IO Scans

[sirmorty]

Does anyone have any tip for marking margins?

This is what I'm dealing with. It just washed out pretty much everywhere. The molar is just a guessing game.

Can you toggle to colour? The dr should leave the cord in for contrast.

 

[sirmorty]

It's a non colour scan.

 

[sirmorty]

Hmm... this is what I came up with.
It's just guessing at this point.

Sorry to hear that . I'd ask for a pvs.

Here's a hot tip.

Tell the dolt to use impression cord. This will help eliminate the bridging between the tissue and tooth structure.

Also charge full price for any remake regarding margin fit.

Winner for the use of "Dolt"

Send the “dolt” a screen shot or let him (or her) look at it on team viewer. If doc says it’s a go, then you’re in the clear. Next case please.

Double like. One of the beautiful things about digital.

Interesting. That’s no better than a bad analog impression. I guess bad is bad.

A ****ty Digital Doctor is born from a ****ty analog doctor, pvs would be worse. LOL

Can you send a digital scan to be marked by a doc like you can a stone die?

It works in reverse.
The dr can mark his own margins before sending the file.
Crazy huh?

Maybe, maybe not.
I was able to change my " pick the best one" Drs into good IOS Drs.

With 3Shape, and probably with Exocad? you can flip the prep image over, upside down, to try to help in seeing a margin line, at least a little different view. It's helped me a couple of times. It's not going to make up for a bad I/O scan, but it may help a bit.

This is why I like the new I/O Medit i500...it's color all the time. Also, the Docs are taught to mark their own margins before sending to the lab (a nice little tool if you have Docs with sub-par preps),then the errors are on them.

It really could be used as a tool for the clinician to improve techniques.
