I am sure your going to do a wonderful job on this,
Not sure why this guy has to have gold abutments Al, if you were to do these abutments via cad cam it would literally be less than 20 min of design time to get them perfectly parallel, with a 2* taper with consistent .75mm shoulder margins on these abutments. It would also cost about a 1/3 of the cost compared to the cost of gold+the UCLA cyl. Not to mention the hours of time savings as well.
The problem as you know when you have abutments that are as tapered as these getting the bridge to seat perfectly passively is next to impossible.
Have you asked this client as to why he only wants TYPE 3 gold??
Did you finish up the other case or is this it?
Good to see you again.
Assuming in house scanning, design, and milling capabilities....and a Doctor who wants Gold.....
Is there any reason you couldnt....
Use a good quality machinable wax, look for a prototype specific jewelers wax...they burn out clean where most of the other machinable waxes may not...
Kindt collins makes Master Protowax which is brownish gold in color and resold by a dozen different names within the jewelry industry. They also make most of the bright blue machinable wax youll find while looking....'
Personally, Id avoid the blue...good for jewelry master patterns...not good for direct investment.
Sorry if that is too off topic....didnt mean to threadjack....
Great work Al..your pictorials never fail to impress me.
From what Ive been seeing, the Doctor sent it to the right guy. Im curious, what is your education/background in this business. How did you get started, etc. (whens the book coming out?).
hey Al, we've been waiting to see something exciting !
did you make the full wax up before proceeding ?
I've seen similar cases where the bridge will seat in place without cemention , (retention by friction),are we in a similar situation here.
Waiting to see the end
good luck.

What was the reasoning for all the different implants? Pretty, thanks for sharing.
Al, was this case done using computer planning and a surgical guide?
