Modus Operandi Part 2: Wax On or Wax Off?

I decided to post up some artsy in-proccess shots I've been hiding. Here is a couple photos that many in dentistry will recognize. Mark is performing the final touch to a Lithium disilicate restoration, IPS e.max Press by Ivoclar. At McTech we etch every e.max crown before delivery. We use the IPS Ceramic Etching Gel and follow Ivoclar's instructions.
I hope that the following can serve to clear up the cloudy nature of philosophy into a relevant definition to restorative dentistry. However, as is the nature of philosophy, analogies, models, and comparisons being in order that may at times feel like tangents. I will try my best to be concise as to how I see things.

The sum total of medical knowledge is now so great and wide spreading that it would be futile for any one man…to assume that he has even a working knowledge of any large part of the whole. The very necessities of the case are driving practitioners into cooperation. The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered, and in order that the sick may have the benefit of advancing knowledge, union of forces is necessary”
