DMLS crowns and bridges

What you get

The framework is built up in layers by laser rather than cast, so the fit is consistent across the span and there is no investment or casting shrinkage to compensate for. Ceramic is built up by hand over the framework.

When to choose it

• Long span bridges where framework rigidity matters.
• Cases with limited occlusal clearance.
• Practices whose patients want ceramic aesthetics at a metal ceramic price.

What we need from you

• Clearance. Around 1.5 mm occlusal and 1.2 to 1.5 mm facial where ceramic will be layered.
• Margin. A shoulder or deep chamfer on the facial, chamfer elsewhere, recorded cleanly.
• Records. Opposing arch and a bite record with every case.
• Shade. Tab plus a daylight photograph beside the prep.

Everything is on the printable case sheet.
