Bonding only? What about over implants?

Had a case present the other day. I had to put a crown next to a denture tooth. L Ultimate was the obvious choice.

Looks like tooth dude. Good job.

I just got some of these blocks off Ebay. Milling one this week.

What did you use for stain?

I used powder suspended in glaze. Took a few attempts to get the color dilution subtle enough.

If you are shopping for LAVA Ultimate price out the new Blue Mandrel version. It will fit Roland DWX mills (the holder that comes with the DWX-4 and the optional 6 block adapter for the DWX-50) and is the exact same material as the other mandrel versions.
http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/...with-Blue-Mandrel?N=5144617+3294078820&rt=rud

Here are the various mandrel versions available: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/...terials-and-Equipment?N=5924945+5144617&rt=r3

Regarding bonding issues, all have been traced to Doctors who are not following the prep and bonding procedure outlined by 3M. It is a different material and needs to be treated as clearly described in the free manual available from the 3M website. Nothing major but some instructions that need to be followed. You can order a printed copy of the bonding and handling guide or download it from the 3M website:
http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/mediaw...evTSeSSSSSS--&fn=lava_ultimate_prep_guide.pdf

Regarding the warranty, 3M will replace the restoration if it fails within 10 years. The material comes in packs of 5 so they will send you a replacement 5 pack. The restoration has to be milled on a 3M approved device. Roland DWX mills are approved by 3M for LAVA Ultimate so the warranty coverage applies. You can read details of the warranty on their website:

Thanks Glen ,I will use your links as reference.

I think this product is very underated and I don't think many techs realize it's potential.

I cut back the cusp tips and added 3M Sinfony incisal composite.

It is a sample case but I wanted to post a pic before Labguy

Does look nice.
