I get that, but I can be on the phone with Tony from Truabutment in minutes. I guess I just can't believe that people are spending $140+ MORE for a custom abutment from Atlantis.
3Shape is relatively open. I can bring in STL files from any scanner. Cerec is opening up big-time too. Their latest IOS (Primescan) and software is completely open. Digital impressions, models, and even restorations can be sent to ANY lab, no charge.
Another big consideration is the price of Nextdent resin. Ain't cheap, and its your ONLY option. With the asiga, you can shop around and pick the materials that work best for YOU. If you're mostly removables, I would highly discourage the Nextdent. We were not at all impressed with the baseplate...
I can't understand why ANYONE would choose a closed system, even for the price. We have an Asiga MAX and are printing 12+ resins from at 5 different manufacturers.
Sent a case out, doc said mesial contact was a tad light. Whats the best way of adding a little bit of contact after its been cemented? Can you fire the whole thing?
Just don't think we will be able to make that work with our current setup. We have an employee that sits that the 3shape desk scanning the vast majority of the day. We'll need another work station.
Oh trust me, I know. 3Shape is really good for some things, and Exo is far superior for other things (this being one). $6200 for a license, $2000 to build a PC....maybe in 2019.
After some experimentation, everything worked with one big exception. The software forces you to use connectors between anatomical abutments and anatomical pontics rather than allowing the artificial gingiva to act as a bar. Anyone know a solution to this?
