[QUOTE="eyeloveteeth, post: 144356, member: 6624"] i wouldn't say too early. I would say a combination of bad marketing, and manufacturers finally understanding what the general populace wants. Initially everyone was racing towards "indestructible" zirconia... but seriously who cares if it's 15000000000 mPa? It was a marketing gimmick by Jimmy and he did it real well because he was "first". After that? Doctors have been mislead into thinking they want this super hard stuff that is nearly impossible to adjust in the mouth...so they then b!tch... and now we have crowns nearly 0.5mm out of occlusion... where's the logic in that? none. Finally, we are at a point in the industry where people are pulling their heads out of their a$$e$. Translucent Tosoh is nothing new...you just have to give up strength / hardness. Not to mention easier to produce (as long as it is isostatically pressed) - for example Zenostar is not isostatically pressed (hence the issues with possible warping on long spans). Scott you haven't missed out on anything...if anything, you've just kept clear of the BS that goes on between manufacturers - resellers - and the lab. We are using 16 shades of zirconia right now, and it is so much freaking better than shade range. [/QUOTE]
