Boosting teeth’s healing ability by mobilizing stem cells in dental pulp

From what i've read, this tech has a lot of potential for savings: Instead of a few appointments, a long process, you can do the work in a single appointment. And you also don't need the materials for the temporary crown.

So this is a classic disruptive technology, in a market where people pay out-of-pocket(if not in the US , in many other places). so why haven't this disrupted the old way?

I too have an anecdote involving a recent dental grad who took over a local practice; he removed the cerec machine installed by the previous owner, and not long after I experienced two failures due the low quality of the crowns produced by that machine. Replacing them with traditional crowns did take some time but they fit and feel much better.

Hm, maybe exactly because of that? Dentists are reluctant to lose these extra appointments because of extra revenue? :) Don't know how it would affect total traffic though.
