PFTs – Starting at the Coping…

January 15, 2010

Sorry for not posting more regularly – between the holidays and the installation of our milling machine, it has been a little hectic. After a little bit of a rocky start, we made a ton of progress last week.

The zirconia copings and full contour crowns – which we will be marketing as SDL ORIGINal Z – are turning out great.  We have both a High Strength (HS) formulation for posterior crowns and bridges, as well as a High Translucency (HT) which we are using with anterior crowns and the full contour zirconia -FCZ- crowns.

As for titanium…I put together a little video (No criticism will be tolerated – I’m just a guy with a Mac), and posted it on YouTube this morning. Its about 3 minutes long, and gives an abbreviated look at our process for producing a titanium coping. Please stick with the video until the end – I think you will be amazed at the final result.  We plan on veneering the coping with the TriCeram porcelain on Monday, and I plan on posting a subsequent shot of the final crown.

With our new capabilities (and the ever-volatile pricing of gold and palladium), I will be putting together a new fee schedule that I hope to publish next weekend, and will take effect on February 1, 2010…
