[QUOTE="Jason D, post: 297827, member: 12217"] Its a very small minority today, but it will change rapidly over the next 2 years, there are one or two behavioral things to fix and 2 technical obstacles going from analog to digital in the lab workflow. the real problem is compliance from the dentists. also they all want to do it with IOS ....which is not possible of course.... and the hype you see is just that - hype. they are trying to make you think you are behind if you are not already doing digital dentures, and the fact is the workflow and costs are not there yet, so you would be R&D not a manufacturer (as we always are, but you don't make money that way, and many labs don't have a lot of extra time and cash to spare). The Ivoclar method? It may be further along than some of the others BUT if you think milling is the way to go with removables I think you do not know much about milling....subtractive manufacturing is going to die as fast as materials and processes get in line with additive manufacturing, its just way too efficient. Nope Ivoclar is promoting digital milling of dentures to get you to buy their new line of mills and pucks because their cash cow of emax is dying so fast. [/QUOTE]
