[QUOTE="rhicks3302, post: 104669, member: 3061"] I agree. There are those young prima donnas out there. They don't get far with me either. But I've picked up a few of those young dentists that just wanted some help and were treated like they were stupid by some lab. They realize that removable techs, like us, with over thirty years of removable experience, might have some information they could use. I speak to study clubs full of young dentists that want to learn. I show them Ivoclar's Smile design kit. It has calipers, a Fox plane, a rim former, papillameter and a DVD that shows them how to use the stuff. I ask for photos, just a full face/eyes open photo with the baseplate and occlusion rim in place. Then, I can select denture teeth, and SEE if they've missed the midline or screwed up the plane of occlusion. They may have trouble taking an impression but they all have smart phones and know how to email a photo. I've seen the jerks too. They can be someone else's problem. I just think that if you teach them, you get two things in return. You get what you to need to do your job correctly, and a loyal customer. In my world, I don't need a lot of those to keep me busy. my $.02 [/QUOTE]
