Am I chasing the wind trying to set quadrant scans from Trios files ? Spent 15 min on one today and said hell with it. Is it possible to do it consistently enough for FCZ or FGC posteriors??

I haven't posted in quite a while. Been so busy. I thought Id start a thread like Rick did on DT where if anybody had a case they wanted to post they could do it without having to make a new thread for it. That can be a pain and intimidating to some people to start a thread in the case...

Intresting Case 7 Abutments, Dr wants custom abutments, cast in type 4 Gold and a one peice PFM bridge on top. 4 of the implants are partialy above the gum line and the angulations are challanging. Off for tryin.

I think this case is going to be nice. 9 unit lower bridge. 4 abutments. The cuspids are rotated and there is not enough room for all 4 anteriors at normal size and straight. I struggled with the anterior arrangement so I trimmed some lower wax facings and set them on the wax...

A common question on this forum. What ingot to use to cover a metal post. For me without a doubt in the anterior region H0. I pressed #7 HO2 3/4 full contour lingual, #8,9 & 10 C2 LT. Dusted with Neutral fired. Stained the gin 1/2 C3 feathering it up higher on the HO2 crown...

I love these type of cases. Making something from nothing. I can already invision the results. Ill be waxing it this week. I ordered 2 oz of HN.

Here is a case that went out the door Mon. It came out pretty nice. Its for an older patient. Alot of Drs complain that labs dont make lower anteriors and especially bridges look real. Ive struggled with making cases on middle aged and older patients look natural and after alot of trial...

I thought Id share this case I have in the works. Its going in the mail tomorrow for frame try in. These are a few of the pic's I give the Dr access to, so he can see my progress and request any changes he may want. He is a prosthodontist and a former tech. The uppers are to be...

I just bought a dual light flash. Im loving it. Im going to retire my ring flash. Crowns dont look flat and I get much better trans and color.

This case is for a Mexican missionary that is only in the US for 1 week. The Dr preordered stock abbutments. It should be going in the mouth tomorrow. The left implant is in the connection area and it is supra gingival. The other is angled facialy so I had to reduce quite a bit off...

This is a production build. Nothing special. Inline porc 5 powders. I strive to do my builds accurate to help keep grinding to a minimun. Where to begin, I am already tired just looking at it. B1 final request. Opaque B1 / B2 gin. Start with the 6 ant. Cervical porc 1st...

This 1st case is the seated pics of the emax anterior build thread. This is a pressed in A1 LT and layered with trans porc then overlayed with different OE powders. This is HO1 with Al body and incisal 1 than overlay of OE3. A2 Lt

I opaqued the tip in Intensive Incisal. Its an opaque modifer in the Inline kit. Then I did a body only build to guarantee the frame is covered. Layer the dentin with different translucent porcs. Fire Add on. Tip: Slice the connections with a thin blade for...

I just mailed this case out this morning. These are the temps they want me to duplicate the shape but improve on them a bit. Note how I reduced the lingual of the dentin rods also so I can wrap them with enamel. Thats it for the build, I forgot to take...

Here are some cases I did last week. They havnt been seated yet. They looked pretty good by eye but as I see them close up I see alot of things I could change.

This is contraindicated but the patient has an open anterior bite, and the Dr requested it so I fill out the script. I dont think it will break. Pre-Op Restoration It went on the first try. A couple things I would correct. 1 After glaze I added a bead of low fusing...

John this first case is the one I talked to you about, Thanks.

Patient is very attractive young woman. She presented like this. These are 3/4 crowns and Venners. Mounted up and waxed full contour Make a matrix of the wax and press fit and cut back for layering. Stain, build contour and glaze and a must, seat on the solid...

This patient presented to the Dr like this. The Dr. gave me .75 mm of reduction. The patient is a male and his teeth are a bit flared. Dr asked for final shade of BL4. He asked for incisal character and ware. He wants no grey showing through. I just finished and...
