[QUOTE="sirmorty, post: 242591, member: 1022"] I'm not to impressed with the printed models I got from a local lab. The few cases I did send them the margins were not even really there. I did a 5 unit bridge from the oral scan and when the model came in it didn't even fit on the printed model. Then when I did the case it didn't fit in the mouth either. Big waste of money and time for both me and my client. Made me look bad as well. I asked them why it didn't fit hoping we could work out the details and see if I should change some settings. They had no answer for me. They basically said that a printed model is basically just a" place holder" for the crown and shouldn't really be used to trust the contacts and fit. Well what's the point of that? Needless to say I don't send them my IO scans anymore. I think the milled models I have been getting are a bit better. The dental world is full of false claims by manufactures. I used to get a little bit angry about it but sadly I have just come to accept it. [/QUOTE]
