[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 30714, member: 126"] It's a lawsuit in the making. Every implant manufacturer clearly states, in bold print, even underlined sometimes that only a noble or high noble metal can be used......NO BASE METAL. Galvanic reactions are not like allergic reactions where they may not develop over time, IT WILL HAPPEN and then you're holding the bag making a new abutment and crown. When base metals and titanium come in contact you have a setup for a battery when the saliva is added, the electrolysis begins. Sometimes the patients get a metallic taste in their mouth, other times its a subtle electrical twinge, and others notice it right away and it feels like someone put a stun gun to them. I'd suggest finding a Porcelain CTE available in noble metal and start using that. Noble metals are half the cost of most high nobles. [/QUOTE]
