You can append the design Luke! Works nicely too!

The only thing to worry about is if you have to adjust

the abutment after the restoration is made, and then they

don't fit. But I've done is several times testing the

"append design to model" and it works beautifully.

True. Your milling center/mill should mill out the file you sent/send to them/it.

is it better to polish an abutment or to leave it unpolished when it comes time to glue it to the overlay?

surely it is better to leave it unpolished, and let the milled topography give surface retention.

i don't know ive never processed one post milling. i knowtheres a sandblast stage but im not sure that should ever come near the margin

I'm meaning just adjusting the chimney height. No margins.

If the abutment was designed correctly, then you shouldn't have to worry about weather or not

the surface is smooth or rough. It should have mechanical retention from the design and the glue is

to just bond them chemically.

Old topic but still. I will receive my first implant scan which I could do modeless but still would like to print it. Now, do I need special analogues cause I assume ordinary will not work or I'm wrong....? Implant is Neodent Alvim...Any help more than appreciated....

What scan flag do you have since they typically have a corresponding analog that would be used for the model and library files. Regarding the analog they are either one piece and snap into the model or two pieces that are screwed into the model.
