SLM from Bego is discontinued in the U.S.A.

The last day Bego will accept cases for SLM is April 27, 2017. I'm just wanting to know what other companies everyone is using, and your "pros/cons" with them. We're trying Argen- had a couple of opaque bonding issues.

Did they say, or do you know why?

Argen. They do a very nice job and have many options for alloys.

I know some people were doing second structure for their implant bar with BEGO, if you want a solution give me a call.

The letter we recieved states the decision is based on the high cost of production and the increased pricing pressure, as well as a reduced demand for this particular offering.

I'm not an SLM fan. I used Bego for DPM but switched to Argen when they dropped that a year ago or so. I have used both DPM and SLM from Argen and I personally prefer DPM. Besides, I get my case back in less than 48 hours.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
