emax Patent Expired

[toothgirl]

This is an old exchange I came upon, but I am curious with some time having past, what are your thoughts now? If you were a one man lab just getting into LD today, would you invest in e.max? Another manufacturer? I am looking to press only, with what I currently know anyway..

Yes!

If your not emaxing, your not pressing...
Get the point
Seriously toothgirl, your losing a lot of business to not have emax now, its practically sells itself once a doctor sees/seats the first emax case...Between emax and my FCZ with my scanner, they killed off my pfms.
Wanta go to a happy funeral and watch me bury my casting machine, cameras are welcome.

No question I would invest only in e.max right now.

Why?

Because its the only material with long time expierence, predictable results and a perfect marketing to the doctors.

In Europe ( specially Germany) nobody will buy ceramic from a competitor
(Glidewell) like it happens in USA.

How can a lab buy from a competitor. Lithium Disilcate is so special that I never would risk my lab name in buying ceramic without any long term expierence.

Stay with e.max. The only product with long time expierence, millions of teeth are made out of this material.
E.max is the only answer and price is not always an advantage. Don't pay learning money.

Let the other's try and in some years you can switch if it makes really sense.

If you were doing work for your own mouth, what else would you use...?
e.Max is the best thing in our industry.
