    Intraoral scanner crown margins

    One of first experiences with iTero were fantastic and still are. We had a case early on with a very picky Dr.. There was a "Saw Tooth" margin and he saw that in the office and came in with the crown the next day all in a huff. Brought the case up on the screen and sure enough the margin was a...

    Let’s talk about Asiga

    We got our Asiga Pro 250 in 2017 and it has been a real work horse for us. However, heard the other day they don't have parts for it any more if that is true will be looking else where. I mean 5 years is not that long!

    Let’s talk about Asiga

    We have a Asiga Pro 250, someone at WM said that they don't make parts for it any more! It's not that old in my opinion new in 2017. If that is the case I would look else where. That said it has been a real work horse for us.

    Wax Printer

    You are on track for sure. Couple of reasons to go this way. 1) The Digital denture format of a white tryin denture is hated by every doc I have talked to about it. Patients want to see the real teeth for goodness sake. 2) Training a new tech to carve wax for a denture is very time consuming...

    What's the cost to open a C/B lab?

    Just a couple of things: 1- Go on line and google "Break Even Point" learn how to work that formula. 2- If you are in a large city there should be a college with a business dept with some sort of help. It is usually free! 3-Think about an SBA loan, by the time you do all their paper work you'll...

    Contacts

    Use Accu-Film 1 from Parkel it's only coated on one side put the un-coated side against the stone contact area and you only get a mark on crown. It's 20 Microns thick, red for metal green for porcelain. The film protects the contact area from wear like you can have with the pencil technique...

    Contacts

    I agree, overbuild a bit. It's what you do next that matters, concerning sanity at least. Our procedure goes something like this. 1) You need a sectioned model so you can remove the distal section or the mesial section at will and a solid model with the margin ditch out with say a #2P burr. 2)...

    Implant Guide Sleeves

    Does anyone have a work around for the Xive sleeves for a implant guide? I have Co Diagnostics on dental wings. The software automatically picks out a sleeve from some company in Germany no idea if it is the correct one or not.

    Where to begin with surgical guides

    Things have changed with CoD tech support now comes from some outfit call "Implant Concierges ", I am getting 4 hours of training free, then tech support is $100.00 per hour there after. Just got to love that. Biggest problem I see right now is the sleeves that go in the guide. CoD comes with...

    Imes Icore 550i support

    Yes, DT Tech is a arm of DAL. It runs great now, was a bit of a rough start though. Had to send it back once for CAP to work on. Our training came with the machine but the annual maintenance last year was $2250.00 which is $250.00 less than CAP was. Tech was sharp and knew what he was doing. We...

    We got a 250i from CAP but they quit support after the merge with Zahn. We have been using DAL and are very happy. Cheaper than CAP as well.

    Mini implant divergence

    Have done several of these with success (none have come back as of yet). Make an over casting by what ever means you like and add the attachments to this casting. The doc cements the overcasting and the denture snaps on to the attachments on the overcasting. We use o-ring type of attachments...
