Dental Lab Products posted on FB that February is Black History Month and they will be highlighting contributions by the black community in a push for diversity across the industry. Do you think the “industry “ lacks diversity? Really? Every lab I ever worked in resembled the UN. The dentists I have met came from every corner of the earth. The only time “ colour “ was an issue was matching a central or picking the right acrylic. Where exactly is there a lack of diversity in dentistry?

Hi guys! how can I design a Custom Abutment with a Multi-Unit head in Exocad? I would like to design an abutment that thas this kind of geometry: -it has to be screw-retained with a direct implant connection -has a stock multi-unit head instead of an individual crown bottom interface -has multi-unit head insertion direction parallel with secondary insertion view -has individual abutment bottom that has a custom margin line -the design process should have a final restoration design implemented in the same dental case, e.g. dental bridge with direct multi-unit connection to the custom multi-unit abutment, or overdenture design on the bar with pillars that have a direct implant connection Did anyone design something similar before...

I was offered a job opportunity working remotely. Has anyone here ever worked or is designing remotely from home? Is this worth my time or is it just a waste? It's not the first time I've been approached to work remotely but I was worried about paying for the computer/time and effort spent on creating a setup at home. Did the company provide for your computer/dongle? What was your wages for your work was it hourly or piece work. What did you ask for or what did they offer? Do you have deadlines? What it's like with communication about a case? I know it's a lot of questions. My interview is in a couple hours so I'll add to the post with details of how it went. Thanks guys!
