which restoration is best

Posted by Lori Weinstein on April 26, 2010 at 6:52pm

Hi to everyone,

 

I just joined the website and look forward to having imformative dialogue.

 

I'm curious...for posterior metal free restorations, what is the preferred product choice?

E-max seems the logical choice since I'm already doing Empress and have the equipment.

There are many to choose from and I want to make the most cost effective choice.

 

Any feedback would be appreciated,

 

Lori

    Cesar,
    I have fabricated 3-unit posterior bridges with emax and they are holding up very well.

    E-max is a marvelous material of choice, but has it`s restrictions.
    We for instance, wax and press a full contour even for anterior geting centric contact on the press material,
    and then layer enamel / translucent powders on facial only. yet still limited for singles only.

    Hi Dean,
    I am constantly getting inquires from my Drs. regarding metal free crowns. I sometimes wonder the if reason is to avoid the sky-rocketing costs of metal. They want me to employ some pressable ceramic besides Empress.
    I rarely get requests for PFMs anymore. So..to keep my business afloat, I need to make a move.
    Any suggestions?
    Lori
