I agree there is a segment of the aging profession that WILL NEVER EVER ask for anything but a PFM. Thats fine but it is your responsibility to yourself.your staff and the patient to take a minute to educate your client.
Perpetuating this cycle by not educating these clients that their choice in materials have been proven to be a health risk for not only the patient but the tech working with them is unforgivable. If they are too cheap to even use a Nobel metal I sure as hell do not want to think about how they are when it comes to pay the months total.
While this specific metal being discussed does not have BE in it it does have close to 9% nickel. Why deal with this crap? With all the crap we have to protect ourself from this isn't something you should have to put yourself through.
I am not looking down on the techs that offer this, all I am saying is have you taken the time to discuss the negative issues with this type of restoration with your clients? Perhaps I may be so bold as to think it will take your relationship to the next level?
Anyhow, you sucked me into spinning it off again.... good job
In the UK almost every lab producing "Health service" work will be asked to produce NP bonded crowns (or should i say prescribed on RX ) this is probably still the majoratory % of work- how else do dentists expect these crowns for £30 or less !! Also Cad-cam is making NP more acceptable !! + the resession !!
