[QUOTE="Drizzt, post: 286838, member: 4075"] You couldn't be more wrong about your statement. It is by far the easiest way to produce a full arch. I can have it finished from scratch in one day. Plus the Polymer material is ideal for implant cases, and protects the bone, the implants and the masticatory system. It is fully repairable. Plus it looks awesome. I actually had a patient that already had a metal ceramics bridge on 7 implants, say as soon as we inserted the BDT that ''This one feels so much lighter.'' Also regarding the repair in a potential failure, if the frame breaks there are ways of repairing it but I would redo it. Same thing I would do if a zirconia frame broke. Redo. Also another benefit is the ability to etch polymer. I only had failures with metal+acrylic combo because there is no bond between acrylic and metal. I stopped offering them, because patietns would never wear their mouthguards. They lost their teeth in the first place because of lack of discipline of their oral hygiene (most of them at least),they seem not to care much about their expensive implants either. BDT is not a mantra for sure, but I would do it instead of a metal ceramics or zirconia ceramics bridge any day. [/QUOTE]
