AHH ok, yes there are merits to a 3 main ways. I just wasnt sure if i was missing out on something. thanks for the clarification!
Why not scan the denture teeth and make an exo library?I am doing it combinind the digital way and the analogue one . Set up some nice looking denture teeth (my preference is Gedbi Tribos) , and then I scan them as a wax up and create the frame. Then I rescan the frame after I mill it , and design wax teeth to be milled and pressed. Easy and hassle free
A lot faster setting by hand . Barely 30 minutes . Make a library , scan , design , mill. Way too time consuming for my tasteWhy not scan the denture teeth and make an exo library?
Have you thought about digitizing a mould, setup the teeth virtually, create a matrix which you can print out of flexible resin ? ...at this point you could either setup the denture teeth using the matrix or dupe the teeth in wax for pressing...just sayin'A lot faster setting by hand .

Glad you guys asked all these questions !!
Yes, the denture teeth are being burned and pressed after they are tested in the patient's mouth and they are aprooved . There is a protocol that ensures absolute accuracy from wax bite rim to the finished bridge. I have done 3 of them so far , all went in without the dentists touching anything. It is way faster than a PFM or Zirconia full arch , since minimal layering is required. Ceramics are finished in 2-3 hours from start to have them glazed . Then another 2-3 hours to bond them into place and start doing pink . I can have a BDT bridge finished in one working day. Also this thing is repairable and it is very durable. For me simply the best !!!

There are harder waxes you could use (the kind used by jewellers) and the wall thickness is usually thicker than a regular coping or crown per se...Ive never milled any wax I couldnt crush easily with my fingers.
With the digital setup and printed matrix...you'd send out the case with the actual denture teeth which were set in place with the help of the matrix.) of this procedure is that the dentist can move the teeth to get the esthetic outcome the patient wants or help achieve better function or speech

Occlusal and buccal, I design it full coverage and cut back what I don't need. Drill a hole at the buccal, put the denture tooth into its place and use some sticky wax though the hole to hold it. The matrix sits on some landmarks on the model as well, now with the teeth lined up, all I do is just flow some wax in between the frame and the teeth.how does the matrix work, it holds the occlusal of the teeth?
So I've seen some of this Peek material that is pressed. Is the milled stuff stronger than the pressed stuff?
Are the screws tightened against the Peek material? It would seem like you wouldn't be able to torque it down as tight as metal or zirconia. Not sure if this would be a problem or not over the long haul.
the bit that worries me is you glue or press to the cylinders with the bit of flex that comes with peek etc. i can see a fair few of the cylinders working loose.
Hey Drizzt,
Have you considered using the MT Multi for this? At Bill and Lee's course last month we used the Multi's for the first time and all were really impressed with the results. This will actually shorten your ceramics time, because you really only have to do a stain and glaze due to the material's polychromatic/polytranslucent properties. And since you are doing the full arch (normally) you get to dictate the "layering" effect a little more.
