Fit Checker

Claimed true by Exxon. But is it his fault if he's off duty?

Forget the drunken skipper fable. As to Captain Joe Hazelwood, he was below decks, sleeping off his bender. At the helm, the third mate would never have collided with Bligh Reef had he looked at his Raycas radar. But the radar was not turned on. In fact, the tanker's radar was left broken and disasbled for more than a year before the disaster, and Exxon management knew it. It was just too expensive to fix and operate.

Drunk or sober, the captain of the ship is responsible. If he leaves port with broken equipment, anything that happens is his responsibility.

you guys need better milling partners. 1 in 4 off is 1 too many.

Clarification, on a four unit anterior, 1crown didn’t fit. Have had others on occasion, all iTerror models. Got 2 back the other day and like usual the die stone case fits great. But not the iTerror.
If 3fit, wth?

lol...is sure is a lot easier relieving the die.

So what part is flawed? The scan, the milled model? I don’t trust it. But doc always says”Fit Great”!
I know I only want a case for me to come off an impression

Best way to put it is the model is made fast as possible. So the data accuracy goes out the window.

My post was tounge in cheek, but I'm still glad all of my work is with impressions, so far. Just an occasional sirona file. With the artimax system model work is a breeze and having an impression for verification and solid casts is nice.

I know one day my accounts will change to more I/O, but for now, I'm enjoying the ride.

Aren’t the drs your dad and brother? Have them get a steamer. You should have it for removables as well.

Or use your espresso machine steamer

That would be great except in my experience most dentists just want everything out of contact.

Same with mine, they like it out of occlusion, and I want it that way, esp for fcz posteriors so they're not cranking on the occlusion starting micro cracks.
I liked it for the red, compared to the spray...you know, me and red, you greenie

I follow this technique for establishing occlusal contacts but place a spacer (piece of emax sticker) under the die. That way when it does migrate into occlusion, it will be pre engineered for proper occlusion.

My brother went on vacation and I bought a steamer. I am waiting here like 2 days before Christmas.
