The technology is here, we just need faster PC's. ``````````````````````` Stephen (What's a temporary?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | >>>Can somebody tell me what impression materials r being used today?

Attended an implant seminar where the Nobel Biocare's procera system was being used. Costs for Imaging were given in the $350-500 CDN range if I recall. That will have to come down quite a bit before some practitioners will give up their alginate. SignatureRoy rem NADA to reply >| >>>Can somebody tell me what impression materials r being used today?

The computer then *stitches* the small images together to make one big image. I takes too long for the computer to "crunch" all those algorithums right now for it to be practical--for full arch use. You don't want to wait 20-30 minutes to see how the image looks with the patient in the chair. To add in the detail of the entire palate and the vestibule would probably triple the data needed and increase the time required to crunch the data up to a few hours. However, once affordable PC's have enough power, we WILL be making complete centures off intraoral scans. The plastic mold makers already have equipment capable of reproducing a CAD-CAM design off a digital model by additive processes, so it will not have to be milled either. ``````````````````````` Stephen (What's a temporary?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Agreed, you catch the new Cerec listings on eBay?

Yep, I watch them closely in case I want to advice Stovamatic to move on a good deal. No good deals lately. One new C3 from Vancouver, but who knows what the reserve is. A new player is on the market trying to sell their own version of the imaging powder. They have 5 or more listings every day on eBay. I don't see any bids on it though. I bet they woud do better sending out small samples to all the Cerec doc's. Hugs to Mrs. Brown and "little" Molly. ``````````````````````` Stephen (What's a temporary?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >Can somebody tell me what impression materials r being used today?

The type of impression material used depends on the dentist's technique and the purpose of the impression. Some impression materials are suitable for some techniques and purposes, but not for others. - dentaldoc >> Can somebody tell me what impression materials r being used today?

I like using compound for lower dentures, most of my dentist pals use something else. The ADA does won't list tissue conditioner as an impression material ('cause it won't meet the specs) but Charlie uses it a whole lot for just that. Results talk, the rest is squawk. |
