[QUOTE="miltonic, post: 348913, member: 21888"] Hey thanks so much everyone for sharing their thoughts. I agree, printing is a much better option than milling pmma, if the resin is quality. The time is much faster printing, and the wear on the mill is significant, and less accurate when compared to a fine resolution printer, particularly in areas where the burr would have a hard time milling, and also burr compensation over milling. Plus costs of pmma puck much higher per splint than printing. It sounds like Keystone is well received by a lot of technicians. That's great to hear, I did purchase the resin, I opted for the hard version since one of our clients is afraid the soft would make the patients want to chew on it and activate the masticators. I'm not a clinician, I'm sure it's just one concern/opinion, where as most clients would probably be happy with it. LuthorCorp, what do you think about Keystone hard resin for fit/durability and patient preference? Also, I have Exocad's bitesplint module, I thought I saw one of your earlier posts that mentioned you initially weren't printing models with your splints, but then had to resort to printing them because they needed additional adjustments to get the fit and occlusion dialed in better. Are you still following that protocol to print out a model, mount it and dial in fit and excursions? Or have you optimized your design to have great fit right out of the print and accurate excursions? Thanks so much for sharing, I learn a lot from you guys. [/QUOTE]
