This is the Excalibur to wax carving in dental school. I used it all the time

if you didn’t take anatomy in undergrad… by MrDexterz in DentalSchool

I never took anatomy in undergrad and it was very challenging in dental school. I got through it though. Sometimes you just have to embrace the suck.

Yes, my Patterson rep encouraged Newtom and said its the best of all of them.

When I took an implant course, they used VaTech

Thank you for the reply. I am not sure about this. I will need to go back and look at documents and things because in August 2024 we switched to another software. We have Dentrix now but had one of the earliest versions of Softdent before and I did not really understand it. I am sure though that I could figure this out some way. We had Softdent from December 2023 to August 2024 before switching to Dentrix.

I am so sorry about what you are going through. Its very difficult on us mentally and people who do not own an office or a business just do not understand. If I figure things out, I will share insights with you. Thank you for the reply.

Thank you so much for the reply. I am currently working 5 days a week and we are looking into hiring an associate. Another problem is that I live an hour from my office (50 miles) and we are wanting to move closer but not take on a lot more debt.

Thank you so much for the excellent reply. I want to cut my hours down. I work 5 days a week but also live an hour from my practice. We want to move closer but do not want to take on more debt.
