[QUOTE="Sarah Downs, post: 280773, member: 20317"] My lab just got off the phone with an Argen sales rep about this whole mess. We're dealing with trying to identify scan bodies for implant cases sent to us via Trios, which is a whole 'nother rodeo. We're told the implant itself is a Straumann BL, but the scan body could be NT Trading, could be the new ArgenIS. We've more or less figured out what the doctor used and we're working with her to get systems in place that we can both use without this huge hassle. Long story short, this has been a nightmare without a convenient solution. We're still trying to figure out which analogs to order.* With iTero, at least there are a limited number of implants we could be dealing with. With Trios, the doctor uses whatever implant systems the sales reps suckered them into and then sends it to us to sort it out. In some cases, it might be easy to figure out just by looking at the scan body. In others, they could be... just about anything. Or something we've never seen before. It seems like digital implant cases have always been a circus, but Trios is really reopening the wound, even for labs who had a system down. Anyway, I'm hoping things work out with an iTero case we just got as well. I sent it to have them make the models, but probably should have gotten the scans on my computer first, since it's locked now, and it seems they're going to take their sweet time making it available for export. I guess my entire point is, we got a rash of implant cases we didn't even know where to start with. I've been skimming this forum, but finding I understand very little of what's being said. Does anyone have a workflow for Trios, in particular? We were told by Argen that we'll be receiving materials to become "Trios Ready," though I don't really understand what that means beyond having all the proper modules and dmes for 3Shape (which I think we already have). Sorry for the meandering post. This has been a frustrating week. :rolleyes: *Update even as I was typing this. Apparently it was an ArgenIS scan body, and we just needed the dmes for Argen Model, which allows us to have them create and send a model to us with the analog in place. This whole process has been like... uhh. Pulling teeth. [/QUOTE]
