[QUOTE="2thm8kr, post: 307529, member: 1367"] You must have a solid rapport/relationship with one or the other. For me it worked out with the GPs. We have worked together for many years they know my abilities and I know theirs. There is a mutal respect. One day I was griping about implant placement on a tough anterior case we did a DX wax up on. We put a lot of effort on our side, but the implants were less than ideally placed, even with an old style thermoformed pilot guide. Lots of extra costs and effort later the case is finished, but could have been better. That started a discussion about guided surgery. The GP asked me what I thought about insisting that every case was guided, Naive me was all for it. So a surgeon we worked started planning cases with the software that came with the CT scanner they had. (Guided doesn't mean perfectly positioned aesthetically speaking, lol) Better, but still not what we were after. Long story short, I made some arrangements with the surgeon to be able to use his planning software in exchange for doing DX work for some of his other referrals. One thing leads to the next and I start trying other planning softwares and now I'm neck deep in it. [/QUOTE]
