Hi all,
I wanted to know how you go about your cementation of implant retained zirconia restorations. I have my cement and bonding dialed but its the actual cementing that I feel could be easier with less back and forth. I am currently using a solid implant cast and cement directly on the cast which is fine but the more units with various draw angles poses difficulty when cementing with adjacent teeth etc, and if I just do one at a time, I get a slight differentiation when cementing the other abutment which ends up making me need to start over and its a serious pain. As you know, the only way to really start over is run the prosthesis in the oven again and burn out the cement and do it again... which I hate to do.
So a couple things.
What is your technique to make this more straight forward?
(Should I use an additional model with no tissue or adjacent teeth and do them that way? I've always chickened on that because I didn't want to buy more analogs but at this point it really seems best.)
If you need to make any change like a slight glaze or add on, is there a way to do it without running it up in the oven and breaking the cement bond? For this reason - I like UCLA PFG but it costs so much more. idk
Appreciate your insight and tips.
Thanks!
