[QUOTE="FASTFNGR, post: 324980, member: 3900"] I disagree that digital is a better quality counting all the sales reps from all companies saying a digital denture is a cheap denture and you can not charge the same price as an analogue denture. One, it is a mono color. Teeth are printed in a mono color too. Can not be relined with standard acrylic( have to use binder and you know what the results are ) cost wise a good printer is about $10 to 15 k, resin is not cheap ($300 to $400/L. Dentsply is selling their resin to only Carbon users. That is $50 k a year lease. So calculate all your digital equipment VS analogue, your way ahead with analogue knowing what the price is for reg acrylic. Tell me what you think about this: A dentist ask for a denture for an X patient. A lab does a printed denture. Patient does not know that because it is the last thing that a dentist want to give away. Patient X move to a different city or a different dentist and ask to be relined. New dentist does not know it is printed, the new lab gets this denture to reline, at the end he tries to finish it, it starts falling apart because he did not use bonder. On top of that if that printed denture has a bonded fiber, the new lab starts festooning and the fibers goes in the dust. Results: the patient is scared, the lab is screwed and the dentist is screwed. Less than 15% of dentist uses digital denture or at least ask for it according to some statistics. Peace. [/QUOTE]
