Simplifying your dental life ... a wonderful idea in a world that seems to be getting more complicated all the time. Tight deadlines and financial constraints abound in the dental lab. Everyone seems to be discussing new materials (zirconia) and techniques (overpressing). And the new technologies (CAD/CAM) require unprecedented amounts of capital – while at the same time the dental lab is expected to be service-oriented and to make the most of its location advantage over providers of imported restorations. It must actively promote – sell! – its range of service and increase  roductivity, defined as best quality of finished work at highest quantities per unit of time. The authors of this  eport present the Metacon light-curing wax by Primotec, supposed to offer considerable time savings.
