Technical notes for dental professionals

Material selection, scan protocols, guide design and logistics — written by the people who produce the cases.

The material decision is usually made per tooth, not per patient. Here is the rule we apply in the laboratory when the case is ambiguous.

Most design delays are caused by the same five issues in the scan. Checking them takes two minutes at the chair.

Shade is the most common reason an aesthetic case is remade. The cause is rarely the ceramic — it is the record.

Passive fit is a design outcome, not a polishing step. Four decisions determine whether a bar seats without stress.

Guide accuracy comes from the data set and the seating, not from the printer. Here is what we check before printing.

A plan that looks smooth in software can stall at stage 12. The cause is usually movement per stage, not the aligner material.

Stabilisation, repositioning, pivot and NTI appliances solve different problems. Using the wrong one delays the diagnosis.

A stock abutment is cheaper and faster. The question is whether the patient's anatomy allows it.

Customs delays are usually a documentation problem, not a transport problem. What to prepare before the first shipment.

After reviewing remake records, the causes fall into four groups. Three of them are preventable before production starts.
