Maybe his nose was running late?
Yes. For awhile Zahn had A2 on BO almost a month. Early mid summer.Anyone experiencing backorders from Dentsply to suppliers on certain shades?
I’ve seen a couple and it looked like Hader clips retained them.I was at a cancer hospital one time waiting on a prosthodontist, when suddenly a cancer patient with no nose walked in wondering where his doctor was. I mean you could see right into his sinuses. It nearly made me jump but then I noticed he had implants around his nose where they could just click on the prosthesis. I think he was waiting on his new nose, very cool.
Hearing aids have really gone high tech now. I would think both the eyeballs and hearing aids are printed or milled now. I'm not against digital, just don't like the road it's trying to take, and I have options I do want to get my 25 year CDT certificate before I quit though , 2 more years
I remember when I opened the letter that said I passed the practical portion of the exam and was a CDT, it was a journey that meant an immediate pay raise from the shocked dentist I was working for who said he didn't like to hire women because they always run off and get pregnant, lol, got a 10% raise every year after that until i opened my own lab. It just meant something to me, and I got the pin a couple of months ago. I'm bored with DT now, it's an important service , but not sure I'll keep it up, we'll see. I think it's more of the personalities and psychology of it all, if it was just the practical part without all the baggage I would love it.It’s just a CDT patch with a 25 on it.
In reality, it’s just a number. Don’t hang on just for that. You earned that CDT certification, You’re always a CDT in my eyes. Doesn’t matter if you still pay to play and collect your CE points. IMO.
I called Keystone to check on their plans as I had lots of grrrrrr over Dply and Coltene axing stuff. They are not only axing nothing, but ramping to meet higher demand they've already seen from Dply and Coltene users.I believe there are whole threads here over the years on the pros and cons of certification, this thread is also important and I don't want to hijack it, I used Neowax for many years and already gave my opinion on D-ply, hope other manufacturers don't follow their lead.
I hope Keystone also purchases the Lucitone repair material and Lucitone acrylic rights as well. D-ply is stepping on their own tail, hope the other manufacturers realize that that's not the way to build a business. In case they don't know, you build rapport, then you offer something better until it is the norm, not just pull 50 years of products and try to force the new... arrrrgggggI called Keystone to check on their plans as I had lots of grrrrrr over Dply and Coltene axing stuff.

I hope someone buys the production rights for Permasoft. That's the dply product I'll miss most.
No disrespect but Dsply is a lil bigger player in the world market than you may realize. If you don't keep ahead of the curve you may become a backmarker... They are in it to make money. BIG money. Not to keep us little buyers happy.I hope Keystone also purchases the Lucitone repair material and Lucitone acrylic rights as well.
