    Plastic implant parts.

    Has anyone tried to cast and polish the plastic implant parts? How did they turn out? What metal did you use? I tried one with CrCo and couldn't get it to work. There was no way this Dr. would accept the final abutment. Is it even possible to do? Thx, Dave

    porc. bonding.

    So, just so you know, after looking into this issue and talking to both metal and porcelain people we have been using a metal that's not recommended and also didn't know of a bonder. In the old days we used a bonder at times with NP so I guess that explains the debonding. We have some cases...

    After firing it's very dark, then sandblasted. As far as debonding the porc. comes off clean. opaque and porc together, with no oxide on the metal or opaque. I'm still reading trying to figure this out. Thanks again for your help. I know it could something simple. I cast new ingots...

    Screw Retained NP crown.

    Luke, we currently use cast to gold abuts. The Drs. want that. Most of the Imp. we get are Straumann and Astra. I'm lookine for something that is dependable with the fits being like the stock parts. Have you seen any that have been milled and how do they fit? Dave
