Anodizing abutments

[rgkbmk]

Some of my implants can't be anodized so I am going to do it my self. Now the question is I understand the voltage needed has to be 100 or more. Does the Amps matter as well?

several things matter in Anodizing any metal: the Voltage, the acidity of solution, the time in the dip, the temperature of the dip, the conductance of the wires, and the distance between anode and cathode.

i recommend a few quick youtube demos about this process:









language warning on some of those vids.

Figured it out and trying to arder one now. Thanks ROb Teachout! I have everything I need but the wrong DC convertor.

is the anodizing of abutments just its color, does it have an effect on the subgangular?

 

[rgkbmk]

Just color

Subgangular? Is that an actual word?

Painfulpleasures.com (I know it sounds dirty, but its a body piercing site) I bought the kit they have for I believe around $250. It works great, I am able to do a variety of colors. It really makes my custom abutments stand out.

Yeah, it's just for color, it has not effect on the titanium at all other than changing the color.

No problem Bud!!! Happy Anondizing

On a somewhat related note can anyone share with me a good way to prevent or remove the oxidation we get on an abutment when we need to debond it from the crown?

I go over it with a used polishing bristle, without adding polishing compound (!). Whatever is left on the bristle is enough. No pressure applied and low speed. It doesn't take much to get rid of it.

Thanks, we will try this approach

Thanks, i will get a few and try this, have a great day
