Screw retained Titanium bridge

We got some pics back from the dentist so thought I would share this case.


























Many thanks Pete

nice work

Fit is great, like the natural occlusal color. Deeper separation between units, and perhaps a close contact on the mesial would make it superior

Nice job K2 with the crowding.

Thanks Harmony & STT672, we designed it that way (contact wise) as the 4 was already to big so after talking to the the surgeon, she said she was going to put some distal composite on the 3.

Actually I like how you "filled" in the interproximals instead of more separation. The inraoral pic shows the need to avoid a food trap.
That was well planned out.

Nice ceramic work.

Can you share some pictures of the abutment/implant interface. I'd love to see the machining of the parts that mate to the implant. Upon enlarging the picture, it almost looks like cast-to components.

Hi Mark, We are still working on that one, our CAM program is very old and wont let us (yet) do the interfaces, so we use links from Neoss/Medentika then laser weld them together. Its not a perfect solution but it works for us.. Will try and rip the STL so you can see the cad file. All the best Pete

Okay, that explains it. Actually in terms of passive fit, I still know plenty of people who'd prefer to laser weld the interface anyway. Nice job.

Real men use internal hexes...HA!!!

I love seeing the Titanium porcelain work...great stuff!!! and the clinical photo's to boot. I checked with a few of my accounts about Titanium PFM and they checked with the insurance companies and it's legit and good to go. The reimbursements are right in between noble and high noble so some of them are going to start trying these out. Looks like a win-win-win for everyone.

Back to your case though, to be picky and give you something to work on or to take from this, I would clean up your model work. Get rid of those bubbles, and is that a high expansion die stone, not good to use on a multi-implant case. I don't say that to be nit-picking, it's something to work on for the next case, once again great Ti PFM work Pete.

thanks for sharing Pete, so let me guess, you used GC's ceramic?

dont see nothing wrong with laser welding either.

Thanks everyone, in all honesty you guys have been very gentle to me, Lab guy, you are spot on the models on show are not up to scratch, we know that. We use zeiser for private crown and bridge Models, and do solid models for implant work, but we have to cast a second model so that the contacting teeth can be removed for scanning purposes. We cast all models in Zhermack but the sectional model never leaves the lab. Thanks Paul, and yes It was done in GC.
