Flippercentral, I am going to make a side by side comparison as a post. Makes me shake in my boots a little, I've always been reluctant to share my work with more experienced denturists.
don't worry about it. everyone's a critic. as long as it passes your tests it doesnt matter what anyone else (besides the patient) thinks.
its still a great tool though; it can help boost your own confidence, and help others who are still on the fence who may be looking at the pros/cons like you are.
most of what people will tell you about the process is of little import anyway. no matter how you slice it you are glueing two things together. everytime.
digital dentures advances are coming down the pipe but they may be a bit extreme for some people. a bit too far fetched. thats more or less why the first step in this digital age for denturism had to be mimicking the waxing, elsewise the only people with inklings of the future would be the people literally pioneering it and nobody else. there had to be a way for people to translate their skills in the hand-made world.
and now we have at least 4 methods with varying esthetics and varying skill levels all with some amount of hand finishing required. none of them allow you to pull a finished denture out of a machine (yet).
