[QUOTE="Lindsay Patterson, post: 292601, member: 20653"] The bridge was already done. I had nothing to do with the design, mill, stain or glaze. The patient was completely unhappy with it so I did what I could to save them from starting all over. Not sure how the work flow is in your area but in mine, no is not an option or kiss that doctor goodbye. You have to make it happen. The parameters in CAD are the only part of the process that remains the same no matter what (unless you change them) so you can pretty much eliminate that as a factor of inconsistent crowns. CAM maintenance is extremely important as well as having a good nesting software with good support. I have also found that the sintering oven, beads and firing trays can play a large role in inconsistency. Every technician has their own ways and opinions but I have met very few that has no adjusting after its sintered. The ones that get it perfect have way more time per crown to work on them than I do. I would like to note that every technician who preached perfection also had a recommendation of burs to use. Im guessing thats because a few of their crowns at one point or another weren't perfect:) [/QUOTE]
