"Like all of you, I get to see all the different materials used at every different level and capability. To be perfectly honest, the all-ceramic materials offer very nice esthetics for many situations. But, they are limited in their scope and…"
"HN PFM's are still the majority in my lab. However, I just finished a maxillary reconstruction of porcelain jackets from # 4- #13. Hand stacked the old fashioned way using d-SIGN porcelain on platinum foil substrate. # 3 & # 14 are PFMs with…"

"We are in the US in the Pacific NW and run a high aesthetic boutique lab. We do 90% ceramic restorations on HN - over the last two years, as the price of gold has risen we have seen the GPs opt for Zi over HN - fixed price, better aesthetics, strong…"
"Right now in our lab e.Max is 50%-55% of all restorations, 30% PFM's (HN), 10%-15% FGC (HN) and I would say a ~5% Zirconia crowns per month. From what I see, our Docs switching to e.Max very fast, not without our help of course.
Got e.Max?"
Got e.Max?"
"Here zirconio slows down and docs are returning to CrCo because of price"
"Zirconia has slowed down to and this month I think we are doing like 3 units. Captek and PFM (noble and high noble) are pretty popular. Doing only a few emax though.

"Captek is popular but in the Northeast docs are still conservative and tend to go with PFM's. Not Np though Precious and semi precious. e.Max is gaining in popularity and the drs love both the fit and the esthetics of lithium disillicate"
"Minimal prep veneers are the rage for some . Even the lumineers people say that most often a minimal prep is needed. That said, if the patients teeth are inclined slightly lingual then maybe a no prep can be done. Pascal Magne has felt that enamel…"
