Hello every body!

Today my dog and I wake up with another existencial crises. Maybee some of you can hep us with your experience!

The cuestions are:

1.- In a conventional P/O lab, what is the reazonable population that a facility can offer a good service?

2.- Does this number of population Changes with the implementation of the CAD/CAM system?

3.- Does any one of you have information or know where do I can found information abouth the geographycal coverage in in both kind of P/O services?

My first guess abouth it is to think that a conventional facility for 100,000 population and a facility provided with CAD/CAM as a central unit of fabrication can increase this number to 500,000.

I made this guess considdering that in countryes like mexico, 18% of the population is disable, and from this 18 %, only 2% suffer a neuromuscular disability.

If we follow this line, we are considdering that a conventional facility can provide service to 360 ( Mayor jobs), And a CAD/CAM central fab can offer a service to 1800 (mayor jobs)

Do you think this guess is OK?

Thats enough crises to share with you for the moment! I will really appreciate any kind of feedback!

Warm regards from Mexico!
