Oldie But Goodie: e.max Abutment and Crown
I did this 2 years ago when emax abutments first came out. I can't believe its been that long. I thought it was worth while to post since I'm back in the posting mood. I really like how 10 turned out but I'm not too happy about the shape of 8. Way better than his previous guarded smile but I needed to do some contouring with a lab handpiece. Fortunately the lip hides it well. I think I used A1 LT but it might have been B1 LT. I'd have to check the notes. It was one of my first emax custom abutments instead of zirconia. Oh well. One of the great things about taking pictures after you think you nailed it. It keeps you going back for more.
This is a beautiful case. You must be one of those people where 99% is not quite good enough if you are doubting yourself. The patient was lucky to find you!
Great Post! I think we can pick apart every case we do...I know I do. That's what makes us better.
great job! those anterior implant cases aren't very easy, but your case turned out really nice.
Thanks everybody. I kind of cheated by not showing the frontal retracted shot that shows the bulky neck of 8. But I don't want to come off as unhappy with this case. I thought 10 turned out great. It was hard to fit that in there. It took a few proposals and work arounds to make it fit. I initially tried to keep the abutment as the inter proximal and the crown like a veneer. The software wouldn't allow a margin that high for the split. I thought that would have been cool though. Maybe could have milled a small screw retained and reimage for the veneer to cover the hole. Anybody ever tried that? It's hard to fit a tibase abutment and then emax crown interproximally
