Brabant's will be training on and evaluating Lava™ DVS on Monday for the first time and we are very excited about the possibilities.
Here is what we know so far:
3M's new DVS system takes your properly designed Lava zirconia coping and fuses/bonds to it a milled, ceramic full contour veneer. After a few design stages and firings you have a crown with few if any imperfections in the porcelain.
What we expect to learn:
- What is the strength, and the indications
- Is there a stable bond between the zirconia and the milled porcelain
- Will this be a better product, or are we going backward
- How much will this cost, for the lab and the Dr and will it be worth the price
- Are there fewer or more steps, and are they worth it for the results
We are very excited about the product, and look forward to learning more and posting our results afterward ... especially more technical information. If your like me and checked the 3M website for information, you'll be let down as they discuss the process but give you little info on the actual product. Check it out here.
Also coming soon is new implant software (a few weeks away from what I hear) for the Lava design system of which I've heard great things ... We should know more about this after Monday as well.
We hope everyone had a great new year! Happy 2010.
Thanks,
Dan
