[QUOTE="JohnWilson, post: 15028, member: 213"] Here is another tip on saving your gp's/ or potential clients loads of head aches. One of the biggest oral surgeons in my area has contracted with me to handle all of his custom abutments. He takes a fixture level impression and we do custom cad/cam abutments with a temp crown that he will deliver. Prior to sending the case. We do 2 things: 1) If the case is an anterior we digitize the abutment in our procera software and save it for potential future use. This take about 3 minutes and we save it to a Flash Drive. Since we do not work with all of the OS's referral base there is a good chance we will never see this unit for the definitive restoration but with the help of some subtle marketing and the OS office managers marketing efforts for us its been a very big growth for us. 2) We make a PVS impression and make a master die of the abutment that the OS will send to the restoring DR in a nice shiny Box with my labs name on it. This allows some subtle marketing to clients I want to work for, and also allows that GP to not be stressed when he takes the final C&B impression. Since most feel its a big no no to pack cord on implants, the soft tissue may lay over on the abutment margin. Since we have a master die to seal margins to thee is no concern if this happens. Have a great week, [/QUOTE]
