I am loving my EP5000 for pressing eMax crowns and anterior 3 unit bridges. I am ready to go to another level and offer posterior metal free bridges and anterior bridges that fall outside the protocol for eMax Press. ie., I want to start using ZirPress.
Give me some protocols for pressing these other restorations. Is it straight forward or is it better to outsource for LAVA, etc? Al mentioned using ZirPress (and I love everything of his I have seen!). I am still casting copings and stacking dSIGN for posteriors and I want to enjoy not finishing down metal in the near future.
I've seen x-rays of LAVA copings and they look identical PFM castings. Are they supposed to be more mushroom shaped to support the porcelain on the marginal ridges and/or interproximals?
Can you press implant abutments using ZirPress using castable patterns similar to metal? [I usually cast UCLA type (implant level) in gold using "GoldAdapt" or similar "cast-to" abutments... or send to Atlantis].
Call me an idiot, if you would like, but I'd love the input from my family at DLN! Set me straight! How do I jump in?
