. Then the orthodontist in the corner quietly says he still has models from 1998 and does not plan to get rid of them. The confusion exists because there is no single universal rule. Record retention is controlled by state law, board rules, insurance contracts, malpractice risk, and the type of record

so much, but having my Trios operating smoothly is so important to my day-to-day that I've just paid the annual fee and moved on. I forgot to add that mine is the wired version I had the free first year, have not paid the last 2 years. I am not one to ever pay for insurance on things though. i

In my practice over the years in our diagnostic work up we create study models and change for them. It is my intent to do the same with digital study models as I show below. My question is does anyone think under the current study model Ada code that insurances would accept and reimburse. S

We are an insurance-based practice. Is it ok to charge my patients extra for the Itero scan? Or give them the option of standard impressions vs the digital? We are seeing much better results and great fitting crowns but the incurred fees are really adding up! That would be considered unbundling

you can get sleeves for it somewhere else? Even those are ridiculously expensive. $3-4 for a plastic sleeve is nuts....Costs are high. It's not a money saver, it's a convenience, and after 33 years of practice I will gladly pay. Monthly is about $330 for insurance and unlimited scans. Not sure what

working. No insurance after a year, no option to buy extended warranty or a maintenance program. Carestream doesn't help, basically I have to throw it to the trash and still have to pay 80% of the cost. So before you buy, check with the company if you are going to have a good company to back you up

the insurance, distribution, corporation as well as the general expectation of patients. Very much feel like the man in the middle. I thought Sh$t rolled down hill feels like I am always at the bottom. I will save the ranting for another thread. I do love my scanner too. But only because the labs were unable to produce consistent results any longer with traditional impressions.

often hear from dentists that a quicker turn around isn't much of a factor. However, insurance companies pay based on the seat date. There's something to be said for getting the money you earned as soon as possible.

is going to completely change dentistry. They are saying that you can visualize caries and cracks in 3D (take that insurance companies). That you can take impressions for restorations without drying the teeth, and without removing blood (No more viscostat or cord paking?!?). The machine is going to cost
