Nice work! Any concern about mandibular flexure?
We've made mand. hybrids on 8 or 9 implants and the patient has no issues. I've also seen it the other way too, where a patient experiences sometimes great discomfort until we split the hybrid into segments. I've never personally seen implant loss attributed to it.
To be honest, I haven't seen the research that showed it wasn't significant.
Yeah, I shouldn't of said 'significant', bad choice of words on my part. Rather, that clinicians don't really take into account flexure while planning cases is what I was getting at. It does sound like you have had some experience with this though. How many cases did you have to go back into and split the hybrid with?
Sorry I should have elaborated more. The alloy use is IPS d. Sign 91. Secondly I build it all under 60x microscope (LW scientific). There is no worries for food trap because the lingual is slightly open and patient cleans with shower flosser or water pick. All the implants and crowns are made individually, this makes for easy retrieval. Does anyone need help with one these gladly give some advice
Totally agree! Greet! But sometimes the new product is ture!Nothing new that I've read. Depends on the doc your working for and his/her training as to what they believe. Both my local surgeons think flexure should be accounted for in design.
