- Clifton Harris DDS Hi Derrick. Thanks for responding. What blocks option do you pick if you are using the bruxZir blocks from Glidewell? All I see is Zr disc 98.5 mm options.. not blocks. I have the MCX5 milling unit and a MCX unit for Chairside ... thanks

- Derrick Staggs I'm pretty sure you can mill zirconia blocks in the MCX5. I've done it before.

I have a question about the STL export module for Inlab SW 15/16. What is the reason we have to buy this for 3 K every year? Sirona is great and all and love it to death....but I feel this is a little extravagant for just the ability to export. I'm a doctor that places a ton of implants with guides I make myself with Blue Sky Bio, I don't have a sirona 3D scannner (Planmeca). I do export many other items as well. Is Sirona just that greedy that they dont believe other SW 's and other n... more

- Clifton Harris DDS Yes I see the business aspect, However still sucks!! But I'll buy it cause I need it! Feels like once a year alimony!!! 😜

- Frank Acosta In my opinion...only my opinion. I think the reason for the fee is if you are going to be using a third party anything, If you stay with in Sirona then there is no fee. Since they would rather you buy Sirona Equipment. In a business sense I can understand. But I understand what you are saying tho

Question: when design upper and lower hybrid gingival bridges, I build the upper one to a PMMA temp that i like the contours etc... then I'm trying to virtually seat the upper one to start on the lower one to allow easier flow on my computer but it wont let me seat it. It says " incomplete restorations found Virtual seating cannot be preformed. The following restorations cannot be seated. -1. I assume -1 is the gingival areas. Any recommendations??

- Frank Acosta As of now There seems to be an issue in sw when it comes to this. Hopefully it will be fixed in the up coming sw. For now i would just propose upper and lower at the same time.

So I have in the past signed up with Sirona connect as a dentist and a lab, but of course have forgotten my password.... I have tried several time to reset my password but the reset email never comes!! Check spam, trash etc.. Can't find them. So my question is , is there a US phone number to get in touch with someone to speak about my password OR is the German number the only one.
Thanks,
Cliff

Hi guys. I need help setting up Cerec connect so I can send myself scans from my omnicam for a patient that absolutely can't do impressions. I have SW15.1, mcx5, scanner etc... So I've never set up the connect because I make all my own stuff. So how do I get started? Thanks,
Cliff

What causes it. I knew the scan body was correct, I place them with loops on. Use a new one each time. Anyone ever have this problem?
Comment 0 0 Share
- Frank Acosta Yes but if after you cement them you place it back on the model and it "should" work perfect. Haven't had that issue. What brand is it?
  
  on September 27 at 03:24 PM Edited 0 0
- Clifton Harris DDS Yes I see that but shouldn't it still align with the hex of the implant? When I move the tibase and crown around the implant hex's it doesn't line up at all with the next door tooth as it did I the software proposal. Must be a glitch. I'll redo with new scan and such and see what it does. Second time in a few months it's happened to me. Thanks

- Frank Acosta Normally right before you go to the Produce phase does it say that the implant position will change for better milling? Or something of the sort?
  on September 27 at 11:20 AM Edited 0 0
- Clifton Harris DDS Hi Frank. Scanning with inEos X5 on model. I do all my implants on a model. I use the actual tibase I will use for the restoration and the white scan cap.

- Frank Acosta Are you scanning them in the mouth? Also are you using the scanpost or Tibase to do the scan?
