butt margin on titanium implants

[danalab]

Dr. asked that we use butt margins on his implant case. Anyone have success with that on titanium abutment?
Not sure of the logic but he is one that you don't ask.

no
no
and
no
layered ceramic is the weakest link in all our restorations. why on earth would you butt it up against titanium?!?

 

[eyeloveteeth]

yeah, this is where you need to explain that a Zirlux crown is the only answer

 

[CoolHandLuke]

send him a zirconia and ask him how well it worked.

then tell him it was a zirconia.

Walk in your clients office and school him on his/her stupidity.

I have not stacked a porc margin in 5 years its just a total ridiculous and needless act much like metal ceramics

Come on John, I do zir and some porcelan fused to metal with porcelain butt joint and I enjoy the old days. I charge a good amount for PBJ believe me.

Alright I'll recant that statement, it its just mildly stupid not totally idiotic

Nope never have and never will. To much room for error.

on the other hand do it and let him know if it breaks there will be a 200% remake fee. LOL 100% is for the crown the other 100% is for his stupidity.

My thoughts also.....I can not get this man away from PFM.......only 20% of his work is all ceramic! Thank you for your input!

Maybe it is time to find a replacement so you can get away from him?

I had a prosthodontist ask me to do that also...claimed he was certain it was the best marginal integrity. I actually fired opaque on the abutment shoulder before hand so it wasn't rejected for greyness through " a PM on a Ti abutment" Case was accepted and delivered but pretty much the last case done for them.
There's attention to detail and then there's out there...;-)
