[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 160432, member: 4850"] if it is a fallacy to assume a poor person cannot and will not pay for implants, why would such a person volunteer to visit a specialist to pay speciality denture fees for "great" dentures ? no these people will have sub-par dentures. they will use and abuse them until they are bits of jaundiced acrylic crusted by years of poor oral health. not until socialized dental care is available. then the average person will be able to get great dentures all paid for or at least (forgive the use of the word) partially. good work by good technicians comes with a good pricetag. CADCAM is not about eliminating technicians - it helps eliminate poor workmanship by already accounting for details that some techs just can't produce or engineer. it raises the collective ability of us as a whole. it brings all our work into a higher quality bracket, and at the same time a lower price bracket. with PEEK the pricetags come lower and lower. every year printing gets better and better. if you arent focusing on CADCAM now, then your handmade artisanry had better be far over the current cadcam status and stay there. else it will not take long for it to overtake your abilities, and with you not in the game you will be left behind. that's why the youth are so into it. in a few short years there won't be any more need for handmade. no setups. no mess. no hot irons. no 16 hr days of benchwork. a few dozen clicks to a fantastic smile. a few short hours of ready-to-insert printables, and go home at 4pm.
