[QUOTE="grantoz, post: 171873, member: 2255"] Prettau has far more runs on the board than peek does, peek could be the future but its the composites that are stuck on to the framework etc that are the problem.I use composite resins for my temp full arches for gum effect and so on .Im sorry they don't hold up like porcelain they stain chip and gather plaque.The patient pays a lot for theses restos and expects the bridge to look good all the time.If the resins weren't a problem then people wouldn't go to the trouble of putting emax and zirc teeth on the peek frameworks. drizzt I think your zero faith in zirc full contour full arch restos is unfounded as there is now ten years worth of real use in real dental labs with virtually no problems no bone loss no tooth abrasion no fractures of the frame work no chipping of the teeth this is far better than 5 years from one or two labs using peek .I think people are looking for a marketing edge we have seen this many times ie emax and their interesting approach to why zirc was no good .People like myself may seem negative that way when Im talking about my concerns about peek .That doesn't mean that I wont use it in the future as im using it now but given the past 10 -15 years of our industry we have been thru a lot of change a got caught up a few times from exaggerated marketing claims and I see this happening again if we are not careful.
