I will add descriptions, so check back often.

Nice list !

When you add the descriptions, make sure that you put it in layman's terms, so patients can understand it. I'd be willing to help with this, as I try to use layman's terms in my office whenever I'm talking to a patient.

Thanks,

Mike

Let me know if I miss anything, I am going to give a quick description pros and cons on metal.

Travis · 10-01-2007, 03:05 PM

Should I plug these sites?

Great idea

!

Would it be possible to list the pros *and cons* (relatively to other materials) in that list? This would make it easier for patients to make informed decisions.

I'll help with the pro's and con's if you need it. Also, with your all-ceramic the 160 MPA flexural strength is correct for Empress Esthetic, I think the Empress II is around 240 MPA.
