[QUOTE="Affinity, post: 261838, member: 1246"] I wouldnt say that a hermetically sealed margin is the reason for caries under a crown. Most times the Dr doesnt remove it, or the prep isnt clean etc. I understand oral Ph is what promotes bacterial growth. It seems to be a trend however, in my 21 years in dentistry, that materials and techniques have moved [I]towards[/I] accuracy, now it seems that it doesnt matter 'as much', because cement is better. Which was the original thought I had, and actually answered my question: Yes we have regressed in technique, and care towards accuracy in exchange for speed. Maybe its what keeps us around to grind another day. To me, the most sealed 1:1 margin is important because thats how I was trained, but honestly the more time I spend in this field, the more I hate it. Now it comes off the mill and out the door, no need for scope or any handwork. This will be what [I]seals[/I] the fate of techs in our industry. (another pun for RKM) [/QUOTE]
