about screw-retained versus cement-retained crowns.

If you have to go in on your day off to do lab
work, might as well be something fun. I love this stuff!
As an aside, I do all the abutments in two visits, and pour
models on multiple units and bridges. I just want to get
contacts dialed in before the patient comes back, and they
are nice to have just in case.
Finish, stain and glaze on Monday, and they all go in
Tuesday!
Fun stuff.
Ross Enfinger | Orlando (U.S.)
I have five abutments due Monday, so I’ll over-
night the models to you so you’ll have the time
to work on them over your weekend *winking*.
Jeff Johnston | Denver (U.S.)
Very nice ...
That’s a lot of abutment cases!
Mike Skramstad (Faculty)
I charge double for weekend work, Ross ;)
Paul Wulff | Prescott, Ariz. (U.S.)
I agree — abutments are some of the coolest
things we do, I love doing them.
Woof.
Mark Davis | Klamath Falls, Ore. (U.S.)
[In response to Mike Skramstad: “I just want to
get contacts dialed in ...”]
This is a good idea. I have had trouble imaging a good
contact with the scan posts in place, and end up adjusting
my contacts from inside the gingival mask.
Bob Conte | Warwick, R.I. (U.S.)
That’s a great day!
Ray Kessler | Charlotte, N.C. (U.S.)
NICE. Am I looking at e.max abutments?
Karl Schneck | Medford, Ore. (U.S.)
Ray! You know those are not FDA approved for
patients in this country, shame on you.

Luis Filipe Mata | Foz do Arelho (PT)
Nah, Mike is shipping them overseas!
Mike, looks like you could have done those
screwed instead of cemented. I’m not getting into the
