Round house Temps

[Sevan P]

So I designed and cut a 13 unit maxillary temp bridge the other day. Gotta love it when a 13unit bridge of any material just drops right into place.

Design:







Milled:



Fit:

No internal adjusting needed. Separated from the disk and dropped right onto the model




I don't have a finished glazed pic, wish I did, it look beautiful, I used the same glaze we used to use on our Belleglass. Simply apply then light cure.

What do you guys think?

Great - how much do you think it cost to produce ? Thanks

Im guessing $10 worth of a fraction of a 98mm PMMA blank, and a couple hours of labor.

Definately a winfall for this case...

Nice job...

Around $10.00 like Martintay said, We charged roughly $59.00 per unit. This case was a nice turn around.

I think it is a great job, it saved you a lot of time!, if the doc ask for metal or fiber enforcement to strengthen the bridge, can you do it?.

I bet he could even design the bridge with a trough and mill it... Then place the ribbond on the ligual and fill it in with composite...

I like it. Your costs did not include mill time tool wear hours where the mill could be doing other things. Yes the computer takes these restorations to the next level and allows an audition of what the final will be.

I work with a few neuromuscular clients that we do a bunch of full mouth restorations based on severely worn dentition, we will make temps that sleeve over like a snap on smile but with much less tissue overlap. Here is one I milled out yesterday, this took 5 hours to mill out and about 20 mins to grind out of disk fit/polish at a rate of $70 a unit.

Good job John,
That's it, I am moving to Ca.!! Do you stain & glaze and then light cure?, I asked this before, if the doc wants enforcement for the bridge ie metal or fiber can it be done?

nice work! very square though, sevan. long broad connector areas. what are your reasons for this ?

SHOW OFF!!!

Great job john., Yes the price was just the simple cost of material.

I simply don't want it to break in the mouth, plus its a temp, the Dr. doesn't really care about esthetics on the temp, the Finals will be much better. It got alter a little to open the embrasures before we glazed it.

Sevan,

When I do the design on these cases the case has been mounted via a TENS bite. We use a Shimbashi measurement to establish ideal mandibular incisal edge placement and set our function from there. We utilize this digital diagnostic to form our path to the finals. We will use this design as an overlay when the client prepares the teeth and takes the master impression. The proper incisal length and curve of spee/wilson on the final restoration will be mimicked unless significant equilibration has been done from our original design.

This has taken the tedious hand eye skill we started with and now we can achieve results so precise that I am really not sure how we did it the old fashion way.

I love technology.

John you do know that you over sprued the living hell out of it when you cam'd those right. LOL that's why it took you so long to cut it out of the disk and finish it.

Yeah you may be right, although if you look closely some of the units are very paper thin as they are going over existing dentition. Over supporting it prevents flex and keeps my ass from puckering too much when I see a tech rushing to cut it out of the puck.

Just finished my Friday, we had our highest gross sales week ever, exceeding my previous best by 13% so I am pumped. Dead tired and dieing for a beer so I am gonna hit the road home.

Enjoy the weekend!

Nice.
