That's exactly what I've read and learned so far Bob.. I will continue to use zirconia as it improves into the second generation so to speak, and until we have better materials to mill and press.
Bob, if you saved all the articles/studies on zirconia/ pfz, and emax ...it would be nice if you, or anyone else would start a new thread with posts of all the articles published for everyone to read. Its really to much work for one person to post, but would be very helpful and add more creditability for the use of zirconia, not that it needs it ! Just HATE for non creditable articles/studies to be posted Again on a new thread. If anyone has articles published by Dr. Edward McLaren on zirconia techniques, that would be a "must have" in a thread like this.
I have stacks of lab and dentist trade magazines I saved on articles on all ceramics, but it might take a week or two to sort through.
A better idea might be for several of us to share information to sort out and post as a group. I would be glad to scan/ mail copies of everything I have Bob hint hint lol I bet you have every article ever written on zirconia....
Another idea for a new thread ... Zirconia for Dummies, from A to Y
