A call to get back to "good-old-fashioned" lab work



(original contents repost from dentistrytoday.com)







Interesting read! 
The call from the author ( Paul Feuerstein, DMD) is to "step back" from running to digital, and improve your basic skills.

 I believe that a solid analog foundation can be enhanced by digital - the 2 can live harmoniously...for now.

After reading, thoughts on either side of this?

Plan your Smile with Diagnostic Wax Ups by Drake Dental Laboratory

Image
YOU SHOULD WAX!Diagnostic Wax Ups are a great way to treatment plan full mouth, full arch, or several unit spans for you and your patient. 

Before the commitment is made, why not have a visual aide?

The wax up can be canted, lengthened, changed, and discussed until it is clinically and aesthetically ready to be made into a permanent restoration. The Wax Ups serve as a blueprint, and a patient-dentist-lab communication - all of this provides confidence and assurance in the final investment.
