[QUOTE="Andrew Priddy, post: 178259, member: 12977"] first off, I don't understand why you would want to cast directly to Ti anyway... just because you can, doesn't mean you should. ok, you cut retention grooves, but I can guarantee there will be micro movement. also, as mentioned, there will be an oxide layer that will be eroded out with the patients morning orange juice, further opening a gap, and further movement.. from a time and materials standpoint this makes absolutely NO sense whatsoever.. it took longer to cut the retention, polish the tibase after firing, than it would to bond a correctly fabricated restoration... I just simply don't understand why this would be done form a "cost" prospective. when I do things on restorations in the Lab that i'm not comfortable with, it's because it's one of those cases where there are no other options, and I am certain I have done everything I can before it goes out the door. ethically, our goal is to restore and preserve a patients oral health.. that's primary. I too loose sight of that sometimes, but it's times like "now" that center me again [/QUOTE]
