Folks,
I realize that this is a dental lab network - however - how many times have you received cases and wondered what the hell is the doc doing? Probably on a daily basis.
In 4 years, it's extremely difficult to teach students to treatment plan patients well. Students are just trying to learn the basics - cook book style -and get out. Probably, just like any other program, including CDT. It's not until you have a few years under your belt and go back for advanced training, where you can finally have that ah-hah moment. There is no place that I"m aware of where folks can go online to learn how others treatment plan cases...with assistance from not only other docs - but you folks - the dental lab techs. Collaboration, virtually. The capabilities of materials have changed in the past few years, and most dentists, unless they are taught otherwise - learn nothing more than PFM crowns....that was me until 1 year ago. So, please take a look at this first case that I put up on a wiki site and chime in with your perspective. It will help the clinical folks......trust me...
Once the case is submitted, they only see what returns - and no nothing of what goes on behind the scenes.
Thanks
Ashley
