Just a follow up on the titanium crowns etc. I now have some crowns and direct to fixture abutments on Straumann rn fixtures. With the help of the referring dentist we will be following how these last. We will review every 3 months checking bone level, colour stability, occlusal wear and tissue response.

This may not be the most scientific project but will at least give an insight as to the application of titanium sub structures bonded with VM9 porcelain.

I will keep updated here.

Direct to Fixture Implants

Just a simple scan and a direct to fixture Straumann bone level abutment can be created in NobelProcera to avoid using gold cylinders. This is more cost effective and the result allows for retrievability as well as a biocompatible material sub gingivally. Is this the future I think so !!!!
