Hi Guys- how many of you, started doing them when they first came out, and had position problems? Later to find out( 3i admitted that they had to "change the glue" . Oh well your problem , not theirs. So I was told.

Titanium temp abutments. 3i, Zimmer, and Nobel platforms

prepped temp abutments

temps, two 5 unit bridges on either side of the midline (I hope I nailed the midline! lol)
yes, the midline looks open. it was springy a bit from the soft tissue...but it was closed.

will be doing FCZ bridges and layering some pink porcelain in the smile zone. going to be one of the biggest pink tissue challenges ive had in recent years

i need to update this thread with the finals!

 

[sidesh0wb0b]

ok, final bridges were cemented not long ago. I was chair side for delivery. no contact or occlusal adjustments needed.
there was some minor adjusting done to the abutments on the patients right side. very tricky path of insert.
full contour zirconia with layered gingival ceramic to cover the visible fixtures.

 

[sidesh0wb0b]

patient was uber thrilled to have this decade long journey come to a very happy result! no more crappy bridges, loose fitting partials, and titanium showing

OK, I'll 'shout it out loud'. 3i Sucks! I have had it with those knuckleheads. Changes being made. I'll leave it at that.
