Opaqing titanium abutments

[rstcdt]

Do titanium abutments loose strength after firing opaque to mask out metal?
How about removing oxide w/o changing dimensional integrity of connection to implant?

Instead of firing the abutment in an oven,, we'll sometimes light cure Sculpture opaque . It's works well.

Great! I was also thinking light cure. Maybe Gradia GC product.
Thanks!

that's where we'll be goin with the light cured materials since Sculpture Fibrecore is gone in our neck of the woods.
