_Do you feel your workflow is more efficient now becauseof3Shape? The 3Shape system is very fast for designing restorations. What I like is that if the initial design is not where I want it, it is easy to maneuver into a position that I like. I can look at cusp to fossa relationships and feel like I have control over the functional occlusion with a patient. This is very important to me. 3Shape’s solutions not only helped me to meet my business goals, they have actually established new ideas for me in the laboratory business. I am setting up a new business model based upon digital design and milled posterior restorations. So far, it’s been really successful. Our clients have been really stoked about the results. _There’s a lot of industry talk about CAD/CAM technology putting dental technicians out of work. Whatisyourtake? Asfarasthenumberofemployeeswehavehere, and the impact that digital dentistry has had on our team, we have not reduced our number of employ- ees at all. My philosophy on this particular area is that digital dentistry should be a tool that doesn’t threaten, but makes us more productive. Eachofouremployeeshasaveryvaluableknowl- edge base gained from years of experience and I want to see that applied to as many cases as I can. So If I can get a tool like 3Shape that lets me design 10 crowns in the time that it would take me to wax two crowns, I’m now applying that knowledge to a broader range of cases and more people benefit from it. We have been building this area of our business independently from the rest of our business and looking at it as a separate entity. feature _ interview I I 43CAD/CAM 1_2016 CAD0116_42-44_Roberts 21.01.16 11:15 Seite 2 CAD0116_42-44_Roberts 21.01.1611:15 Seite 2
