Didn't want @Travis getting pissed for using the R rated version! lol

Sissy.

Isn't he talking about the reverse of that? Like a lingual veneer?

The article states that the facial has an open window. I didn't read the whole thing, but skimming through there is no mention of lingual coverage.
But then again, what the hell do I know?

no mention of it, no, but they look and feel bulky by the looks of them. for them to feel less so i'd assume lingual coverage to keep the same B profile.

Years and years ago we did "open faced" crowns with acrylic packed into the facial. Gold frame around for an ethnic esthetic look. Isn't this really what they're looking to do?

Yes, but not a full crown prep. Just a border around the facial. Sort of like your centrals just a little less bling.

from the article: "The provision of these restorations is by 'back street' dentists who lack restorative knowledge and skill. The biological impact of these gold basket crowns (brass) is evident through destruction of healthy tooth tissue, secondary caries and plaque retention leading to periodontal consequences. The following cases highlight these unfortunate outcomes."

So.. why would you want your lab to do these? Its ok to say no. Or tell them to have the pt. get them done in mexico?

Then you are going to stand out like a sore thumb in the Amazon.

I can't argue with that logic.

Why torture yourself. Just give Starlight a call, this is their thing. I believe the metal just bonds on, just like ortho.

He'd stand out like a sore thumb there as well considering how pale and pasty Canadians are. They might even mistake him for the Donald.
