I don't think it is a purely dollars and cents issue. I think that a well designed and produced framework is well worth a few extra dollars....Remakes, rewelds, and repairs can eat up a lot of time and inconvenience the patients. As productivity goes up quality usually suffers ....for example I have yet to see a hamburger from a chain restaurant look like the picture in the menu ...Pics of the work can represent an unrealistic expectation....but can represent potential quality...I may just do my own frameworks....that way if something goes south I can only blame myself...being that partials are becoming more relevant in our business I think we should be doing them at least to the waxup stage...I know a lot will disagree...Our educational institutions should teach to the waxup design rather than drawing on models....If nothing else it can only enhance our appreciation for it all.
