    Does anyone still use CAD Spray?

    We use a couple of different scanners and CAD, plus we outsource most of our design work, mostly to 3shape designers. When we started with impression scanning, we had issues with a fairly high percentage of cases. It can be difficult to see the margins clearly, so we study the impression using...

    Zirconia Discs Plastic Ring Coming Off

    We experienced this when some of the manufacturers first started adding plastic rings, and I was told they were going to use a better glue to address it. How old are your discs? There are two other manufacturers who use plastic rings that I have never had a problem with, and working here in...

Also, at IDS this year, a company from Isreal called TAV Dental got some press buzz promoting their new...

    Trios and Printed models

    Welcome to the forums Surfer87. I would ask your lab, because a lot depends on their capabilities, experience and tolerances. I think many would accept a Trios scan for one or multiple implants, especially within one quadrant, while other labs require an impression on implant cases, especially...

    How bad is it to mill Zirconia wet

    I know this has been discussed in several places over the years, but we are considering wet milling zirconia, so I am doing my homework, reading every old thread. I am aware of two milling centers who are doing 100% wet milling of zirconia (with water only),one of them drying them in a...

    Carbon Printer for digital models?

    It seems like weekly for the past year, I would get a message from linkedin saying that someone I know from the 3d printing or material science has "changed jobs" and moved to Carbon. They already have some great materials for industrial applications, and they say that dental materials are a...
