Does anyone have any experience with PM9? What do you think of it?

Haven't used it yet, but I have a couple of friends who use it.....and really like it.

Great for 3d shades .......plus ingots to press with the vm9

thanks Charles, we are big on 3D it would be hard to use Ivoclar and go back to classic.

Charles are your friends around this area? Would they care to speak to me?

Yes, I use PM9 and I love it. When it first came out I was not sold on it, the pressing temp for the ingots were 1000degrees and the overlay porcelain (VM9) fires at approx 900, with thin veneers of sections of crowns you could get distortion if you did not support the material with a firing paste. But Vita has brought out a add-on kit that fires at 800 degrees, with this I can do anything I like with the material. Ingots come in opaque for layered presses or zirconia overpress, transluecent for the stainig technique and now the have a range of high transluecent that come in various shades and even in two enamel shades. With all this said I only press anterior units, inlays and some onlays, I prefer to use a substructure in the posterior and for any bridge work (zirconia).
