Ya'll know how much I like my Luckman postdam so I'll just post a link for those who are unfamilar with it.

But I'd really like to start a thread with pics of other postdams. Here's one:

Is that the McDonald's logo upside down in that picture?

We use a modified butterfly extending from the fovea to the hamular notch. Its a 1/2 mm bead line in the most posterior aspect with a gradual taper to the most ant aspect of the wing.

I would imagine this is the most replicated PPS that is in use today. The sad thing is the number of techs that have no understanding of the visual landmarks and just try and scribe something that looks like what they think should be present.

We all know its the clients job to mark the vibrating line but how many actually do.

It could be...it came with fries.

...and what part of "with pics" did you not understand?

Well, it's not like that's written in...or even drawn on...stone. popcorn

Yeah yeah I know Tim

I suck at photography and have not done anything to improve.

The good camera is at home but if I get around to it I will take a pic or two.

Sorry Tim no pics just comment.

The more I see of your work, the more I like.
U.C.L.A. teaches the open butterfly, U.S.C. teaches closed butterfly. I am a U.C.L.A. gal.
The open butterfly is easer to adj. chairside for the Dr. and will 'dig in' a bit better if the patient has a shallow or bony palette.

This is our typical post-dam. This one is for a maxillary reline. It's a little blurry....like me.
