Had the pleasure of speaking to about 80 doctors at the Toronto study club yesterday. It is always inspiring to get good feedback and keeps the motivation going. I outlined throughout my presentation the most likely errors someone will make when first using 4.0 with the learning curve so I thought I would outline them here:
- Entering the wrong design type by mistake (calling it a crown when it is a partial crown)
- Not selecting the correct sized block at the mill phase (placing the wrong block size in the milling machine will delay the process as the machine will kick out an error saying there is something wrong with an instrument / bur when in reality you just put in the wrong block)
- Not recognizing that there is no status bar in acquisition phase when models in corelation (biogeneric copy) are being stitched automatically and wondering if they have done something wrong
- Spacer at 0 in 3.8 is 100 in 4.0
- In quads, placing margins on wrong tooth. Place margin on tooth that is highlighted in gold halo in step menu
- Not following protocol and placing model in correct orientation at insertion axis step
- Not making sure the patient is biting into maximum intercuspation during buccal bite capture
- Control H does nothing for fit. Not in this version or prior versions
- Can't have a Cerec discussion without addressing preps. Must prep and visualize how it will mill, getting proper isolation, and proper tissue retraction
