s. Grim

[turbo2nr]

Hey, you getting a new set of choppers up front?

I'm making a few teeth for a S. Grim, from down South.

Whoever is getting these are getting the best materials on the planet, 1/2 designed on CAD system from Germany using space-age materials and the top half is hand-crafted layers of porcelain also from Germany, ground into shape and glazed by me.

Maybe one of your relatives?

Anyway....we're doing our best because the patient may know someone who is on this board and may just own a Buick.

 

[SGRIM]

No not me? Unless someone stole my ID Maybe I need some more info:biggrin:

 

[turbo2nr]

This persons mouth looks to be 35-50yrs old. We're making a lower bridge for the front teeth. All ceramic.

Case came from VA Beach/Northern North Carolina area.

Not a common last name that I know of.

Oh well. we'll still do our best, even if you don't know him/her.


Have a great 4th!

Scott

HEY....

what about custom engravings.... could one get the Turbo 6 logo on the front:biggrin: :biggrin: or maybe the Tri-shield emblem??:tongue:

colored, diamonds, gold inlays, whatever is available



I want falsies now

 

[turbo2nr]

We have done maybe 30 tatoos on ceramic teeth.
Made all sorts of shapes with Gold.

I got a little bling in the back of my mouth.

 

[Pronto]

Only Argenco 75 for me. Got 3.

Yo, hows it hanging Pronto!

Keeping busy this summer? I'm slammed!

I've had great success with milling those 3M Lava widgets!

Investing in my second Lava mill this summer for another quarter million. I could keep some profit, but why stop here? I need some Shane Grim type of money to rock and roll!

I have also played around with designing partial denture frameworks on CAD and printing with rapid-prototype stuff. I work with 3D Systems | Rapid Prototyping, Advance Digital Manufacturing, 3-D Modeling, 3-D CAD CADBLU and of course 3M, along with CYNOPROD™: Technology... Profitability... Reliability and Evirsa [ Evolving Virtual Technologies ] . I've seen some stuff that will change our industry forever.

I want a laser sintering mill. (draws complex 3d shapes out of many different metals. Laser melts and fuses powered metal to 10micron accuracy. Small work area though....maybe some compressor wheels? I always wanted a Yttrium-tetragonaly stabilized Zirconium-dioxide wheel. 3000F melting temp....harder than a diamond.....lightweight. Should be around $2000-$4000 for the raw material, it's medical grade stuff for hips and knees, and teeth. Real tough stuff. Milled soft then sintered.


OK, it's the Holiday for crying out loud!
No more talking about work untill Mon.

If your into partials look at this: Medical & Dental - Sensable A friend of mine is working there and that machine is something else.

We are a very small lab, one milling machine is plenty for us. We are starting to do full contour milling for dentists that don't want to invest in their own Cerec miller. That works great and is fast. We're busy but several of our accounts are taking vacations next week so no OT for me unless of course there is some "emergancy" like going to FL.

Actually I'm surprised more YZ is not used by the auto industry. I remember at one time they were talking engine blocks that didn't need a water jacket. I definately could see compressor wheels in YZ.

I have met all the Sensable guys in CA last Nov. I played with the Haptic device and it feels real cool! I even played with the C&B software for use with the Haptic. You can reach behind an object (model/tooth) and feel the back side with the haptic wand aiming towards you, stuff you can't even see on the monitor. Then you can push real hard and enter an object on the screen! Now you are trapped inside an object and can pull back and feel the inner walls! Close your eyes and you'd swear you were touching the real thing. Press buttons on the pen/wand and start to pull/push surfaces...the wand also rotates. Scan/digitize an object and carve/add to it and process. I have a few partial frame patterns at my lab made by various printers. One came from the Sensable software printed on a regular resolution 3d printer. It feels rough, and there are higher resolution printers now used that feel glossy smooth almost.

I see them on ebay for $2k often (the haptic device). Comes with generic software to manipulate 3d files.

I believe a touch screen will be faster/cheaper/more reliable.more lab environment friendly, etc.... Bob Steinburg (owner)at Sensable wants $50,000 for that plastic input device and software (Dental version....yeah right) that's really worth only a few grand. Then you need a scanner and an output device like a 3d printer or laser sintering or a mill

SensAble Technologies Phantom Desktop Haptic Device - eBay (item 300238688664 end time Jul-09-08 19:29:25 PDT)

This is the only one I could find at the moment.

Real neat, BUT, your arm gets tired after about five minutes of holding it up in the air.

Touch screen laid flat is the way to go. Built into countertop.

I need some new grillz!!

My friends name is Jeff from SesAbel. He has brought samples to us of the 3D printing. Damn nice! The C&B stuff is farther out but they have several larger labs using the partial system with great success. When I looked at the stylis I thought the same, it would get tiring holding it. I would like to see it more like a waxing pen. That would put the device over the top for being "virtual". They are located down in MA about 30 miles from me. We have been invited to visit but Jeff is often on the road doing installs and training. We'll get there one of these days.

Shane, here is the pic of a maryland bridge I was PMing you about. They are all custom made with unlimited shapes and sizes. Nothing pre-made.
Imagine the anchors wrapping around your molars to complete a band, with the top open to chew on. That's how I design mine for the back of your mouth. Better engineering if you have the room. Bands are .5mm thickness. No good teeth are ground on. We can make it all tooth colored or use metal. This example has a little of the origibnal tooth removed, but not necessary.

 

[Pronto]

I would still have a rest seat and bracing arm rest on the molar and bi. I know composits are super strong but I still like to see some stops against occlusal forces. Most Maryland bridges we get are in the anterior. I don't like the way the wings darken the abutments. Not a problem on posteriers though. We have used YZ for them too. Much nicer in the anterior.

No rest needed on my posterior design. The above pic is just a generic.

My design has a 360 band around the axial walls of abutments. Of course they act the exact same as rest and bracing arm, so none needed. Looks like a doughnut or life-ring around the molar. No prep needed on tooth. Make them everyday for labs all over. Never seen a pic of my style design from another lab or in a magazine, now my secrets out. (shhhhh)

I haven't made a metal anterior MD/VA bridge in years. I use YZ for almost everything now. Why not?

Unfortunately many drs in NE are old school and not ready to experiment with "new" stuff. It's a battle here.
The ring design is interesting. That might work for low clinical crowns. I'll keep that in my lab tech's bag of tricks, after all we are magicians.:biggrin:

Cool, I appreciate that!!! I am interested!

Here are some examples of tattos on ceramic teeth. You want a Power6 logo?
CAN DO!
