[QUOTE="Jason D, post: 172213, member: 12217"] In simplest terms, the fda has only cleared the material for short term use (ie surgical guides, impressions trays etc). Now, we all know that some of these materials are as good as (in some cases better than) the materials used in appliance fabrication every day in labs across the globe. As I understand it the 24 hour number is based upon FDA, not the manufacturers estimation of the material. Logic says it is only a matter of (a very short) time before these and other materials like them get cleared for long term use and we make our mouthguards, deprogrammers, ortho appliances etc out of them. However, logic does not count for much when dealing with a government run organization. So only time will tell. Banghead [/QUOTE]
