Looks great! Such a nice way to calm down besides all the hustle in the dental office! Really inspiring. Thank you for taking us on your journey besides all the dental knowledge 💪🏼
What a lovely garden…. And what a lovely home workplace… also currently trying to setup a dental technician workplace at home, away from my dental office….
Hi James- 3 questions 1-Do you scan and print the temps @ the prep appt? 2, are you spot etching/bonding the temps?, 3 Your 5-axis mill, is it using "pucks" or "blocs" ? Work, Life Balance achieved, congratulations !
Yes on prepping and scanning. Spot etch only if needed for retention. The PM7 is puck for zirconia and blocks for ceramics. I still use the Primescan, MC XL for routine chair side same-day restorations, all the best$
Hi Dr Klim how areyou,been watching your videos last few weeks ,thank you; been amazing. I am about to step into same day dentistry with Inlab 22 and primemill,speedfire. My concerns with primemill are not being able to be conservative in crown preps especially with Zirconia. Can please share your thoughts on minimal marginal thickness you can realistically achieve on primemill. Thanks once again 😊
The Primemill as a 4-axis does best with zirconia mills due to the small carbide needle bur. My minimal thickness parameter is 300 um with a margin thickness of 50 um. The margins are thinned to a razor blade thickness following sintering with a coarse polishing wheel. The most critical concept when engineering zirconia is to know the inherent structure of 3Y, 4Y, and 5Y. The Primemill's best mills are in zirconia and are easily at the top of the milling world. I would also advise getting the CS6 furnace. The speedfire is excellent for the Katana zirconia, and that is about it. To use the full range of zirconias available. the SC6 does the best job. I have both and use them daily in practice. All the best.
I still love ceramics and see a need for them. I also use the Primemill for zirconia mills for same day restorations, and it does well as a 4-axis mill.

Greetings from Mexico, here you have a great admirer of your work
Wow, thanks!
James, did you consider the MCX5 when you purchased the PM7? Any specific reason why you chose the PM7? Thank you!
Love the garden!!! Say hi to Jordan for me 😊🎉
Will do!!

Thank you for your message and explaining with such details,you are legend 👏
What about 5 axis mill and only zirconia??
To ditch glass ceramics...

Love it
