So you think they look identical? Some digital expert that the sales lady said I should be placing orders through...I don't recall his name off hand, but I could find it. His opinion is the STML is better. Im just curious.

Just to set the record straight, I do own a 35 person dental laboratory and deal with materials all the time. The lab, ADT has been a leader in the region for all ceramics for decades. In addition, I do no sales at Zahn nor HS.Since when does some 'digital expert' at zahn get to see different units on a model or in the mouth for that matter. Who cares what salespeople say.
What good is a material you cant do bridges with? Although I use it and think it looks great, it will be outdated soon. Heres a single central (8) I did in fx multilayer, I milled an A1 and took it too a C1 incisal, I actually lightened it up when the Dr reprepped the buccal margin
Thank you. Respectfully, about 80% of the fixed cases going into dental labs are single units. That said, this material can provide a really nice result for so many labs dentists and patients. Another very successful product was really a single unit only material. At one time e.max was likely the most prescribed single unit material in the dental lab.
Sorry, no 95mm blocks. What mill do you have?
Too bad, all closed systems....
Ive had my mill for almost over 3 years and I havent had to buy amann zirconia unless I wanted to, and I wasnt missing anything. Jack there are at least 5-6 companies off the top of my head that have 95mm offerings. Youre not locked in, you just havent looked hard enough. Any company that doesnt cut a disk in your shape isnt interested in your business anyways. It wasnt a year or two ago that everyone was saying how big and bad AG was for their 'closed' D shape mill, but now they open it
Sorry, you do not have the numbers incorrect. It's more likely that 99 out of 100 disc manufacturers don't make discs that fit every mill.
ZZ has made the disc 95mm disc holder to lock users into ZZ products ONLY. We went through this stuff more than a decade ago with Lava. Everyone got up in arms with CLOSED architecture of any kind. Amann Girrbach at one time was closed as they were making the 71mm "D" disc. They figured it out and now offer a 98MM holder and 98mm discs. ZZ wants to continue to lock their customer in. You have no way of managing costs, your material selection, tooling, support when you buy closed systems like ZZ. I believe they even have a locked ZZ version of Exocad.
