After gathering lots of feedback, and watching face shield design around the world, we’ve modified the original @carbon face shield design to better protect the top of the shield. The concept is very simple, by modifying the top@of the@shield we can pull it back and secure it with a simple zip tie. Similar concepts have been validated at various medical centers. In the meantime Max has printing over 150 masks. Our v1 mask will be ready to send this week. Our version 2 mask will allow us to print 50% quicker and uses less material, allowing us to make more masks, quicker while stretching our budget. Huge shout out to Max Kempi and Aaron Freyer who have worked relentlessly to get these done!

Great news, after virtually all the face shield plastic in the US sold out, Max finally tracked a couple hundred masks worth of PTEG plastic down in Illinois! In the meantime we will keep printing frames until it arrives! #covid19 #dentistry #dentallab #makeithappen

COVID is hitting the SF Bay Area hard but that doesn’t mean we are out for the count. No work, no problem. Max Kempi, our Director of Advanced Prosthetics, has taken it upon himself to 3D print 100 face shields for Santa Clara Valley Medical @vmc_foundation using the @carbon COVID open source 3D printing protect. The design is super simple and the shield attaches using a standard three hole punch, we placed a clear plastic sleeve for demo purposes but we have real plastic showing up on Monday. Get it done Max! Dental labs, want to get involved? DM us for info. Got suggestions? Let us know. #dentallab #3dprinting #carbonprinting #covid_19 #covıd19 #covid #coronavirus

Lab tip: A little hot glue secures the bite and gives a more accurate scan, leading to a better fitting crown. Really important when you don’t have a posterior stop. Scanning the model using 3 Shape.

The CDC is reporting that Coronavirus transmission

The CDC is reporting that Coronavirus transmission takes place two ways. As a dental lab we see thousands of unique cases a month. With reports of a potential 40-70% population infection rate we felt it necessary to formulate an action plan to reduce the risk of exposure and transmission. We are encouraging everyone else to do the same. Read more about it in our story. #dentistry #coronavirus #dentallab #dentallaboratory #staysafe

Experimenting with the Miyo porcelain system. This stuff is the real deal and the hype at the Chicago Midwinter Meeting was well deserved, the booth was always packed! This is our first pass but we are very impressed with the characterization and translucent effects provided on this solid zirconia hybrid. The tissue porcelain is also really nice. Next time we will attempt this without tinting the tissue pink to see if we can achieve better esthetics. @jensen_dental @jensendental @miyoexperts_n.america @glinieckidominik @advancedrestorativetechnician #neverstoplearning #dental #cosmeticdentistry #prosthodontics #dentaltechnology

We are excited to announce the launch of ART Studio. Headed by @glinieckidominik each case will be a study in the natural beauty of the treatment plan. Over the last three years we’ve assembled an incredibly talented multi-disciplinary team of dental technicians from ceramists to implant technicians to prosthetics techs. By blending these disciplines together we believe we’ve created something truly unique and we are excited to share the work with you. Follow at @advancedrestorativetechnician to see our work. #cosmeticdentistry #prosthodontics #oralsurgery #dentistry

Metal finishers are some of the unsung heroes of the dents lab. Day in and day out, they make sure frameworks are ready for porcelain work. They laser weld warped frames and short margins and make sure cases get delivered on time and in great condition. All at great risk to their fingers 😳 #dentallab #dentaltech #dentallablife

Scanner design has come a long way since they were

Scanner design has come a long way since they were first introduced to the market. Originally, a case like this would have to be broken off the articulator base or we had to make a split cast. Then a bite scan was required to line the models up. As you can imagine that introduced a lot of variables into the process. The new @3shape open design allows for scanning models while mounted. A tremendous improvement to our workflow. #dentistry #digitaldentistry #dentallab #dentaltechnician #dentaltechnology

Pressing emax requires that a heated emax ingot be placed within the cast. Then a plunger is added which will be used to press the emax into the cast. The pressing schedule is complicated but our Ivoclar ovens really take care of all the detail. #emax #ivoclar #dentistry #dental #dentallab #dentaltech
