Drizzt are you doing it or are your mates doing it for you? also what do you think the fee will be? this is very healthy thread to run. As Kimba pointed out, he has been through the whole beta testing of products before the only problem is the company doesn't tell us that we are beta testing which at times is very bad. look at art glass targis vectris bell glass and so on.Kimba knows what he is talking about as an older progressive techo he has seen this many times .I like the way this website thread has approached this new material with excitement and caution.
I have already done one , 2 years ago and it works perfectly . It was made with zirconia copings and Juvora PEEK .
My mates are doing it for over 5 years , and I trust them completely when they say it works . Actually they were the first to do that kind of work with those materials in the world , so they have mastered everything on it , plus they work closely with Centre Metaux and they have done R&D for them for the PEKKTON material . So I completely trust them .
Cost is not low , but it is not that greater than a conventional PFM all on 6 .
I will give you an example . Before christmas , I made a FMR , all on 6 on both arches , milled CoCr frames , and layered with ceramics . Now , because adjusting occlusion to a patient that had no teeth , that no provisionals were made prior the final treatment is one of the hardest things to do in dentistry , and the patient didn't wear the protection splint , it chipped in one tooth . We fixed it intraoraly , because we were lucky and it could be fixed . But if we weren't lucky , it would be a pain in the a$$ . If the BDT bridge was made , just destroy one crown , fix another and you are good to go . So much better IMO .
