[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 293959, member: 126"] To the original poster, Full arch impressions always have to be equilibrated. Also, you may find most labs actually make most of their crowns out of occlusion, why you ask?...that blasted pdl (periodontal ligament). What I find best, is to use 80-100 micron articulating paper, that's what we use in our lab. The only marks (as very subtle they are),are on stamp cusps or some folks like to call them working cusps. That way, if it is in occlusion during delivery the Doc is only adjusting those cusps and very minimally. This takes time and a great line of communication with a new Doc in a lab. We actually use these evaluation cards and require any new Docs to fill them out for the first couple months to get them dialed in to where they are making no to absolutely very minor adjusting. With Digital, it's pretty easy on our side to make each Docs parameters the same to get the consistency you want. Keep at it, my advice, keep a log like you did back in organic lab...logging, tracking, detailing deliveries of each patient to you get your own parameters dialed in. Sucks be a lab tech some days doesn't it?...we drink a lot of beer :) [/QUOTE]
