[QUOTE="kimba, post: 96711, member: 9600"] Hi all, This is my first reply but I have been crusing this site for a few weeks now and this thread really struck a cord. This seems to be typical of implant companies in general. They will put down other ways of thinking outside the box they have created as inferior, untill they have developed a way they can doit themselves and then sell it (often to clinicians ) as the brand new thing. Not just straumann, Nobel biocare did it for years in regards coloured zr copings. "colouring makes them weaker " was the company line untill surprise surprise they started to do it. Its funny that John mentions procera abutments on straumann fixtures. Talk to Straumann and doing this will void the implant warranty ,but they will provide you with straumann abutments via the etcon scanner for other companis fixtures!! just a touch hypocritical . But then again I think nobel biocare would say the same thing in reverse. Similarly , about 2 years ago I started experiencing gold flashing over the fitting surface of synocta cylinders after years of no problems at all. When I contacted the rep " no ,your the only one " causing me much anxiety about myself until I speak to others having the exact same problem and when I look back in the past in this site I find it was a problem in the rest of the world as well!!! But nooo company line is you are the only one. Sorry this became a bit of a rant but I feel better to have it off my chest in a forum that I think will understand [/QUOTE]
