[QUOTE="paulg100, post: 89364, member: 1643"] well im a Straumann platinum technician, of course i would. But I dont work with anyone that uses Straumann so i can honestly say ive never used a third party component for a Straumann case :) Thats true but in seriousness i need to work with companies that have research to back up their gear, especially when it comes to implant work. Were registered professionals in the UK now remember ;) so we are answerable to the General Dental Council in the same way as dentists.. That dosent mean i wouldnt/dont use third party components, they just need proper data to back the stuff up, or im dead in the water in a disciplinary hearing. Im not talking about things like model analogs, but certainly anything thats going in some ones mouth, and my clients always know exactly what ive used. Im not qualified to argue if the research is BS or not, but as an end user it at least demonstrates that the company has taken due care in ensuring that their components perform to the necessary standards. This point seems to be overlooked alot of the time here. Were supplying regulated medical devices remember, not coat hangers. You might argue that regulation is BS half the time but thats life. The initial radioactive crap that was coming out of china is probably enough to justify why its there. Of course tons of techs ignore that but thats up to them. Im trying to raise my profile to get the right type of work in, so i cant afford to mess around. And i always make sure my indemnity insurance is up to date. If you get found without that your struck off the register anyway. You sure you still want professional status in the US/Canada :) It will sure cost you money but you wont earn any more for it.
