[QUOTE="CanadaDenturist, post: 332762, member: 24724"] Hello. This is my first post here and just looking for some overall feedback. I'm a denturist looking at getting into the world of digital dentures and the Amann Girrbach system appeals to me the most, mainly because of the fact that with the Motion 2 mill you can mill the basal and occlusal surfaces of Vita(and other) teeth using the DD Frame. To my knowledge AG is the only system in which you can do this. Or am I possibly missing something? Since I'm a denturist and will only be using the mill for dentures and related products(milled implant substructures, partial frameworks etc) I don't want to get a mill where I don't have the ability to make single dentures against an opposing natural dentition. Making a single denture against an opposing dentition would require alteration of the occlusal surface of the teeth which I don't believe any other mills/systems can do at this time. Is this correct or are there any others that can mill the basal and occlusal surfaces of the teeth? Alternatively, does anyone know if the exclusivity of AG being able to mill the basal and occlusal surfaces of Vita teeth will be ending and will be available on other platforms in the future? Does anybody here currently use the Motion 2 to mill both the denture base and teeth? If so, what are your thoughts of the results and process? Also, has your Motion 2 been consistantly reliable? I know AG sends out their own people to do repairs(apparently you have to pay their travel and accommodations as well) and the possible down time is a big consideration in my mind in going digital since they come from the US and I am in Canada. If you do have service needed to your mill how long is your typical down time? I know there are much less expensive mills available which I could use to mill a denture base and use the Vita Vigo teeth, but then the mill can't alter the occlusal surface of the teeth. I know I could 3D print denture bases and teeth but I've never seen any great looking 3D printed dentures. I offer premium and high quality teeth and I feel using 3D printing would be taking a step backwards. Your input is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
