    Shade conversion W?

    That's great, I've just been checking our records and we have done a case for him a couple of years ago done in OM1...he sent us the shade tab for that job but has since lost it!! Many thanks for the info.

    Shade conversion W?

    I have a case in that I am being asked for a shad "W" (lower 6 unit Zr bridge) . I have checked out Travis's great shade conversion thread from way back in 2008 but it doesn't have it on there. Does anyone know what would be the Vita equivalent or which shade guide the W belongs to. Thanks guys.

    Thicker material

    As said above, Erkodent make 4 and 5 mm hard foils. We make hundreds of these. Don't overcomplicate things by milling or printing. It takes literally minutes to make one of these when you are up to speed and costs peanuts. Get a decent pressure former (not vacuum for hard splints, I know they...

    Blender for Dental

    Yes I was wondering if I could do it with CAD points. May be the way to go until the numbers build up. I am still going to have a play with the BFD software....just looks kind of fun to mess around with.

    Blender for Dental

    Thanks for your replies guys. Contraluz, I didn't realise you could build models from trios IOS. How does this work? I receive the IOS (Trios) in my inbox and then where do I go? Am I able to use model builder even though I haven't paid for the module? I was also thinking the same as you guys...

    Blender for Dental

    Is / has anyone tried Blender for Dental for model / die design? I'm using 3shape (sorry!!) and want to design working models from Intra oral scans. I don't currently get any IOS at the moment so can't justify the cost of getting the model builder module but just want to be ready if and when I...

    3shape calibration failed

    We had the same problem last year. I got in touch with our sellers support and they talked me through some steps to calibrate (not the usual calibration steps). The problem was corrected fairly quickly.

    Emax veneer bonded to Zirconia bridge

    Thanks for the recent replies guys, this was a while ago and I explained to the dentist the problems faced. He agreed it would be easier to remove the bridge and re make, which I did. Happy dentist, patient and tech....all good. Many thanks.

    This may be my last thread.

    We are using Rhino Rock from DB Orthodontics' and also Nano Rock from WHW (UK company).

    This may be my last thread.

    Not sure if Im way off track here...there are 4 pages of replies to this and to be honest I quickly skimmed through them. You can get a pourable resin to pour directly into your impression (self curing, no light needed). We use this when we have hard bite splints to make to avoid breaking teeth...

    Size & shape of monolithic zirconia posterior crown - is this how it should be?

    Back to my earlier question, where do you fit into the equation? Dentist, Tech or patient? or are you asking for a friend?;)

    Size & shape of monolithic zirconia posterior crown - is this how it should be?

    That can't possibly have run up a lab bill of $99 surely. Must have been less than 20.

    Size & shape of monolithic zirconia posterior crown - is this how it should be?

    It would be easier to take it off and re-make it properly.

    Size & shape of monolithic zirconia posterior crown - is this how it should be?

    Are you the dentist or technician? Either way, at this point in the treatment, surely you should know what a crown should look like. If you are the patient who had had this crown fitted then go back to your dentist and let them know that you are not happy. This is not a well designed crow.

    Nightguard help...

    First off get a good pressure forming machine not some cheep s**t bit of kit. Second, use good quality foils.....not some cheep s**t stuff. Make good models. If the imps are garbage, call the dentist and request another. These really are quick and simple to make......with good quality kit.

    Holes in Pontic

    As JMN says above...…..we use sprues with reservoirs on our big pontics (when we cast and not SLM) so when the metal cools it will pull from there and not the substructure.

    Outsourcing designs

    Thanks for the replies guys. I will keep crown design in house. I was mainly looking to get someone else to design my models so I didn't need to get the model builder module. I would then get my buddy to print the model for me.

    Outsourcing designs

    I was looking at Fullcontours website today. Can you give me some idea of their charges for crown design (per unit) and how their design would differ from yours.....better / not as good as. I also like your idea of using them for model builder, like you we don't have the module yet.
