[QUOTE="JMN, post: 333731, member: 8469"] We manage office expectations. It's their job to manage the patient expectations. If they don't, I cannot help it. The medical industry (don't kid yourself, that's exactly what it is) has the most backwards, fouled up, and totally nuts ways. The patient, no matter what letters and such are on the door, is and will continue to be the least informed and consulted person about their own treatment. Techs trying to educate patients on all the material science is a joke. We don't have access first of all. Concern over the replacement schedule of a printed denture is not my problem. The normal ones don't get relined on schedule either. Every office if you dig some will have windows of non-compliance with best practices. Do you go with a 3 ring binder to every denture appointment and let the patients know all about the heat cure denture materials and teeth with MSDS sheets and such? Of course not. If you're gonna preach, I expect you'd at least follow your word once you're out of the pulpit. Do you? Are you making contact and ensureing the patient gets it relined in a timely fashion and is cleaning and caring for it properly? Of course not. The guys clinging to their vulcanizer had really good points about differences too. Acrlyic wasn't as good when it came out as it is now. Let the tech mature. It's really really young. Like 1990's dental mills. Let the dentist worry about patient education. Make as decent a product as you can of what they want and make effort to educate the office. That's what can be done. [/QUOTE]
