[QUOTE="RaySanford, post: 28579, member: 1077"] Thanks for the responses. Let me see if I can answer your questions. My primary goal here was to replace regular impressions with digital ones. Most cases I do for this Dentist are gold so I was planning on infiniDent making the model and wax patterns. I was also hoping that once the Dentist saw how nice Cerec Connect worked I would receive a few other cases. Also by having Cerec in my lab I could offer e.max cad to other customers without Cerec. I have now done that with okay results. Margins were so so and crowns need a little adjustment. I figure my design skills aren't quite there yet. [B]Paulg100[/B] I just bought a used Patterson computer with 3.80 software, already upgraded to 3.84, and a inEos scanner, red. So not a big amount of cash to buy. Also just checked infinDent's web site; Up to 4 unit bridges posterior and anterior no more than 40mm. [B]***[/B] I actually think he is using the WIFI from someone next door, with permission.

Couldn't a Dentist do the same when sending me digital impressions? Maybe it's too much of a pain for them to do that and Cerec Connect is just easier. Interesting road down the learning curve of this digital dental experience. Have a great weekend, Ray [/QUOTE]
