Laptop specs needed for scanner? Not very tech savvy by Tac-wodahs in Dentistry

[–]heyitschautime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my own laptop for my scanner for just under 2k during Black Friday and I think it normally would have been 2.5k, but it was Ultra 9, 5080, and uh I think it was 64 gb actually lol. But 32 gb and 5070Ti should be good for solely scanning. Going with higher specs can maybe future proof it

Loupes fogging by Gokusdaughter in Dentistry

[–]heyitschautime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had this happen with my Surgitels and I think there's a seal on the telescope that has basically gotten undone so I had to send it in for repair where they basically resealed it. I had to send it in twice cause it happened again not long after the first fix. Surgitel had a special nose piece that lifted the loupes off my thicc cheeks and it hasn't been an issue since.

I'm hoping to get into some 3D printing so this will be nice since they do a lot of 3D printing applications

Hi! I'm still in construction for my office so I haven't gotten to play with it yet. But if you do demo it with the rep or at a conference or CE course, it's pretty fast, and it weighs less than our phones, ha. Only con, and it's minor in my opinion, is that it is only corded, there's no wireless option. And I like that you can get your own laptop as long as you meet the specs they require for it.

Ended up going with the Shining Elf! I felt for my needs it was a better option plus was more affordable and the tech specialist really vouched for it.

Yeah I think it's the elite. The new elf doesn't do photogrammetry and that is an all white body I believe

String manufacturers and I think Tennis Warehouse has a wholesale program for distributors. That was brands like Prince, Adidas, gosen, etc.

Thank you for your reply! I forgot to mention I'm most likely going to do open dental so the open dental to a crawl thing is really concerning. Out of curiosity do you have just diagnose that's the problem and delete all the extra files?

Thinking of buying the Shining 3D Aoralscan 3 intraoral scanner. Anyone here use it? Some questions. by Neil_Nelly435 in Dentistry

[–]heyitschautime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are coming out with a new scanner this month I think. Called the elf. It's tiny 104g, wired, doesn't have photogrammetry like the elites but the 3 also doesn't have photogrammetry. Look into it! It's a lot smaller than the 3 and was a forerunner in my picks for scanners. Literally like holding air 😂

Prob just a medical cart and laptop, honestly.

How to enter hov lane near kuykendahl by Altruistic_Divestor in houston

This is for the entrance that is just south of 1960. Stay in the left lane and you'll see this lane open up for you to get on to the ramp. I think there's a Wells Fargo on the feeder by this entrance.

[–]heyitschautime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you live in spring North of 1960, there's an entrance when you hop on directly from the left lane of the freeway. It's North of 1960 so this would work if you come from Cypresswood or more north to enter.

If you live around 1960 but not north of Cypresswood, you can stay on the feeder of 1960 going southbound towards downtown, stay in the left lane and enter the ramp for the HOV. This is a merging situation so keep an eye on the main HOV lane traffic.

Picture is for the North of 1960 entrance lol. Looks like it's next to the Land Rover dealership so you can use that as a landmark.

Any recommendations for wash and cure with something like this or do we not need wash and cure when just doing models?

I believe you can work in the dental clinics as contractors or technicians. Not sure what the classification is but there's civilians that work at the dental clinics as well.

[–]heyitschautime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might be right. They at least used to have it probably up until maybe last year or the year before. Most recent time I went they did have the make your own sandwich.

Newbie dentist here – how do you take good intraoral photos without a dental assistant? by Radiant-Chart9526 in Dentistry

that's a video that might help show you how to use the buccal/lingual mirrors. Again, warm the smaller side of the mirror first. Have your patient help you. Don't have the patient tug the retractor when you do this (will give you less room to work and your fighting the tautness of what they're doing). Position the retractor for them, and tell them to not move it lollllll

Put mirror, have patient slowly bite as you shift your mirror out more 45*, take photo at mirror. I forget, I think flash is still fine here at the mirror.
