My huorly thing is based on and from being at it for so many years. When I get some new design, I have to factor in the fact that I will not be very fast and accept $4.00 an hour once in a while. Pay off for that is learning and perfecting the manufactuer of something new.
What is the fastest a quality PFM crown can be made?? Keep the quality as high as you can. Based on using the best machinery and materials available?
I've found this point where I just keep repeating to myself "It takes what it takes, it can't go any faster". I do continually look for little goodies of info and machinery that can help. That is another thingf this site just might be good for. Problem is,getting people to share their hard earned knowledge.
A few years ago I paid $800.00 for a PFM to my lower left first molar.
My experience with porcelain is from seeing crowns on the work models I get. All metal seems to wear more than the opposing tooth. Porcelain seems to wear down tooth enamel. I mean it seems to be a harder material as I have noticed wear on the opposing models caused by the crown or bridge.
