good call on this. i forgot to mention prior that these new impulse ingots are definetely for the "cosmetic shades" ie: BL3, BL4, A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1. notice i left out the BL1 & BL2. these are so high in value that i feel i would be better off with using LT BL1 or BL2. anything darker than...

if i got that proposal, and had difficulty getting something that I like, I would be on the phone with the dental wings support folks. showing them what i had and how to correct it. its the easy way yes, but we gotta save nick from the roof.

you mentioned that ypur docs are sticklers for matching the value correctly. if you have not used them (yet),i would strongly recommend you trying the e.max Impulse ingots. these are the same lithium disilicate we are all using, but these are unique in the fact they feature value more than...

whatever etch gel you are using, take a look at the concentration. the etch gel from ivoclar is a 5% concentration. e.max gets etched for 30 seconds with that 5% variation. there are many other etching gels out there, many of them being 9%. if your using that version, make sure you cut the etch...

your 100% correct ***! The Zirlux and Diazir share the same zirconia material, pre-shaded isostatic discs in 5 shades.

What's up with Titanium? It works, it looks good, its light weight, its radiolucent, its is a lot cheaper than gold, it has a neutral taste,and its biocompatable. Now why can't you believe anyone is fooling with Titanium? Zr is great and so is Titanium you just need to know how to use it!;)...

Mike Girard (CEO of Diadem) is offering a monolithic zirconia called Diazir which in my opinion is the most translucent full contour zirconia out there at this point. He is milling on the 5-axis Roeder's. More info: Diadem Precision Technology - Products - Diazir Zirconia

the EP5000 should press restorations much quicker than the EP500.

i heard that the titanium porcelains are very difficult to work with, especially with bridges and multiple units.

if your calibrating alot, it must mean that your BUSY and pressing many restorations! you can select the calibration interval - from I think every 25 pressings up to 100. you can set that interval and also select calibration parameters on a monthly basis.

john the only thing that you should do after you get it set up is run the dehumidification program - which basically does the "seasoning" of the muffle and all the fire brick inside. It also will pull out every single drop of moisture inside. thats it! after running that, you can get pressing!

all of Palladium/Cobalt alloys being sold are not easy to work with. they do not "pool" when melted and metal finish harder than some non-precious alloys. they have a greenish oxide. they are basically like working on non-precious. you will have to tweak your procedures in order for the alloy to...

your technique sounds fine. you do NOT want to sandblast before staining. remember you already blasted when you took the reaction layer off. i like all the bredent grinders and polishers for surface work. after grinding you would just steam clean or ultra sonic and water. what press do you own...

yep...if your planning on using the e.max LT series, then go with the BL3.

here you go! print these off so you can share them with your dentists. i have checked into this myself and found out that these codes are working for zirconia and lithium disilicate. Veneers-both Empress, e.max & PFZ D2962 - Labial Veneer - Porcelain laminate - laboratory Crowns-both...

your 100% on the money with this! If you have any cosmoposts in the lab (either the 1.3mm or 1.7mm works equally fine) use those to stabilze the waxup during investing. invest right up to the bottom of the wax-up then place a brush-full of investment into the wax-up, then place your cosmopost...

i didnt realize the baumann shared the adesso split cast system? encode recommends the calibrated stratos 100 as we know. now if a lab had previously purchased a stratos 200 or 300 that could also be used but it would have to be calibrated and have 15 degree bennett angles and a 30 degree...

the encode uses the stratos 100 only. also, they use the calibrated version of the articulator so all you will have to do is send down your mounted casts, then they mount your case on another calibrated stratos, complete your implant case. then send the models back to you. if you order the 100...

if the patient has advanced periodontal disease, then absolutely yes that large, heavy crown could certainly cause addtional issues for the doctor & patient such as the crown becomming loose or looser or may possibly fall out down the road. more could certainly be done, this case needs an...

ive seen some larger zirconia restorations with resin built only in the gingival portion of the bridge, obviously after porcelain application. they used the gc gradia material and it looked very nice. so basically, he had a zirconia frame, which he layered with e.max ceram, then used the gradia...
