Yeah, even Straumann recently sent out email saying they are discontinuing their Mono PEEK scan bodies. LCM

If the platform was more flared, I would have gone with the original Straumann/ITI hollow screw implant https://www.spotimplant.com/en/dental-implants/straumann/hollow-screw LCM

Try Corevent: https://www.spotimplant.com/en/dental-implants/paragon/core-vent LCM

And if you are drawing it directly on the master, that would be duplicated, it should be done with one of those Belle St Claire Wax pencil so would not pick up graphite that may work as an anti-flux . . . .just saying. LCM

Just starting requesting this and like it because it is PEMA, and Fricke stated it can be repaired just like conventional PMMA. I am asking for the most rigid ratio when mixing the polymer. Trying to use as flexible clasp either as complete resin base, or as part of metal RPD framework at the...

Anyone knows for sure what is compatible with the Xive 3.0mm diameter implant? Can't find scan body to use in the US yet. Thank you in advance, LCM

Take it you already emailed them? https://www.sgs-dental.com/index.php/distributors_list/#1516799245675-1ba8d973-d32f LCM

Wishing everyone a healthy, happy holiday and new year!

Thanks, much as I like to, I need to respect the technical person's willingness to discuss their manufacturing and design process, etc and need for confidential nature of what was discussed. Suffice it to say he recognized my curiosity and was very friendly to offer the reasoning, etc at their...

Good theory - very familiar with concept of plastic deformation when metals are stretched beyond the elastic limit. Kind of like if you pull Jello apart, right? Actually, manufacturer was very upfront and just confirmed for me this was a design consideration they engineered into the current...

Nah, it's a typical clone if their WN TLI. Won't give them unless pt consent to submit. LCM

Already did, waiting to see how they will handle this. LCM

Sorry if I was not explicit enough, but the old screw that lasted 10 years was solid at the interface. The replacement that did not last past the first year was actually hollow at the shank. LCM

Very rarely would you find soft tiss prevent a torque wrench from going to designed Ncm. That picture was when pt showed up with the crown in the hands so soft tiss appear to cover it. LCM

Just FYI - noticed how the new screw is hollow in the center? You don't consider it faulty? We use torque wrench routinely and we recheck them on a fixed schedule, etc. Don't know why you would assume it is third party when I specifically said the screw was exactly the part designed to replace...

Interesting case thought I best share . . . This was pt from last week, glad took a good look and noticed after second look/cleaning debris below - pt had new screw placed just Jan 2022 Fortunately, I took pictures in Jan 2022 also . . . and pt not upset once he saw this because he also...

Yes indeed! My email address ends with Netscape, so you know I am an oldtimer! Or dear Dr. Elrod in UMKC called in, in 'Geezerhood'! LCM

Tissue level implants at that diameter should be a NNI (narrow neck implant) . . .

I take it they did not want to have screw access on the crown either . . .
