[QUOTE="TheLabGuy, post: 142968, member: 126"] Yeah Scott, tone it down for focks sake man. These guys were being inquisitive, not questioning your methods, or your character. Seriously, stop being so damn defensive, not one of them said you were doing it 'wrong' or 'illegal'. We all search for information on here, it's the mantra of a successful dental lab owner these days. You're a very intelligent person, with the know how to make things very profitable 'legally' with quality. The funny thing in all this is that I was under the same assumption SAM was getting at too till recently, that to mill a virgin Ti interface you had to have that 501K approved. Not true, matter of fact, when Bennett and the NADL sat down with the FDA a few months ago the FDA wanted us to only do stock Ti abutments because according to them, we lab techs/owners don't adjust or touch them. The NADL laughed, and informed the FDA that stock abutments get adjusted more than custom abutments...the FDA had the brook trout look, they had no idea we techs have to customize the stock abutments. Many labs out there are milling the Ti interfaces. By the way, that FDA/NADL conversation was relayed to me by the NADL in February at LMT lab day. [/QUOTE]
