[QUOTE="dentcre, post: 272438, member: 428"] hey guys, how many here are actually asisting the clinician on implant and all on 4 procedures. I mean the transfer impression beeing the most critical part of importance for us the Lab side , I will asume ither do the same as I do, thats beeing there for the transfer impression and verification if needed, otherwise a remake will be very costly to the Lab. I do verifyvthe impression all the time and make sure even with xrays that impresion coping are properly seated at times. however , I am very curious to hear from other on how do they aproach this , since there might be a liability issue once you assist a dentist . I dont see a better way for success in implant work than having a technician by your side , and since this is a growing demand , I think we need to be prepare and make sure of liability issues. like such as having a lab prescription requesting you to assist the Doc etc. how many here also have seen xrays of poor implants beeing restored and have no right to comment that you know it will fail . when assisting when do you shut up and when do you speak out . If I see an implant that has terrible bone integration and beeing used to make an all on 4, I speak out rightaway even if dentist dont like it or patient, because I am assisting and we need to remember that we as techs ,we do not have the insurance dentist have so be cautious on what you do . I have never had any problems but sometime I think since the demand is growing ,we need to keep an open eye. will like to hear discusion and coments on this subject.. [/QUOTE]
