Doc looking for a resin/composite material.

[Bryce Hiller]

Hi everyone! We have a Dr looking for a resin or composite material for a permanent crown over an implant abutment. Any recommendations for something that could be milled?

I'm not sure there is anything on the market that would be classified "permanent". I know we've used Schutz Dental Tizian's 'reinforced zirconium composite' in the past but I still think that's only to be used for two years or less. I'm curious what others say here.

 

[Bryce Hiller]

Yeah, i don't know of anything permanent either, that's the problem i'm running into as well.

Multistratum from Zirkon Zhan best Ive used by far.

Anterior or posterior?
Can you make it screw retained ?
If so then go with a pmma or nano composite and replace it down the road if or when it fractures.

GC Cerasmart.

GC Cerasmart.

very interested. know anybody that could mill it for us?

 

[PRO ARTS DL]

VITA ENAMIC although I believe it's a ceramic and composite hybrid

Or maybe a PEEK substructure with composite buildup?

It'll mill on a Roland or similar dry mill. I'd offer to mill one but our reseller won't load the strategies on their locked SUM 3D cam, but I'm sure a there's a milling center on the forum that could do it for you.

Why not just make a coping and put composite on it? Theres already metal in the mouth, you can even make it titanium.

Yeah, i know. Not my call though. Dr. wants what Dr. wants.

I get it, just make sure you charge him and use a metal coping after the first one breaks.

Why not just use pekkton or peek? Many variations out there, not esthetic, but will last.

 

[DESS-USA]

pekkton or trilor or trinia????

 

[TwinBo]

GC cerasmart or Vita Enamic. Enamic is ugly as sin but IMO a better material since it can be etched. Cerasmart looks better. I would caution against using these materials. I have placed some over implants but they have a higher incidence of debonding. I would try to talk him into pfm, zirconia, or emax.

peek is more expensive per block than zi why not just make zi monolithic ,they all want a permanent plastic it aint there.

sure there is, its called Nylon, also referred to as Delrin, or Acetal. Myerson makes tons of it.

 

[grantoz]

[CoolHandLuke]

i didnt say it was, just that its durable white plastic common in 100's of industries by various trade names.

 

[grantoz]
