Lori, why do you want metal free?

Hi Dean,
I am constantly getting inquires from my Drs. regarding metal free crowns. I sometimes wonder the if reason is to avoid the sky-rocketing costs of metal. They want me to employ some pressable ceramic besides Empress.
I rarely get requests for PFMs anymore. So..to keep my business afloat, I need to make a move.
Any suggestions?
Lori

E-max is a marvelous material of choice, but has it`s restrictions.
We for instance, wax and press a full contour even for anterior geting centric contact on the press material,
and then layer enamel / translucent powders on facial only. yet still limited for singles only.

Cesar,
I have fabricated 3-unit posterior bridges with emax and they are holding up very well.
