Maryland Bridges?

[BlakeHarting]

Anyone know a place that casts Non-Precious?

Or! Does anyone know a way to make a Noble Maryland bridge?

 

[sidesh0wb0b]

yes and yes

Lots of places cast non precious. I do.
I used to make Maryland bridges from noble alloy as well. I Just used etch it etching gel from not sure what company off the top of my head.
Now I prefer emax Maryland bridges

I'm not so sure you can etch noble alloys to bond to enamel.
Unless someone has invented a way of doing this, I wouldn't go there.

 

[rkm rdt]

Regardles of what those speed typers say, I still wouldn't go there.

It came from American dental supply inc.
I wouldn’t go with a high noble. I’ve not had a problem with a noble alloy high in palladium.

Hey thanks! Is it that different from other etching gels?

 

[Juko]

Hey thanks! Is it that different from other etching gels?

It’s a hydrochloric acid
So if you’re wondering if it’s different than say the etching gel you would use for emax then yes it is different.

We used to make Maryland bridges out of noble alloy. We had to Tin plate the retainer surface and the docs used Metabond CB cement at seat. it's been at least 8 years since we've done one like that

I've had a Zr Maryland bridge for about 12 years now (6x8). Apply a very thin layer of VM9 correction porcelain to the inside of wings, etch (hydrofluoric acid),and bond. I had a non-precious MD bridge there before. The metal showed through the incisal of my lateral and it fell out about every three months.
