I want to hear from dentists that visit this site.
"B, Straumann gets to design the abutments for the lab to finish the restorations"
so why dont they provide the finish restoration as well. Software promotes the design of the crown then the abutment to fit the crown, which is the best way.
So why dont they supply the crown? mill out of emax cad or lava ultimate? maybe not even stained, just mill and ship with the abutment.
i hate to say it and i dont like it, but personally i think making a stand against this is a waste of time. Its like trying to hold back the tide.
Ill bet my bottom dollar that most if not all of the major implant companies will be doing the same sooner or later. Including the ones you guys will be trying to direct your clients too . Especially as intra oral scanning gains penetration and matures.
Your already doing the right thing by setting up to compete with them Bob.
Most of us cant afford the amount of investment needed to do that.
Ive chosen the alternative route of CDT qualification to create a viable revenue stream, although even this is going to cost me heaps.
Aside from the gifted/dedicated few at the top of their game, anyone that thinks they are going to just carry on doing what they've been doing for the past 20-30 years... well good luck
You probably dont want to admit it either, but come on.. reality check time.
Welcome to the cad/cam revolution.
Best of luck with CDT Paul . I see a big problem,,,,, to many techs are doing or are going to do it !! What do you think ?
