[QUOTE="sixonice, post: 9344, member: 2"] I think we got off topic a bit from the original question. If anybody has any questions on the new Sirona Blue Cam scanner, just call your Patterson area rep for a demo.....I did, and the thing is AMAZING. If your going to outsource e.max (Lithium Discilicate),you have (2) options: copings that will need to be layered with porcelain, OR you can have the lab mill you a full-contour restoration that you can put your special stain & glaze touches on. I like full layered e.max in the anterior, and full contour stain & glaze from the promolars back. These are the monolithic (one material) restorations that are changing the industry. What you will need to complete those units is the e.max ceram basic kit and instead of the Essence kit, go for the shade & stain kit for sure. If you do build that business and purchase a press, try and swing for the Ivoclar press. It presses with sensors, knowing when the mold is full, compared to the others that go by a set pressing time that can cause problems for you. Pressing will always be a part of our business. CAD/CAM is also, but ALL labs can basically afford a e.max pressing system, and not a $100,000+ CAD system. Pressing is also MUCH more profitable for you. As for fit, I would say a pressed restoration (under high magnification) versus a milled restoration would have better fit. As for price, milling zirconia is much more expensive than milling e.max Lithium Disilicate. When you price out blocks of each, the zirconia is around 35% higher in cost. The e.max ceram glass is more expensive, but in my opinion looks prettier and also gives you the option to layer any zirconia substrate AND Lithium Disilicate. [/QUOTE]
