So this is my first question for this group, I hope you can help me.
When you have a combination case of implants and crowns that is to be mounted with a face bow on a SAM 3 articulator and you want to use with magnetic mounting rings, how do you go about it?
In the first photograph, My sectioned model, first pour, was used for margin definition for the crowns. But the model, with base, was too thick to probably bring the top of the articulator into contact with the mounting jig.
Second photograph. So I mounted a solid model, second pour, on the SAM.
When I went to recheck contacts, etc., on my sectioned model, I discovered that I now had an open contact between implants on #9 and #10 (these had not been sectioned) and that #9 was now slightly longer than #8. To me, this meant that something had shifted somewhat on the second pour.
So aside from getting another gray hair to add to my collection... There has to be an easy answer to this, but I'm not seeing it.
What is everybody else doing in this kind of situation?
Thanks in advanced,
Carol
