The author's intent has been to promote a close working relationship between the dentist and the technician. Certainly, McCracken was doing that when he said that he hoped they could "work together in proper sequence to develop restorations that are biologically and mechanically sound and to produce removable partial dentures that reflect continuous progress in prosthetic dentistry". That's the secret. The dentist and the technician should work together and in proper sequence. Too often dental education and the dental profession have seemed to espouse the idea that the technician must function as an automaton in the fabrication of removable partial dentures. The practitioner of general dentistry can certainly ask for ideas and suggestions from the technician and still control the ultimate outcome. The dentist can share thoughts with the technician to ameliorate the "love-hate" relationship and still be responsible for the removable partial denture treatment.
作者的意图是促进牙医和技师之间紧密的工作关系。当然，麦克拉肯在说他希望他们能“按适当顺序合作，制作出在生物学和机械性能上都良好的修复体，并生产出能反映口腔修复学不断进步的可摘局部义齿”时，就是在这么做。这就是秘诀。牙医和技师应该一起并按适当顺序工作。牙科教育和牙科行业常常似乎支持这样一种观点，即技师在制作可摘局部义齿时必须像自动机器一样工作。普通牙科从业者当然可以向技师征求意见和建议，同时仍能掌控最终结果。牙医可以与技师分享想法，以改善这种“爱恨交织”的关系，同时仍对可摘局部义齿治疗负责。
