Thanks Tyler! As a Cad/Cam Manager, how did this Course help in your everyday work?

It has helped me out a lot. When we make our bites to scan in we will go through the functions while the bite is still soft and that helps us out to see where our excursions are. I have made a full size occlusal compass I can hang on my computer screen.

To me it is easier on the computer, I can raise my centric stops as needed and look at it in the right angle and have all the functions cleared with no problem. I really have to rely on the occlusal compass a lot because the virtual articulators in the computer don't work it so good. Or as you would say don't trust any articulators!

I say it's easier on a computer because I don't know if you remember but I am not a waxer lol I struggled, but it was good experience.

Main thing you really stress that we put into effect is to equilabrate, equilabrate, equilabrate. Speaking of equilabrating don't you do a webinar of your equilabration technique? I would like to refresh my pea size brain.

You put on a heck of a course Russ and being so young in the industry I am glad I get to do the things I do by going to classes and meetings all over the country.

Looks like another great class Russ. I'm going to try and get up there for your anterior class one of these days.

By the way Russ do you have a video on how to properly equilabrate models. I know you really stressed this. We equilabrate, but I need a refresher on how it is properly done.

I watched Russ on a Jensen webinar series earlier this year. He went through his equilibration steps and it makes a tremendous difference in the final crown.

Hi Tyler,

I will check with Jensen Dental and see if they will bring me back for another webinar Study Club. Better if you call and request! They had me do 2 last year. The Study Club runs with 6 one hour sessions.
Best regards,
Russ

I'm with you Tyler, wish I could have been there. My refresher is long overdue. Are there any more webinars planned?

I just got off the phone with Jensen and they said they would be more then happy to do something again. They said they are going to do what they need to get it together so lets see what happens.
