PFM crowns still have their place, although crowns made with the zirconia substructure are becoming more popular. We use only gold alloy (51% to 75% Au content) for the PFM crowns but with the recent high price of Gold, I think zirconia material…

Like all of you, I get to see all the different materials used at every different level and capability. To be perfectly honest, the all-ceramic materials offer very nice esthetics for many situations. But, they are limited in their scope or…

We are in the US in the Pacific NW and run a high aesthetic boutique lab. We do 90% ceramic restorations on HN - over the last two years, as the price of gold has risen we have seen the GPs opt for Zi over HN - fixed price, better aesthetics, strong…

Right now in our lab e.Max is 50%-55% of all restorations, 30% PFM's (HN), 10%-15% FGC (HN) and I would say a ~5% Zirconia crowns per month. From what I see, our Docs switching to e.Max very fast, not without our help of course. Got e.Max?

Zirconia has slowed down to and this month I think we are doing like 3 units. Captek and PFM (noble and high noble) are pretty popular. Doing only a few emax though. Rick

Captek is popular but in the Northeast docs are still conservative and tend to go with PFM's. Not Np though Precious and semi precious. e.Max is gaining in popularity and the drs love both the fit and the esthetics of lithium disillicate

Doug, Although many cement these amd Ivoclar advocates this, I am not sure if cementing is the best choice for emax . THis is just a personal view though but have heard many dentist not recomend cementing. Rick
