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?

Does anyone know how to set up the order form in 3Shape for these?

So we're going to start printing solid models rather than models with removeable dies from TRIOS scans. Is there any way to remove the tissue around the margin without using the manual sculpt tool? We want to be able to seat the crowns on the solid printed model without having to grind away by...

If anybody has these for Model Builder in 3Shape that they could send me, I would very much appreciate it!!

So we have a doctor that attended a symposium and is asking us about our zirconia (we use Origin Beyond Plus). He's now insisting that only use zirconia with a Y3 classification, as opposed to Y5 or Y7. I don't know what these classifications are (I do know they're different than ISO classes). I...

Just diving into this case. Doc wants a screw retained on #9. The trajectory of the implant is shooting out quite far to the facial, as you can see in the screenshot. Is there any way to make this work? I'm new to screw-retained crowns, so any help would be much appreciated.

Another implant question, sorry!! I have a case with a 6.0 Tri-Nex Southern Implant. Are there any other systems that this is compatible with/is there anyone that will mill a custom abutment from design file for me? Thanks!

Anybody know of anyone that mills MegaGen custom titanium abutments? CMC and Argen are both no-go. TIA.

So we're going to be rolling out in-house designed custom abutments as opposed to just using stock. Would anyone be willing to share some pricing information. We really aren't sure what to charge. We're located in the midwest. Can anyone tell me what range most labs in our market are charging...

So I am playing around with our new 3Shape E3. What do you guys use to stick your models to the plate? They sent this Blu Tack stuff, but our stone models wont stick to it. They keep falling off mid-scan. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone, so we just purchased a 3 Shape system, with an additional design seat. So we've got the E3 scanner, with their required PC, and I'm building a PC for the second design seat. After looking at the specs for the HP Z240 that the system came with (and, as far as I know, requires),I'm...

I'm milling a 6-unit anterior zr bridge. Do most people leave the lingual connectors attached to a section of the disc while it's sintering on this length bridge? If so, what do you use to cut the connectors after it's been sintered? TIA.

Anybody using this? I bought some, but can't seem to find a materials file or even a set of printing parameters anywhere. I've called 3D sytems, no luck. I've called Avadent (whom I bought it from) several times. Can't get a call back. I'm very frustrated at this point. Anybody using this that...

Milling our first PMMA in house. With pre-shaded pucks, is there any staining necessary or do they just need a polish? Thanks!

I'd like to start offering surgical guides. I need to do some reading on the process. Anybody have any good links for this?

Where in the bleep can I get this stuff milled? Lol Doctor wants what doctor wants. Not my call. Will anyone mill it?

We're looking to switch CAD systems from Dental Wings to something else. A BIG priority is being able to scan impressions, run through a model builder, and print. Which platform is better at this between Exo and 3Shape?

Ok so basically, we'd like to start offering all on 4 dentures. We do a lot of single crown implants (we typically send the case to dentsply for custom abutments),but we have the capability already to do everything in house. We want to mill Trinia bars and fabricate a denture over it. Where...

Are there pros and/or cons to wet milling zirconia instead of milling it dry? Thanks!

Can anybody who has used both of these offer up some info? Is there a significant difference in production capability between these two machines? Theoretically, it seems like there would be since you could load up 52DC and let it run overnight, whereas with the 51, it requires swapping out the...
