Looking for an alternative to our Sagemax Multi discs. Something that looks natural and is long lasting
Harvest's Temp Esthetic is the one I use and falls into your requirements.Looking for an alternative to our Sagemax Multi discs. Something that looks natural and is long lasting
I can send you a FREE sample of either Multi or Single shade PMMA.Looking for an alternative to our Sagemax Multi discs. Something that looks natural and is long lasting
Just be careful with longer term PMMA service unless you have excellent impressions or scans. Long term with Questionable can easily lead to recurrent caries once removedLooking for an alternative to our Sagemax Multi discs. Something that looks natural and is long lasting
XD Sorry y'all. Been a hectic day at the lab and Doc was rushing me to find a replacement.
28 years of age and have been a lab tech for around 4 years now. Started as a removables guy, then moved onto another lab to process PMMA/Ti-Bar and Zirconia on Ti-bar with Nuvia Ao4s. That company sucks, so now i've been at my current lab for about 2 months, learning CAD/CAM basically on my own, designing Crown/Bridge + Ao4s. Youtube and ZirkonZahn customer support has taught me all I know so far, with some guidance from my doc.
That's what I've found too, my friend. That we can get some incredible gradient PMMA, and some even light-curing staining it, can become almost impossible to get the same result even with layered zirconia. I routinely just use a single shade PMMA and let the final restorations look better, meeting and hopefully exceeding patient expectations. Plastics (PMMA/temps) diffuse and reflect light closer to natural dentition compared to zirconia and ceramics. One clinician mentioned years ago, that Vita Alpha came closest to matching natural teeth other than acrylics.Just be careful with longer term PMMA service unless you have excellent impressions or scans.

Doc really needs to know what they're doing if longer term is more than 3 months. Also, realize shade and expectations, a lighter shade delivered and Pt. may fall in love with it. Been there multiple times. Always try for a darker shade for the provisionals and then deliver finals lighter. Under promise, Over deliver as the rule.
