[QUOTE="RileyS, post: 355947, member: 3360"] My issue is the same issue I have with all dental marketing and sales reps. Their products are so effing freaking amazing and life simplifying that you'll have nothing but sunshine days for the rest of your life. That's problem number 1. The other problem is that doctors believe the reps and still think that we techs are pure magicians that can see things that aren't there. Some times the cases take waaaayyyyy longer to design than they should because margins are invisible or there are so many things to virtually trim off and holes to patch and then the software sometimes says there's something wrong that needs to fixed and gives you tips on which settings to change and those settings are nowhere to be found within the software or the internet! So you spend 20 minutes making little tweaks until you luckily make the right change and the software advances to the next or final step. My favorite quote from a doctor was made after I requested he mark the margins and he said "I don't know how you can always find the margins cause I'm not exactly sure what to mark." Then, I have to trust the printer is accurately printing. the formlabs was an absolute failure that I spent months talking with formlabs trying to fix. Never once had a good fit to anything. The asiga and rapid shape are way better but every now and then the milled crowns don't fit to to the model. So do I make the crown fit the model? I make a a few tweaks to the crown sometimes but after close to 20,000 milled crowns of various materials I 100% trust the mills output over the prints. I really just like to tell the doctor that we made a crown that perfectly fits all aspects of the stone model that had margins trimmed and verified in the impression with microscope rather than say, "Well, gee Wally, I suppose the digital impression could have been off or maybe my printers aren't outputing a good product. And since I know your scanning wand is the most amazing thing ever to have been created it has to be my equipment." I just like not questioning my work. I still do the digital work but I don't like. Since Cerec I think the industry has just embraced mediocrity and it's not a good thing. I thin there is a lot of mediocrity in digital impressions with most doctors cause they think the technology cures their lack of effort. [/QUOTE]
