I get customized model base formers?? You know, the full arch ones and the quadrant ones you pour stone into... Thank you in advance for your wisdoms.

Hi guys! What are your thoughts about these fixed full zirconia denture questions? What do you tell a dentist when they ask about them? 1- Weight? Aren't they heavy? Will that cause a problem later? 2- Will the zirconia posteriors constantly chewing/biting/clacking hurt the opposing teeth...

I've read a bunch of reports on zirconia wear on opposing dentition- I'm not scared. They all seem to show less wear than porcelain. BUT... do you guys try and do better than the next guy by polishing occlusal surfaces and stuff? I've tried finishing them 3 different ways- but I currently...

Has anyone else found a way to dye thick pieces of super-translucent zi? With bridge pontics and screw retained units the shade never fires out right.

Anyone have much experience sending out full-gold .stl's to get sintered/cast/milled? What's the best place? We're having porosity issues with our current place. And I know, yeah yeah yeah... get the doc to switch to Zirconia. That's at the top of my list also. We still have a couple...

We're trying to figure out if we should upgrade a Sirona scanner or get another 3Shape/Exocad/Preciso system. So... what do you guys think about Sirona? We will be using it with a VHF mill. Being able to accept scans from an in-office Cerecs seems like a perk, eh? Bottom line: Buy a new...

I don't know about you guys but I'm feeling a pretty hard push towards pre-shaded pucks. Personally I've kinda grown attached to the idea of dyeing my own zi, and also feel like *anything* custom made/shaded/etc is better... but more difficult to make. But, you could always add dye to...

Anyone else had an issue with getting a greenish hue after dyeing the supertranslucent zi?

How are you guys pricing your full-zirconia prettau/all-on-4s. Right now we do them for $3500.

We've had multiple cases like this recently. What do you guys do if PFM isn't an option?
